During MSNBC’s coverage of this week’s Republican National Convention, hosts Joy Reid and Jen Psaki compared Joe Biden’s battle with Covid to Donald Trump being shot in the ear by a would-be assassin who killed one man and injured several others.
Reid whines that Trump surviving an assassination attempt is viewed “as a sign of strength.” She suggests Biden recovering from COVID should be celebrated the same way: “If he does fine…and is able to do rallies, isn’t that exactly the same?”
“It should,” Jen Psaki says. pic.twitter.com/P6CS47Q2PX— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 17, 2024
“These two men are both elderly,” Reid said in a video clip going viral online. “Donald Trump is an elderly man who, for whatever reason, was given nine seconds to take an iconic photo-op during an active shooter situation. Weird situation, we’ll figure that out one day.”
She continued,
“But, his survival of that and bouncing right back and going right to his convention is being conveyed in the media world as a sign of strength. This current president of the United States is 81-years-old and has Covid. Should he be fine in a couple of days, doesn’t that convey the exact same thing? That he’s strong enough – older than Trump – to have gotten something that really used to be fatal to people his age. So, if he does fine out of it and comes back and is able to do rallies, isn’t that exactly the same?”
“It should,” replied Psaki.
One X user pointed out that even Psaki appeared to be shocked by Reid’s ridiculous comparison.

Reid also posted a video to social media this week questioning whether Trump was really hit in the ear by a bullet and claiming Secret Service allowed him to pose for a photo-op when he raised his fist in the air.
Joy Reid of MSNBC is now suggesting that Donald Trump was never hit by a bullet, and that his campaign and the Secret Service colluded to kill two people in a fake assassination attempt just so Trump could have a photo op.
Outrageous. Insane. Defamatory.
NBC must take Reid off… pic.twitter.com/OLXz08fbE9

At this point the establishment media is simply trying to prop up the senile puppet that is Joe Biden until their Democrat Party masters deliver their next marching orders.
