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.
WATCH:
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.

“Here’s the question that I have on that,” Reid told former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. “These two men are both elderly. Donald Trump is an elderly man who for whatever reason was given nine seconds to take a … iconic photo op during an active shooter situation — weird situation, we’ll figure that out one day.”

“But his survival of that, and bouncing right back and going right to his convention is being conveyed in the media world as a sign of strength,” Reid 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? 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 he rallies, isn’t that exactly the same?”
“It should,” Psaki agreed. “It should.”
