Joy Reid worries assassination attempt will make media more sympathetic to 'greatest purveyor and promoter of political violence' Donald Trump

MSNBC's Joy Reid said that she fears that Donald Trump, who she claimed is the "greatest purveyor and promoter of political violence" since Alabama Governor George Wallace, will be seen as a victim in the media after he was nearly killed by Thomas Matthew Crooks in an assassination attempt.

Reid said that others were worried that the media "won't be the guardians of memory" in order to prevent Donald Trump from rewriting “himself as both the hero and a victim." Reid was speaking to other panelists on MSNBC when she made the comments to Jen Psaki as well as Rachel Maddow.
