Joy Reid Casts Doubt on 2024 Trump Rally Shooting in Interview With Katie Phang

Officials have documented that a bullet struck the president’s right ear.

Overview

  • Reid said Trump had “magical doctors” and claimed there are no accessible medical records for what she called an “alleged” assassination attempt.
  • The comments came during an interview on Katie Phang’s YouTube channel, where Phang also questioned the absence of investigative records.
  • Trump’s former physician Ronny Jackson previously reported a gunshot wound to the right ear from a high-powered rifle, describing a two-centimeter wound with initial heavy bleeding and ongoing dressing needs.
  • Investigators identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, who fired from a rooftop roughly 400 feet away, injuring attendees and killing former volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore.
  • Conservative outlets including Townhall, the Daily Caller, and Fox News highlighted and criticized Reid’s remarks, noting she had raised similar doubts in a 2024 Threads post.
