MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace was slammed over a reprehensible comment Tuesday night saying she wished a 13-year-old boy who survived cancer, who was named an honorary Secret Service agent, doesn’t commit suicide.
Joining Rachel Maddow for coverage of the president’s first joint congressional address of his second term, Wallace initially appeared choked up over cancer survivor DJ Daniel being named an honorary US Secret Service agent by Donald Trump — before going on to make one of the worst comments imaginable.
“This was a lesson in finding one thing that you let yourself feel,” Wallace said, “and I let myself feel joy about DJ and I hope he’s alive for another you know 95 years.”
“And I hope he lives…the life he wants to live. He wants to be a cop. He knows what he wants to do. And maybe when you have childhood cancer that crystallizes for you. And I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer.”
She continued, “But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters,” adding, “and if he does I hope he isn’t one of the six who loses his life to suicide. And I hope he isn’t one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then live to see Donald Trump pardon those people.”
The comment was so disgraceful it sparked calls on social media for MSNBC to fire Wallace.
Wallace wasn’t alone in her disgusting behavior towards DJ — Democrats collectively also refused to stand or clap as President Trump named the brave cancer survivor an honorary federal agent, prompting the president’s son Donald Trump Jr. to remark, “If you can’t stand up and cheer for a kid with brain cancer being made an honorary member of the Secret Service, then you might be a deeply disturbed and fucked up person!!!”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized Democrats’ unhinged behavior during a press briefing Wednesday, calling out Wallace by name as an example of how the left-leaning “mainstream media still doesn’t get it.”
“Last night, MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace disgustingly looped in a 13-year-old boy with brain cancer into an attack on the president over January 6th,” adding that a CNN chyron read that Trump’s speech was “divisive.”
“President Trump wasn’t divisive. The Democrats were,” Leavitt continued. “And CNN was proven wrong by their own viewers, 69% of whom in a post-speech poll said they had a positive reaction to the president’s speech.
“It’s sad, and frankly pathetic, that Democrats and liberals in the legacy media continue to allow their hatred for the president to override their love for our country. But nevertheless, the president will continue to unify this nation through policies that are grounded in common sense and that uplift all Americans.”
On Tuesday night, Trump named DJ – who was given five months to live but has defied the odds for six years and always dreamed of becoming a police officer – an honorary Secret Service agent.
