The statement isn't a big deal to normal people. The time traveling internet archive hacking claim is hilarious though.
It’s definitely a bigger deal that she lied than the actual statement.
Now she can’t really even own up to it. She’s got to see it through and hope it goes ok, because she can’t really go back now and be like “oh, ok, I actually did write that, and then hired a white supremacist fake security expert to bolster my case, and filed a fake case with the fbi (or pretended to file a case with the fbi), so sorrry, I have changed now!”
I think this is probably the end for her off of AM radio (or as a Fox News resident democrat). That’s fine with me because I really don’t like Joy reid. She basically practices the worst kind of identity politics.
