Megyn Kelly Wrecks Joy Reid Over Comments on Trump Assassination Attempt [WATCH]

Conservative journalist Megyn Kelly is pushing back against MSNBC host Joy Reid after Reid questioned the official account of the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, as reported by Gateway Hispanic.

Reid made her remarks during an appearance on Katie Phang’s podcast, where she mocked the details of Trump’s injury, including images that showed him at one point with a bandage over his ear and later without one.

She sarcastically suggested Trump must have had “magical doctors” who made his ear “grow back” and criticized mainstream outlets for not demanding more medical records, implying they avoided scrutiny because of “fear” of Trump.

The comments sparked strong criticism from conservatives, including Kelly, who addressed the issue on her own program. She called Reid’s statements a clear case of cognitive dissonance and pointed to official records that confirmed Trump had been struck in the ear.

“Joe Biden’s FBI said Trump was hit by a bullet. What more do they need?” Kelly said. She also cited Trump’s physician, who issued a report explaining the wound and treatment following the shooting.

Kelly argued that Reid and others in the media are unwilling to accept the facts because they highlight Trump’s resilience. “They can’t accept reality because that moment was too heroic for Donald Trump,” Kelly said.

The sharp contrast between Reid’s skepticism and Kelly’s defense underscores broader partisan divides in how media outlets treat the attempt on Trump’s life.

While federal authorities, photos, and witness accounts verified the incident, Reid implied that unanswered questions remained, casting doubt on the official explanation.

For Kelly and others, Reid’s reaction illustrates how progressive media avoid condemning political violence when Trump is the target, choosing instead to undermine the event with ridicule.

Critics say such responses erode journalistic credibility and damage public trust in media reporting on national security issues.

Kelly concluded that this episode reflects a wider pattern among left-leaning outlets, where political narratives often outweigh verified facts. By pointing directly to evidence from both the FBI and Trump’s medical team, she challenged MSNBC and Reid’s framing of the event.

The exchange highlights how the July shooting, already a major moment in Trump’s presidency, continues to serve as both a political flashpoint and a media battleground.

For Trump’s supporters, the incident reinforced his role not just as a political leader under attack but as a symbol of resilience in the face of danger.
