Joy Reid on Wednesday and another person from MSNBC, Michael Steele. The origin (according to Snopes) is a Tweet citing "a Pennsylvania police source" expressing the opinion that it was glass from a teleprompter.Here's a Tweet From an NBC reporter repeating his colleague's reporting. I mean, we all knew this. There were no broken teleprompters, and we've seen the path of the bullets thanks to those amazing photos by that NY Times photographer, who actually captured one passing directly behind Trump. His head was turned, as opposed to the initial reporting that likely assumed it was glass because if he was facing forward and took an ear shot, he'd be dead.
Of course those posts were quickly deleted, but the rumor lived on until now. I'm sure the SS would have loved for it to have been glass though, as it would take little bit of the sting off of their failure. Maybe.
Joy Reid, on Wednesday, July 17th, and another person from MSNBC, Michael Steele, questioned whether it was really a bullet that inflicted the injury to the ear of Mr. Trump.
Not sure if the pictures will attach properly, but in the images I've attempted to attach, the circle on the right shows what appears to be the first point of impact/entry wound and just how close the projectile came to finding its intended destination.
Pictures are from Snopes.
Information about the Tweet and MSNBC discussion is from Fox News and Joy Reid's instagram "threads" page.

I have many questions! Like where are the medical reports? What caused Trump’s injury and what was the injury? Sheapnel? Glass? A bullet? Where were the three attendees who were shot seated or standing relative to Trump? Why was Trump allowed to stand and pose for photos, fist pumping for...
