“It’s fine!” Reid exclaimed. “I remember being in mainstream media where we both used to work, saying, ‘Isn’t it odd that we’ve never asked for his medical records?’ And I got in trouble for that. So, you’re not allowed to even say, ‘Isn’t that weird?’”
Reid’s conspiracy-style rant didn’t stop there. She argued that Americans supposedly know more about assassination attempts on Gerald Ford and William McKinley than they do about the man who tried to kill Trump, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
“We’re getting nothing. And the mainstream media isn’t demanding his medical records. They’re not demanding anything. They’re terrified of this man,” Reid claimed, according to Fox News.
This isn’t the first time Reid has pushed this bizarre narrative. Back in 2024, she used Threads to argue that Trump may not have been shot at all. Instead, she speculated that the injury came from his teleprompter.
“I have many questions! Like where are the medical reports? What caused Trump’s injury and what was the injury? Shrapnel? [sic] Glass? A bullet? Where were the three attendees who were shot seated or standing relative to Trump? Why was Trump allowed to stand and pose for photos, fist pumping for nearly ten seconds while asking about his shoe when there could easily have been additional shooters?” Reid wrote.
WATCH:
She even questioned how the gunman accessed the rooftop where the attack originated: “How did the gunman manage to get on the roof of the building WHERE THE LOCAL POLICE WERE LITERALLY INSIDE?”
Of course, her questions conveniently ignore the obvious facts: Trump was grazed by a bullet that killed one rally attendee and injured two others. The Secret Service confirmed the shooter, Crooks, was armed with an AR-15-style rifle. And the entire world saw Trump’s bloodied face as he raised his fist to supporters in defiance.
But for Joy Reid and her allies, facts don’t matter. The former cable host is more interested in spinning wild theories than acknowledging the reality of what happened on that Pennsylvania rooftop.
Her comments show just how far the left is willing to go in order to discredit Trump—even when it means denying the reality of an assassination attempt that nearly changed history.
