Joy Reid's old tweets about 'rentboys' and 'grimey closet-cases' re-emerge days after the MSNBC host denied writing homophobic blog comments appearing under her name
Joy Reid claims new images from her old blog showing homophobic comments that appeared on an internet archive site were not written by her
Now her eight-year-old tweets about 'rentboys' and 'grimey closet-cases' have resurfaced
In one tweet, she refers to Southern Baptist minister George Rekers, who was famously caught with a male prostitute, as a 'rentboy'
'Rush Limbaugh's fourth marriage offers a hopeful message for fat, grimey closet-cases everywhere. Get rich (Karl Rover, you're on deck!)' she added
DailyMail.com has reached out to MSNBC and Reid for comment
Reid has not yet commented on the tweets, but she claimed the homophobic blog posts were put up by hackers
She had also already apologized for those comments on the same blog
DailyMail.com reached out to Wayback Machine to verify the authenticity of the new screenshots, which Reid has not disputed, but has not yet heard back
Reid currently hosts AMJoy on MSNBC, and she previously hosted a show on the same network titled The Reid Report, the same name as her former blog
