MSNBC's Joy Reid blames MAGA Republicans for 'actual violence' in light of Trump assassination attempt
One day after another assassination attempt against former President Trump, MSNBC’s Joy Reid accused Republicans of being the ones guilty of "actual violence."
Reid opened her show attacking Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance for stoking "literal terrorism" by spreading unverified allegations about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio.
When speaking with David Rothkopf from the Daily Beast, she further argued how it was MAGA Republicans who instigated more violence, citing multiple bomb threats against Springfield in recent days.
"The irony of it is the actual violence we’re seeing comes much more disproportionately from MAGA themselves, whether it’s January 6, whether it’s them threatening election workers, whether it’s the bomb threats coming in to schools in Springfield. The violence is coming from them, from their own supporters, yet they try to portray Haitian immigrants as the people to fear," Reid said.

Hours before the show, however, Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine revealed at a news conference that at least 33 bomb threats have been found to be hoaxes coming from overseas.
"I want to say to the parents in Springfield, these threats have all been hoaxes. None of them have panned out. We have people, unfortunately overseas, who are taking these actions. Some of them are coming from one particular country. We think that this is one more opportunity to mess with the United States, and they're continuing to do that," DeWine said. "We cannot let the bad guys win. Our schools must remain open."
Fox News Digital reached out to MSNBC for a comment but did not immediately receive a response.
