MSNBC host Joy Reid on Monday night claimed the violence was perpetrated by supporters of former President Donald Trump, a day after what appeared to be a second assassination attempt on the president.

Secret Service agents opened fire on Ryan Wesley Routh, who was reportedly lurking near the Trump International Golf Club while Trump was playing golf, on Sunday, two months after Trump was shot and slightly wounded in his right ear while speaking at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13. Reid argued that the sequence of events proves the threats of violence came from Trump supporters.

“The irony is that the violence that we're seeing, the actual violence, whether it's what happened on January 6th or the threats against election workers, has come disproportionately from MAGA themselves,” Reid told David Rothkopf. “Whether it's the bomb threats that came to schools in Springfield. The violence is coming from MAGA themselves, and yet they're trying to portray Haitian immigrants as people to be afraid of.”

MSNBC guests and hosts have repeatedly labeled Trump on air as a racist, a threat to democracy, a fascist and even mentally unstable.

Reed was referring to a discussion of the hardships posed by the influx of at least 20,000 Haitian immigrants into the Ohio city of Springfield, where townspeople interviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation said the immigrants have contributed to an increase in traffic accidents and soaring home prices.

Democrats claimed the bomb threats were the result of Republicans debating immigration, but Ohio's Republican governor, Mike DeWine, said at a press conference Monday that state law enforcement officials would conduct daily sweeps of the city's schools that the bomb threats at the Springfield school were a foreign hoax.
