Joy Reid Claims ‘The Violence Is Coming’ From MAGA When Trump Was Nearly Assassinated Twice

MSNBC host Joy Reid claimed Monday evening that supporters of former President Donald Trump were responsible for violence a day after an apparent second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

A Secret Service agent fired shots at Ryan Wesley Routh, who was allegedly lurking near Trump International Golf Club while the former president was playing a round of golf Sunday, two months after Trump was shot and slightly wounded in the right ear while giving a speech at a July 13 campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Reid claimed that a series of events proved that the threat of violence came from Trump supporters.

“The irony of it is that the violence, the actual violence we’re seeing comes much more disproportionately from MAGA themselves, whether it’s January 6th, whether it’s them threatening election workers,” Reid told David Rothkopf. “Whether it’s the bomb threats coming into schools in Springfield. The violence is coming from them, from their own supporters, yet they try to portray Haitian immigrants as the people to fear.”
