In an era where mainstream media seems hell-bent on twisting facts into far-fetched fantasies, former MSNBC personality Joy Reid has once again proven just how desperate the liberal establishment has become. During a recent podcast appearance, Reid resorted to wild, unsubstantiated claims concerning the assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump, casting serious doubt on an event that shook the nation and honoring the ultimate sacrifice of a true patriot.

Gone are the days when cable news would keep reckless commentary in check. Freed from the guardrails of a traditional network, Reid’s unhinged ramblings have reached a whole new level of conspiracy-mongering—a level that leaves any reasonable Republican enraged. After all, how can we allow someone to disrespect a heroic act and the memory of Corey Comperatore, who died protecting his family from a gunman, with nothing more than absurd claims and distortion of facts?

During her conversation with MeidasTouch’s Katie Phang, Reid embraced fringe leftist ideologies, blatantly attempting to rewrite history. In a moment that perfectly encapsulates her descent into fantasy, she stated, “He’s got these magical doctors who claimed that he was shot in the ear, but his ear, I guess, grew back.” Such claims are not only laughable—they are an insult to the very notion of truth that any patriot holds dear.

Reid continued her tirade by pointing to the changing appearance of President Trump’s bandage as supposed evidence of a cover-up. “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,” she declared. There is nothing magical about the way medical care works, and to use such trivial details as fodder for conspiracy highlights a complete disregard for reality.

Even more damning was her host Katie Phang, who joined in, saying, “Where are the investigative records? One day, he slapped his maxi pad on his ear, the next day, the ear is totally fine.” This callous exchange trivializes a violent, traumatic event, showcasing an alarming complacency toward the truth and an unwavering agenda to undermine all confidence in our strong, resilient leader.

Not stopping there, Reid attempted to draw a historically illiterate parallel. “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,” she claimed. This comparison is not only factually incorrect—it smacks of a deep-rooted bias that only serves to further delegitimize any event that does not fit a liberal narrative.

The only hint of truth in Reid’s entire narrative was her question regarding the assassin. Yet even this was twisted beyond recognition, as she misattributes the fault. It is indeed true that the American public is left in the dark about certain details concerning the lone shooter. However, this void isn’t the fault of President Trump or his staunch supporters—it is a consequence of the mainstream media’s refusal to meaningfully investigate the facts.

The mainstream media, which Reid claims is not demanding records, has largely forsaken its duty to chase down the factual record. Instead, they’ve opted to amplify every absurd conspiracy theory that fits their leftist agenda—thereby undermining the very institution of truth itself. Their complete silence on the shooter’s background is a damning admission of their partisan priorities.

This entire episode serves as a stark reminder of how the modern liberal media functions as a breeding ground for reckless ideologues. Their reckless behavior and irresponsible commentary are aimed squarely at discrediting a leader who has repeatedly proven his mettle in the face of imminent danger. In contrast to the flimsy, cowardly rhetoric of these left-wing hacks, President Trump’s steadfast response to the attempted assassination stands true to the spirit of American resilience and unyielding patriotism.
