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 perhaps a beneficiant description.
Reid took information of President Biden testing optimistic for COVID to counsel that his restoration could be equally spectacular to Trump getting again up after being shot.
“Should he (Biden) be fine in a couple of days, doesn’t that convey exactly the same thing?” she requested a panel together with former White Home Press Secretary Jen Psaki.
There are two methods to reply that: 1) “No.” And a pair of) “No, what drug are you on?”
As a substitute, Psaki agreed.
Pleasure Reid Suggests Trump Stood Up To Get ‘Photo Op’ After Being Shot
We’ve grown moderately accustomed to Pleasure Reid’s inane and unintelligent commentary, however this one made us do a double-take. It’s off-the-charts idiotic.
Have 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 considered “as a sign of strength.” She suggests Biden recovering from COVID must be celebrated the identical approach: “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
You possibly can’t make these things up. I’m going to undergo every assertion one after the other.
“These two men are both elderly,” Reid mentioned. “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.”
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.
“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,” she added.
It’s not a media factor. Actuality and a functioning set of eyes will let you know that Trump dealt with himself with energy and braveness along with his response to the assassination try.
“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 exactly the same thing?” Reid continued. “That he is strong enough, older than Trump, to have gotten something that really used to be fatal to people his age?”
These claims are super-weird whenever you recall that Pleasure Reid mocked Trump when he recovered from COVID as “trying to look like a tough guy”. And that was after she accused him of faking COVID to get out of a debate with Biden.
“So if he (Biden) does fine out of it and comes back and is able to do rallies isn’t that exactly the same?” Reid requested.
“It should!” Psaki agreed.
See above – No. Or no, and what drug are you on?
MSNBC Was Frightened About ‘Inappropriate’ Takes
Keep in mind, this is identical community that within the fast aftermath of the assassination try pulled their flagship morning present as a result of they had been apprehensive one of many friends would possibly say one thing silly.
And right here you could have 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 photograph of a defiant Trump pumping his fist and urging the group to “fight”, 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 just lately advised Axios that the picture must be banned. The unnamed journo mentioned “it’s dangerous for media organizations to keep sharing that photo despite how good it is.”
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.
