Former MSNBC host and professional crazy person Joy Reid joined former colleague Katie Phang on her YouTube show that partners with the MeidasTouch Network on Tuesday to argue that the news media is not being tough enough when it comes to questions around President Trump’s health. In one specific instance, Reid went deep down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole and claimed Trump was only “supposedly shot,” and she’s just asking questions.

Reid ranted that:

The reality is this is the oldest president we've ever had in our history. His father, I believe, died out of the complications of Alzheimer's. He's showing clear signs that he isn't well. His face looks like it's coming apart. He's got all these bruises all over his hands, which we don't know what that's from. They won't explain it. He's got these magical doctors who claimed that he was shot in the ear, but his ear, I guess, grew back. He had a Dukal bandage on one minute, no bandage the next. We can't get a medical record from this alleged assassination. He was supposedly shot. We have nothing. We've got no—we can’t even ask.
