MSNBC character Pleasure Reid went on a rant that may solely objectively be outlined as unhinged, accusing Donald Trump of utilizing the survival of the assassination try on his life as a photograph op.
Unhinged is likely to be a beneficiant description.
Reid took information of President Biden testing constructive for COVID to counsel that his restoration can be equally spectacular to Trump getting again up after being shot.
“Ought to he (Biden) be superb in a few days, doesn’t that convey precisely the identical factor?” she requested a panel together with former White Home Press Secretary Jen Psaki.
There are two methods to reply that: 1) “No.” And a couple of) “No, what drug are you on?”
As a substitute, Psaki agreed.
Pleasure Reid Suggests Trump Stood Up To Get ‘Picture Op’ After Being Shot
We’ve grown somewhat accustomed to Pleasure Reid’s inane and unintelligent commentary, however this one made us do a double-take. It’s off-the-charts idiotic.
Take a look at how she phrases her evaluation. She suggests Trump and Biden are equally aged, claims Trump rising after having his head almost blown off was a photograph op, and proposes that Biden napping for 3 days to beat COVID is simply as admirable.
Reid whines that Trump surviving an assassination try is seen “as an indication of energy.” She suggests Biden recovering from COVID ought to be celebrated the identical approach: “If he does superb…and is ready to do rallies, is not that precisely the identical?”
“It ought to,” Jen Psaki says. pic.twitter.com/P6CS47Q2PX— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 17, 2024
You possibly can’t make these things up. I’m going to undergo every assertion one after the other.
“These two males are each aged,” Reid mentioned. “Donald Trump is an aged man who for no matter purpose was given 9 seconds to take an iconic photo-op throughout an energetic shooter state of affairs.”
No. Simply, no. Bless your little coronary heart, Pleasure. Equating the 2 age-wise simply a few weeks faraway from a debate that clearly confirmed Trump is bodily and cognitively mild years forward of Biden simply doesn’t fly.
“However his survival of that and bouncing proper again and going proper to his conference is being conveyed within the media world as an indication of energy,” she added.
It’s not a media factor. Actuality and a functioning set of eyes will inform you that Trump dealt with himself with energy and braveness along with his response to the assassination try.
“This present president of the US is 81 years previous and has Covid. Ought to he be superb in a few days, doesn’t that convey precisely the identical factor?” Reid continued. “That he’s sturdy sufficient, older than Trump, to have gotten one thing that basically was once deadly to individuals his age?”
These claims are super-weird while you recall that Pleasure Reid mocked Trump when he recovered from COVID as “attempting to appear to be a tricky man”. And that was after she accused him of faking COVID to get out of a debate with Biden.
“So if he (Biden) does superb out of it and comes again and is ready to do rallies isn’t that precisely the identical?” Reid requested.
“It ought to!” Psaki agreed.
See above – No. Or no, and what drug are you on?
MSNBC Was Anxious About ‘Inappropriate’ Takes
Bear in mind, this is identical community that within the rapid aftermath of the assassination try pulled their flagship morning show as a result of they had been fearful one of many company would possibly say one thing silly.
And right here you’ve Pleasure Reid clearly saying one thing silly and Psaki nodding like a bobblehead in settlement. The community brass would possibly need to pull them from protection of the RNC altogether.
Granted, that iconic, historic picture of a defiant Trump pumping his fist and urging the gang to “battle”, blood dripping down his face is absolutely, actually good. It’s already damaged lots of people on the left.
A photograph editor at a serious information outlet recently told Axios that the picture ought to be banned. The unnamed journo mentioned “it’s harmful for media organizations to maintain sharing that picture regardless of how good it’s.”
Yea, it’s fairly good. Legendary even.

Think about what sort of thoughts means that the previous President determined to take a photograph op after coming inside an inch of getting his head blown off on nationwide tv.
