“I apologize to my friends and I want to apologize to the trans community and to Ann. While still refusing to accept that the past posts were written by her, Reid did apologize for a handful of old tweets in which she attacked conservative commentator Ann Coulter with transgender stereotypes, calling Coulter a “dude” and writing “I like my drag queens fierce.” On Saturday, Reid backtracked from that claim. POLITICO previously reported that the network forwarded a statement from a “cyber-security expert” hired by Reid, who supported the host’s claim that the posts on her former The Reid Report blog had been manipulated.
