'Disturbing': MS NOW hosts debunk "staged" WHCD shooting conspiracy theories from left and right - The Weekend - MS NOW

Soon after shots rang out at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, conspiracy theories about the shooting being "staged" or a "false flag" started circulating online from both the right and the left.

MS NOW hosts speak out, debunking those claims, with The Weekend's Jonathan Capehart saying, "If you cannot trust what we are telling you, I don’t think that is an issue of journalism; that is an issue of American society. ...What happened last night was real." - Aired on 04/26/2026.
