Gay adult film actor Michael Lucas, who has a long history of pro-Israel activism, slammed MSNBC host Joy Reid over the weekend as a "homophobe" and "liar." Reid, who has been embroiled in a scandal involving past blog posts, apologized on Saturday for comments that belittled or mocked the LGBTQ community. Reid initially claimed that past blog posts which recently drew criticism were fabricated, but has since backed down from that claim.

"It would be insane to fall for Joy Reid's claim that she was hacked," Lucas who has Russian, Jewish roots told Breitbart News. "Not only did MSNBC not fire her, they didn't even condemn her views."

Lucas continued, “She is also a powerful liberal black women who has one of the biggest Twitter followings amongst TV hosts. I think the liberal hypocrisy is clear.”

A Daily Beast investigation last week found Reid’s hacking claim to be not credible. “Claims by Joy Reid’s Cybersecurity Expert Fall Apart” was the title of a Beast investigative report.

“The Daily Beast investigated the MSNBC host’s claims that someone hacked her old blogs to make her appear homophobic and found that the evidence provided crumbles under scrutiny,” the Beast reported.

CNN’s media reporter Tom Kludt maintained that “Reid’s hacking claims don’t add up.”

Breitbart’s Jerusalem bureau chief added that, “Progressive groups, meanwhile, have been largely silent in the face of the Reid controversy. The George Soros-funded Media Matters for America progressive advocacy group, which helped lead the recent anti-Ingraham campaign, went so far as to announce that Reid’s actions do to not meet the organization’s “standard” to lead a boycott.” George Soros no longer funds Media Matters for America.
