MSNBC star Joy Reid pumps more conspiracy theories about Trump assassination attempt: ‘That seems really unusual… it’s weird’

MSNBC’s Joy Reid took to X to share another round of conspiracies about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump – including that he may not have even been shot at all. 

The liberal anchor, 55, listed a number of things she finds ‘weird’ about the shocking episode in Butler, Pennsylvania, and appeared to imply that it was a staged event. 

‘We still don’t know for sure whether Donald Trump was hit by a bullet,’ she began. ‘We know almost nothing.’ 

Although Reid appeared to float some questions that officials have already answered, her remarks come amid mounting pressure on the Secret Service to explain the disastrous security slip that allowed the shooting to occur. 

Reid shared her speculation to social media shortly after she raised eyebrows in a broadcast from the Republican National Convention, as news broke that President Biden tested positive for Covid. 

She compared Biden recovering from the virus in ‘a couple of days’ to Trump standing up and pumping his fist seconds after being shot, feeling they ‘convey the exactly the same thing.’ 

After also branding the assassination attempt a ‘photo op’ in the broadcast, Reid took a similar tune in her X clip as she appeared to speculate that Trump’s Secret Service agents paused to allow Trump to ‘pose’ for an iconic picture. 

‘We don’t know why, for nine full seconds, Donald Trump was allowed to stand back up during an active shooting,’ Reid said.

FALSE FLAG? CNN Runs Iranian ‘Plot’ to Kill Trump ‘Exclusive’ After Vance’s Call for War

CNN ran an exclusive story on Tuesday claiming that “U.S. authorities obtained intelligence from a human source in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump.”

Citing “multiple people briefed on the matter,” the report said there is no evidence that the deceased gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks was connected to the plot.

the news outlet tried to stand up its flimsy story by stating that Iran “has repeatedly vowed revenge for the U.S. military’s killing of Qasem Soleimani.”

The timing of the report could not have been any better for Trump and his pro-Israel campaign.

Sen. J.D. Vance, Donald Trump’s VP pick, made it his top priority to call for war with Iran and said the U.S. needs to stop with little pinpricks against Iran, and “punch Iran hard.”

CNN Host Has Hissy Fit As Former Army Sniper Suggests Trump Security Failure “Intentional”

GOP Congressman Cory Mills, a former Army sniper, suggested Tuesday that the security failures during the Trump rally last Saturday could have been intentional as a means of allowing him to be murdered.

Mills made the comments during a CNN interview, angering the host Kate Bolduan.

Mills, a former member of the 82nd Airborne Division and Joint Special Operations Command, argued that the failures were so basic that it is almost inconceivable that they were not intentionally allowed to happen.

“You know, it almost seems to me, I think that the investigation is necessary at this point within Congress, not just the FBI, not just others,” MIlls stated, adding “if you looked at the escalations and how they are trying to approach [Trump]. Let’s just say that it was like, okay, first we want to censor and silence you, then we want to indict and imprison you, now we are attempting to kill you.”

Bolduan then interjected, “Whoa whoa whoa, let’s slow down! I’m hearing two things from you. I don’t want to jump ahead of things, but I’m also hearing you jumping ahead of things.”

Mills responded, “Well, actually, I’m just looking at all the different possible capabilities. One of the things as a military member, one of the things as a person who has run in the special operations communities before, one of the people who’s actually done this is that you look at all the potential analysis, right?”

Bolduan again interupted and ordered Mills to “Dial it back,” bizarrely adding “Do not blame this on Joe Biden.”

“Well, actually, I didn’t say Joe Biden,” he responded.

“Who’s the ‘they,’ then? Let’s be very specific,” the confused host continued.

“That’s what the investigation has to do,” Mills replied, adding “Was it local law enforcement that made the mistakes, or was there something to it? Were there other types of things that we need to be analyzing or looking at, providing analysis?”

Bolduan, sounding annoyed, then asked Mills “Is it not dangerous, it is not reckless to even be throwing around the word ‘intentionally’?”

CNN Report Claims Secret Service Ramped Up Security Based on Intel of Iran Plot Against Trump

CNN claimed on Tuesday that the US Secret Service ramped up security around Donald Trump in recent weeks based on intelligence from a single “human source” that Iran was plotting to assassinate the former president, accusations Tehran rejected as “unsubstantiated and malicious.”

The report offered no evidence for the claim and only cited unnamed people “briefed on the matter.” They said there was no indication that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old who tried to assassinate Trump over the weekend, had any connection to the alleged plot.

