MSNBC has pulled its 'Morning Joe' show off the air following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday night. The decision was reportedly made to avoid the possibility of the show's hosts or guests making inappropriate comments about the incident. Concerns were raised that such remarks could lead to further controversy or potential litigation against the network. Trump, who survived the attempt, commented on the incident, saying, 'I should be dead.' The network opted to continue breaking news coverage of the assassination attempt instead of airing the regular program. The shooter was identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks.
