Former MSNBC host and political commentator Joy Reid has continued to question the details and circumstances surrounding the 2024 assassination attempt against President Donald Trump, expressing doubts about the official narrative and the media’s coverage of the incident. During a recent appearance on former colleague Katie Phang’s YouTube channel, Reid criticized the mainstream media for not demanding medical records from Trump and for allowing the former president to remain in the public eye without scrutiny. She described the media as being “terrified” of Trump, suggesting that the lack of investigation into the incident has left the public in the dark about the nature of the attack and any possible injuries to the former president.
Reid raised several unanswered questions about the attack, including whether Trump was actually shot and the nature of the injury. She speculated that the incident might have involved glass rather than a bullet, citing the absence of medical records and the lack of transparency from authorities. She also questioned the positioning of the individuals who were allegedly shot, the time Trump was allowed to stand and pose for photos, and the presence of the suspect on the roof of the building while local police were inside. These points, she argued, suggest a lack of thorough investigation and a potential cover-up.
Reid’s comments come amid a broader media debate over the coverage of Trump’s health and the circumstances of the shooting. Her remarks have drawn attention from both supporters and critics, with some accusing her of spreading conspiracy theories and others defending her right to question the official narrative. Despite the controversy, Reid has not stopped her inquiries, maintaining that the media’s reluctance to press for answers has allowed confusion and speculation to dominate the discussion. Her role in the conversation has highlighted the complex relationship between the media, political figures, and public trust in the face of high-profile incidents like the assassination attempt.
