MSNBC host Joy Reid suggested during a Wednesday broadcast that President Joe Biden surviving another bout of COVID would telegraph just as much strength as former President Donald Trump raising his fist, telling his supporters to “fight” just seconds after he had been shot.
Reid appeared to lament the fact that Trump had gotten an iconic photo out of the assassination attempt, but then claimed that if people saw his quick return to the campaign trail — and the Republican National Convention (RNC) — as a show of strength, they should view it the same way if Biden were to make a quick recovery after announcing hours earlier that he had COVID.

Joy Reid and Jen Psaki just claimed that Biden having COVID is “exactly the same” as Trump surviving an assassination attempt and should be lauded the same way.
