In a move that even Oliver Stone would applaud, MSNBC’s resident provocateur Joy Reid has taken to TikTok to swirl the waters of controversy once again. This time, her sights are set on the recent assassination attempt on President Trump—a dramatic event already fraught with tension and speculation. But Reid isn’t satisfied with the official narrative; she’s hinting at an elaborate conspiracy, suggesting the entire incident might be staged.
Joy Reid, never one to shy away from a controversial take, questions whether Trump was actually hit by a bullet during the chaotic scene at the rally. In her video, she speculates, “We still don’t know for sure whether Donald Trump was hit by a bullet, whether he was hit by glass fragments, whether he was hit by shrapnel. We don’t have those details. We actually have no details from his physician, even though this man is still a Secret Service protected, and presidential candidate”.
Reid didn’t stop there. She pointed out the lack of detailed information regarding the injuries sustained by Trump and other victims. Three people were shot, with one fatality, yet the specifics remain murky. Reid’s incredulity extends to the media’s seemingly tepid response in digging deeper into the incident.
One of Reid’s most striking points of skepticism revolves around Trump’s actions during the shooting. She questioned why Trump stood up during an active shooter situation, even posing for a photo. “Why was he allowed to stand back up during an active shooting situation and ‘pose’ for a photo? Why does there seem to be a lack of curiosity about the incident in the media world?” Reid asked. To her, the optics of Trump standing tall and fist-pumping for the cameras amid chaos appeared too orchestrated to be genuine.
Joy Reid also took a jab at her colleagues in the media, expressing bewilderment at their apparent disinterest in aggressively pursuing the story. She asked, “Why isn’t the New York Times aggressively pursuing his medical records? It’s just a strange thing that I’ve noticed. And I don’t know if you guys have noticed it too. But it’s weird.” Reid’s commentary underscores a broader frustration with what she perceives as selective scrutiny from the press.
The boldness of Reid’s claims hasn’t gone unnoticed. With Alex Jones recently losing a defamation lawsuit for spreading falsehoods, Reid’s speculative video could land her in hot water.
As Joy Reid’s conspiracy theory gains traction, it adds yet another layer to an already complex and contentious event. Whether her claims hold water or become fodder for legal battles remains to be seen.
