Joy Reid’s descent into madness has been well-chronicled on MSNBC, but her latest comments suggesting the assassination attempt against Donald Trump was staged should be the final straw that earns her a pink slip from the network.

Reid, aside from lacking talent outright, is now a danger to the public discourse due to her lead role as a BlueAnon conspiracy theorist.
Earlier in the week, she accused Trump of using the attempt on his life as a “photo op.”
“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,” she declared.
Yes, of course. Because it seems likely that a man who just had his head nearly blown off thoughtfully crafted a plan to gather the Secret Service around him in the hopes that a photographer was snapping away.
Reid then tried to convince her followers that the GOP candidate didn’t actually get shot.
“I have many questions! Like where are the medical reports? What caused Trump’s injury and what was the injury? Sheapnel? [sic] Glass? A bullet?” she wrote on Threads.
The main question here is: How can one person be that dumb and still be employed at a major news network? If you could somehow harness the energy coming from Joy’s brainwaves, you might – MIGHT – be able to light a small birthday candle.
Reid’s conspiracy theory, of course, has been debunked by left-wing fact-checker Snopes. Why let a little thing like the truth get in the way of reporting at MSNBC?
Reid then tripled down on the insanity. Days after the “Maybe he didn’t get hit with a bullet” buffoonery was debunked, she reiterated it and suggested the entire assassination attempt was staged.
“When it comes to what happened on Saturday, with former President Donald Trump, this assassination attempt, we know almost nothing about his medical condition,” she said.

“How come no one else has any information about this wound? We still don’t know for sure whether Donald Trump was hit by a bullet, whether he was hit by glass fragments, whether he was hit by shrapnel, we don’t have those details,” she falsely contends.
“We know almost nothing! Why? Why don’t we know that much?”
Volumes could be written about the things Joy Reid doesn’t know.
It isn’t that she’s been able to hide her obvious hysteria, and it’s suddenly just making an appearance with this coverage of the assassination attempt.
But the level it is reaching — the absolute delusion, the wide-eyed neurosis on full display – requires a colleague at that network to step in. Imagine being the family of Corey Comperatore, the retired volunteer fire chief who was killed in the assassination attempt, having to listen to this woman suggest the shooting was staged.
Alex Jones suffered for spreading the same tin-foil hat-level conspiracy theories that Reid is now espousing.
Reid has a long, long history of lunacy. Check out this recent video of her commentary on the Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, in which she insists Joe Biden’s cognitive decline does not matter so long as they get Trump.
She invokes a Waffle House and a Best Western for absolutely no reason before declaring that Biden “could roll around in a wheelchair” for all she cares, so long as Trump doesn’t get back in the White House.
Hmm. That’s the kind of insistence – that Trump must be stopped at all costs – that leads to violence.

Where is somebody at MSNBC to come along and say, “Look, Joy, we can’t have you on the airwaves saying things that prove you’re a weapons-grade dolt, okay? It reflects poorly on our profession. Not to mention, your incendiary lies are going to get somebody killed. If you don’t stop, we’re pulling the plug.”
Reid also has a long history of fireable offenses. Anybody recall those bigoted, homophobic blog posts, which she claims were posted by hackers?
The FBI was supposed to look into that. That crack staff of Barney Fife’s will probably solve the case right around the same time they find the J6 pipe bomber or the cocaine addict in the White House.
The point is that Joy Reid has never been held accountable by anybody at MSNBC. It’s well past time they took action here.
They can’t continue to turn a blind eye. Not when the temperature in the country needs to be lowered. The only thing Joy Reid is currently lowering is the collective IQ of the people who watch her.
