MSNBC’s Joy Reid suggested Joe Biden recovering from COVID-19 should be viewed as “exactly the same” as Trump surviving an assassination attempt.

Yes, really.

The level of idiocy in the mainstream media knows no bounds.

Reid’s comments came during the network’s coverage of the Republican National Convention.

“These two men are both elderly. 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. Weird situation, we’ll figure that out one day,” Reid said.

“But his survival of that and bouncing right back and going to his convention is being conveyed in the media world as a sign of strength,” she continued.

“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?” she added.

“That he’s strong enough, older than Trump, to have gotten something that used to really be fatal to people his age. So, if he does fine out of it and comes back and is able to do rallies, isn’t that exactly the same?” she asked.

“I mean it’s not exactly the same, it’s not the same incident, it’s an elderly man coming through out of an illness,” she said.

“There is no bottom to the depths of this woman’s television idiocy,” Charlie Kirk commented.

“Yes, Joy Reid and Jen Psaki, Biden surviving COVID is *exactly* as heroic and inspiring as Trump surviving an assassination attempt,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said.

Fox News reports:

The White House announced on Wednesday that Biden contracted COVID-19 and will self-isolate in Delaware.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the president was “vaccinated and boosted” and was experiencing mild symptoms.

Reid said Biden contracting COVID is an opportunity for him to show how to be responsible.

“And it’s also, a quite interesting opportunity for President Biden to also show being responsible. I assume he’s going to put a mask on when he gets inside Air Force One and not spread COVID around. But also to remind people of what hell we went through with COVID because of Donald Trump,” Reid said. “Here is a great messaging opportunity for President Biden to bring out the tape and remind people of how many people died; a million people are no longer with us. Peoples’ grandmas were dying alone with their iPad. A great opportunity and messaging opportunity should the White House choose to take it.”

From the New York Post:

Reid has been a consistent critic of Trump and also received some blowback for comments she made about the assassination attempt and political violence on Monday — seeming to suggest that Trump brought the shooting on himself with violent rhetoric of his own.

She described an incident with men “pacing” and acting “menacing” during the 2016 RNC in Cleveland, Ohio, a moment Reid said was the only time she was scared doing her job, according to Fox News.

“The idea of political violence that we’ve been nursing really since then, is so dangerous,” she said. “It’s so dangerous that you cannot avoid the consequences of it, even if you’re one of the people promoting it.”

Biden was in Las Vegas to deliver a speech to a Latino advocacy group, but quickly headed to Air Force One for a trip back to his Delaware vacation home upon learning of the diagnosis.
