Political & Social Reaction: Hosts speculate about whether the attack was genuine or potentially staged, reflecting skepticism seen on social media.
- Quote – Dr. Gina: “If it were real...you don’t know if it’s acid...you don’t go running toward the assailant. I’m just not gonna believe she’s so ba that she goes running straight toward the assailant.” (04:10)
