Joy Reid suggest Biden recovering from COVID is 'exactly the same thing' as Trump surviving an assassination

MSNBC host Joy Reid suggested on Wednesday that President Biden recovering from COVID-19 is a "sign of strength" similar to former President Trump surviving an assassination attempt.

"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 during MSNBC's live coverage of the Republican National Convention.

Reid added that the media is portraying Trump surviving the assassination attempt and shortly returning to the campaign by appearing at his party's convention as a "sign of strength."

"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 is able to do rallies, isn't that exactly the same?," Reid said.

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
