Far-left podcaster Joy Reid speculated on Monday that the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner shooting<\/a> over the weekend could have been staged, tying it to President Donald Trump\u2019s desire for a White House ballroom.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s just odd things that keep happening around Trump,” Reid said on her podcast, “The Joy Reid Show” as she recalled the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt<\/a>. “And we know that Viktor Orban allegedly, allegedly, according to Washington Post\u2019s reporting, there was a plot by the Russians to stage an assassination, fake assassination for Orban.”<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, an assailant rushed a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton Saturday night during the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, and a\u00a0Secret Service officer was shot<\/a>. The alleged gunman, Cole Allen, was apprehended and has been charged with multiple felonies. The gunfire led to Trump and the Cabinet officials at the dinner being evacuated, and the dinner being rescheduled.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post reported<\/a> in March, “To aid Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a friend of Russia, in his election, operatives proposed ‘the Gamechanger’ \u2014 a staged assassination attempt to stir supporters.”<\/p>\n

Reid also questioned<\/a> the surveillance at the dinner, saying how the event played out didn’t “make sense.”<\/p>\n

“That surveillance that we have, none of it worked in that case? He just basically walks in with multiple guns and knives? It doesn’t make sense,” Reid said.<\/p>\n

The podcaster noted that things seemed “too perfect,” and said the president was getting re-victimized.<\/p>\n

“So all of this thrown in together, you\u2019re like, when something seems too perfect, people, they don\u2019t \u2014 they don\u2019t believe in it. And Donald Trump now again gets victimized by an alleged would-be assassin in front of the perfect witnesses \u2014 the press,” Reid said.<\/p>\n

Reid noted that a former MAGA influencer suggested there appeared to have been a coordinated influencer campaign to tell people to advocate for the White House ballroom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Reid spoke to a guest on the show, she also noted that, “People do not believe<\/a> this assassination attempt story, and I think it’s partly because Donald Trump has not earned, he’s not really earned like our belief, right? But it’s also because things keep happening that feel opportune, and he’s like, \u2018Oh, now I need the ballroom.\u2019”<\/p>\n

When reached for comment by Fox News Digital<\/a>, White House spokesman Davis Ingle replied, “There\u2019s a reason Joy Reid\u2019s show got cancelled \u2014 her takes were too dumb even for MSDNC. Anyone who thinks President Trump staged his own assassination attempts to build a ballroom at the White House is a complete moron.”<\/p>\n

MSNBC \u2014 since renamed MS NOW \u2014 canceled Reid\u2019s program<\/a> “The ReidOut” as part of a major network shakeup in Feb. 2025.<\/p>\n

Reid has long been known for pushing conspiracy theories<\/a>. She famously charged in 2018 that her former blog was hacked when homophobic posts resurfaced<\/a>, although she later admitted she had no proof of the claim.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