The idea that the Secret Service increased security around Trump has been contested since Crooks was able to get off multiple shots from a nearby rooftop that wasn’t secured.

The report connected the alleged Iranian plot to Trump ordering the assassination of Gen. Qasem Soleimani, who headed Iran’s Quds Force, a branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

In response to the report, Iran’s mission to the UN said, “These accusations are unsubstantiated and malicious. From the perspective of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Trump is a criminal who must be prosecuted and punished in a court of law for ordering the assassination of General Soleimani. Iran has chosen the legal path to bring him to justice.”

‘Disgusting’: ABC Anchor’s Blames Candidate’s ‘Violent Rhetoric’ for Near-Assassination of Trump

Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on Saturday afternoon. 

The incident, which saw a bullet miss Trump by mere inches, has sparked intense debate and controversy, particularly following comments made by ABC News veteran anchor George Stephanopoulos on Sunday’s episode of “This Week.”

Stephanopoulos, discussing the political climate with chief global affairs anchor Martha Raddatz, made the controversial claim that Trump himself had contributed to the “violent rhetoric” that led to the assassination attempt. 

This statement, coming less than 24 hours after the near-fatal incident, has ignited a firestorm of criticism from viewers and political commentators alike.

The discussion began with Raddatz addressing claims suggesting President Joe Biden’s involvement in the attack.

Major Media Outlets Refuse To Call Attack On Trump’s Life An Assassination Attempt

Following the leftist media’s initial pathetically biased reactions to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, Sunday headlines continue to roll out with the same misleading propaganda.

While video, photo, and eyewitness accounts all point to the same conclusion — that this was an attempted assassination — several large corporate media outlets have peddled a joint narrative that characterizes the events at Saturday’s Pennsylvania rally as a “shooting” or an “attack” and not an assassination.

While it is true that shootings are frightening situations for anyone to experience, the choice to describe the events as a “shooting” or an “attack” compared to an “attempted assassination” is telling. Only four presidents have been assassinated, and, including Trump, three former or sitting presidents have been injured in assassination attempts. Any assassination of a president, attempted or fatal, is a nation-shaking event with potentially dire consequences, and the media’s tactic to minimize or breeze over the brutal assault on Trump’s life is purposeful.

The recent cover of Time Magazine included the instantly iconic picture of Trump pumping his fist in the air with the American flag flying behind him. The headline reads, “Attack on Trump” with no mention of an attempted assassination. Below the headline, it says, “Former president survives shooting with nation on edge.”

The Left Spent Years Running An ‘Assassination Prep’ Campaign

It was the shot heard round the world. A sound no one wanted to hear but one that was the culmination of the moral rot that has infested our political left and corporate left-wing media. The assassination attempt on Donald Trump was an act of depraved wickedness — but not everyone sees it that way because corporate media spent months desensitizing Americans to the possibility of such an egregious attempt.

For years the left has smeared Trump and his supporters as “threats to democracy.” Pundits portrayed Trump as a man akin to Adolf Hitler. But these deliberate and malicious misrepresentations of Trump were part of the left’s plan to prep the public for an assassination attempt against Trump. As Federalist Co-Founder and CEO Sean Davis explained back in December, this type of rhetoric is “assassination prep by the corrupt regime.”

“It is an obvious information operation meant to justify and even incite the most extreme measures, up to and including unconscionable violence. They will stop at nothing to retain power.”

Last November, The Washington Post’s Opinion Editor-at-Large Robert Kagan called a “Trump dictatorship … increasingly inevitable.”

“Barring some miracle, Trump will soon be the presumptive Republican nominee for president,” Kagan wrote. “When that happens, there will be a swift and dramatic shift in the political power dynamic, in his favor.” Kagan went on to compare Trump and his supporters to Hitlerites in Nazi Germany before once again posing the ominous question: “Can Trump win the election? The answer, unless something radical and unforeseen happens, is: Of course he can.” Kagan concluded that the “odds are … pretty good” that Trump would become a dictator.

“The Trump administration will be filled with people who will not need explicit instruction from Trump, any more than Hitler’s local Gauleiters needed instruction.”

Dems ‘Were Just Fine’ with Biden as Long as They Believed They Were Winning

Friday, during an appearance on Mobile, AL radio’s FM Talk 106.5, Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) said President Joe Biden’s decline reflected the decline in the country, adding that the nation’s adversaries know Biden is weak.

