Megyn Kelly responds to Joy Reid’s cognitive dissonance on Trump

Conservative journalist Megyn Kelly made headlines once again after sharply responding to MSNBC host Joy Reid, who recently cast doubt on the assassination attempt against Donald Trump. In a discussion on Katie Phang’s podcast, Reid suggested that the official story surrounding the shooting was questionable, even mocking the visible wound on the former president’s ear.

Reid sarcastically claimed that Trump must have had “magical doctors” who somehow made his ear grow back. She mocked images showing Trump wearing a bandage at one point and none the next. She further argued that mainstream media failed to demand clear medical records, implying that the silence stemmed from a supposed “fear” of Trump.

Her remarks not only angered conservatives but also drew a strong response from Megyn Kelly. On her show, Kelly highlighted the incoherence of Reid’s argument and denounced what she called a blatant case of cognitive dissonance within the left-wing media. Kelly reminded viewers that both the FBI and Trump’s doctors officially confirmed that the former president had been struck by a bullet in the ear. “Joe Biden’s FBI said Trump was hit by a bullet. What more do they need?” she asked.

Kelly added that Trump’s physician provided a straightforward medical report explaining the wound and treatment. In her view, MSNBC’s refusal to accept the facts was not about truth-seeking but rather about downplaying an event that underscored Trump’s vulnerability while simultaneously strengthening his image of resilience. “They can’t accept reality because that moment was too heroic for Donald Trump,” Kelly insisted.

The contrast in narratives could not be sharper. While Reid attempted to sow doubts and veer into conspiracy-like territory, Kelly defended the transparency of available information and criticized mainstream media’s bias. She emphasized that the shooting was not a rumor circulating online but a confirmed event validated by federal authorities, photos, and witness accounts.

For conservatives, Reid’s comments highlight the progressive media’s inability to acknowledge when Trump faces real dangers. Instead of condemning political violence, they resort to ridicule and skepticism. Critics argue that this not only undermines journalistic credibility but also weakens public trust in national security reporting.

Kelly concluded her remarks by stating that left-wing outlets prefer crafting narratives that suit their agenda rather than accepting inconvenient facts. According to her, Reid’s reaction is not an isolated case but part of a broader trend where mainstream media acts as a political megaphone. Her rebuttal, backed by official evidence, directly challenges MSNBC and Reid’s narrative.

In a highly polarized climate, this clash makes it clear that Trump’s assassination attempt will remain both a political and media battleground. Meanwhile, Trump’s supporters see him not only as a target of political violence but also as a symbol of strength and determination.
