During a recent appearance on a podcast, noted media wingnut Joy Reid cast doubt on the assassination attempt on President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania in the summer of 2024.
Now is a good time to remember that Joy Reid was too crazy for MSNBC, which fired her last year. Now that she doesn’t have the guardrails of a network to rein her in, she is even crazier than she was before.
It’s also important to note that Trump was not the only person who was shot that day. Corey Comperatore was killed shielding his family from gunfire. Reid is disrespecting his memory with this insanity.
Townhall reports:
During an interview with MeidasTouch’s Katie Phang, Reid repeated a fringe leftist claim that the July 2024 assassination attempt on President Donald Trump was faked. But she went even further than most of her comrades. In fact, she went so far that she wound up at Hogwarts Wizarding School.
“He’s got these magical doctors who claimed that he was shot in the ear, but his ear, I guess, grew back,” Reid said. “He had a Duplo bandage on one minute, no bandage the next. We can’t get a medical record from this alleged assassination. He was supposed to be shot. We have nothing. We’ve got nothing. You can’t even ask.”
Phang chimed in, going along with the charade. “Where are the investigative records? One day, he slapped his maxi pad on his ear, the next day, the ear is totally fine,” she said.
“We knew almost immediately, almost everything about [President John F.] Kennedy’s assassination. I know more about [President William] McKinley’s assassination that I do about this attempt to assassinate Trump when he was a presidential candidate,” Reid bloviated. “We’re getting nothing. The mainstream media isn’t demanding his medical records.

The only thing that Reid (sort of) gets right here is that we still know almost nothing about the attempted assassin. That is the fault of her industry.