Britt also reacted to the uproar among Democrats about Biden as their party’s standard-bearer.

According to Alabama’s junior U.S. Senator, Democrats did not have a problem with Biden’s apparent decline until he fell behind in polling following last month’s presidential debate.

“And I don’t think we have to wonder what’s going on,” she said. “I think it is clear that our commander-in-chief is not in command. And I think it is also clear that not only is President Biden in decline, but he has put our country in decline as well. And each and every time that he stands up and shows the vulnerability, shows his weakness, shows his inability to truly lead — not only is that a sad day for America, but it is a day that makes us weaker and more vulnerable abroad as well. And I continue to look at this and think all of these Democrats are trying to decide what they’re going to do for the next four years because, remember, they were just fine with him serving in this capacity as long as they believed they were winning. So they were willing to put power above what they knew to be best for the nation. And now we are obviously getting a window into all of this as Americans as to what so many of them have known for so long.”

We were ‘deceived and gaslit for years’, all in the name of ‘democracy’; then ‘poof’, it collapsed overnight

The Editor at Large for the Wall Street Journal, Gerry Baker, says: ‘We’ve been “gaslit’ and deceived” – for years – “all in the name of ‘democracy’”. That deceit “collapsed” with the Presidential debate, Thursday’.

Until the world saw the truth … [against] the ‘misinformation’ … the fiction of Mr. Biden’s competence … suggests they [the Democrats] evidently thought they could get away with promoting it. [Yet] by perpetuating that fiction they were also revealing their contempt for the voters and for democracy itself.

Baker continues:

Biden succeeded because he made toeing the party line his life’s work. Like all politicians whose egos dwarf their talents, he ascended the greasy pole by slavishly following his party wherever it led … Finally—in the ultimate act of partisan servility, he became Barack Obama’s vice president, the summit of achievement for those incapable, yet loyal: the apex position for the consummate ‘yes man’.

But then, just as he was ready to drift into a comfortable and well-deserved obscurity, his party needed a front man … They sought a loyal and reliable figurehead, a flag of convenience, under which they could sail the progressive vessel into the deepest reaches of American life — on a mission to advance statism, climate extremism, and self-lacerating wokery. There was no more loyal and convenient vehicle than Joe.

If so, then who actually has been ‘pulling America’s strings’ these past years?

‘You [the Democratic machine] don’t get to deceive, dissemble and gaslight us for years about how this man was both brilliantly competent at the job and a healing force for national unity – and now tell us, when your deception is uncovered, that it’s ‘bedtime for Bonzo’ – thanks for your service, and let’s move on’, Baker warns.

[Now] it is going horribly wrong. Much of his party has no use for him anymore … in a remarkably cynical act of bait-and-switch, [they are trying to] swap him out for someone more useful to their cause. Part of me thinks they shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it. I find myself in the odd position of wanting to root for poor mumbling Joe … It’s tempting to say to the Democratic machine frantically mobilizing against him: You don’t get to do this. You don’t get to deceive, dissemble and gaslight us for years.

Something significant has snapped within ‘the system’. It is always tempting to situate such events in ‘immediate time’, but even Baker seems to allude to a longer cycle of gaslighting and deception – one that only now has suddenly burst into open view.

Such events – though seemingly ephemeral and of the moment – can be portents to deeper structural contradictions moving.

MSNBC’s Resident Wacko Joy Reid Goes on Another Unhinged Rant Against White People, Men and Christians

MSNBC’s resident wacko and DEI hire, Joy Reid’s severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) continues to send her into a whirlpool of crazy.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Reid shared a TikTok declaring brazenly she would vote for Joe Biden even if he were in a coma, as long as it meant keeping Donald Trump, whom she referred to as “Hitler,” out of the White House.

“Y’all just tell me who the nominee is, just let me know when you guys are finished fighting amongst yourselves, who I got to vote for to keep Hitler out of the White House. Who I got to vote for to keep Hitler out of the White House,” Reid said.

Unable to keep her crazy off of social media, Reid had another recent breakdown where she went on another rant against Whites, men, and Christians.

“Let’s not be trying to play games with these kinds of small things to pull us into a direction.  All that matters in this election, and I genuinely mean this, all that matters in the election, the only thing that matters in this election, keep Donald Trump and Project 2025 out of power.”

“Keeping that insane ideology of White Christian Nationalism and White Supremacy and White male Chrisitan dominance out of power.”

So Reid suggests rejecting “White male Christian dominance” by voting for Joe Biden, a White male Christian?
