From Fox News: MSNBC host Joy Reid suggested on-air Monday that former President Trump bore the “consequences” of “promoting” violence during a discussion about the assassination attempt over the weekend.
Reid, who joined MSNBC’s live coverage in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention, made the comment after Rachel Maddow said she hopes a level of “sobriety” will emerge surrounding political violence, calling it “no freaking joke” and “nothing that anybody should play with, ever.” She, too, seemed to imply Trump reaped the whirlwind.
“Violence, among everything else, is very unpredictable. Once it’s part of your political system, you never know which direction it’s going to go,” Maddow said. “Nobody can harness it in one direction only, it doesn’t work that way.”

Joy Reid basically suggests that the attempt on Trump was a what-goes-around-comes-around situation:

Reid also claimed that the media will now allow Trump to “rewrite himself as both a hero and a victim”.
Gaslighting at its finest. This is how insane these people are.
