Karoline Leavitt attacked Nicolle Wallace of MSNBC for remarks that connected a teenage cancer survivor to the Capitol riot on January 6.
Donald Trump named 13-year-old Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, who was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2018, an honorary Secret Service agent during his Tuesday night speech before Congress.
But the president’s actions were swiftly criticized after Wallace, 53, made a string of deplorable comments that turned the nice gesture into a negative.
The MSNBC host started off by saying, “I hope he lives the life he wants to live and that he lives for another 95 years.” Before turning to the deadly Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, she added, “He wants to be a cop, he knows what he wants to do, and maybe when you have childhood cancer that crystallizes for you.”
“As a law enforcement officer, I hope he lives a long life, but I hope he never has to defend the U.S. Capitol against Donald Trump’s supporters, and if he does, I hope he isn’t one of the six who lose his life to suicide,” she said.
Wallace also expressed her hope that Daniel won’t have to “testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then live to see Donald Trump pardon those people” during the segment.
The White House Press Secretary was among those who swiftly condemned the MSNBC anchor’s hateful remark on the internet.
Leavitt, 27, claimed that Democratic politicians and members of the mainstream media “allowed their Trump Derangement Syndrome to stop them from celebrating America” during her press briefing on Wednesday.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, 27, criticized MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace after the host “disgustingly” connected a boy with cancer to the horrific Capitol riot on January 6.
When discussing the terminally ill teen (left), MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace (right), 53, was able to turn the President’s noble gesture into a negative by bringing up the topic of “suicide.”
It is still not understood by the mainstream media. A 13-year-old boy with brain cancer was horribly included in an attack on the president over January 6 by MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace last night, according to Leavitt.
The White House representative then took aim at CNN, pointing out that the cable network referred to the president’s speech as “divisive” on national television.
“President Trump did not cause division.” According to a post-speech poll, 69 percent of viewers said they had a positive reaction to the President’s speech, proving CNN was wrong and the Democrats were wrong, Leavitt said.
Shortly after, she displayed a printed copy of a CBS News/YouGov survey that indicated 76 percent of Americans “approved” of the speech. She says the president gave her the poll.
Wallace made a comeback to the air on Wednesday, but she declined to respond to mounting calls for her termination.
Despite the severe criticism she received, an unrepentant Wallace persisted in criticizing President Trump during her segment.
The 53-year-old anchor was not the only MSNBC host, though, to express disapproval of the president’s speech.
The 51-year-old Rachel Maddow called Trump’s honoring Daniel “disgusting,” while Joe Scarborough, co-host of “Morning Joe,” said the speech was filled with “so much nonsense” on Wednesday morning.
Following his appointment as an honorary member of the US Secret Service by President Donald Trump on March 4, 13-year-old cancer survivor Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel is encouraged by his father.
After making the deplorable comments about the teen having brain cancer, the disgraced host returned to the air on Wednesday, refusing to answer the mounting calls for her dismissal.
Despite the severe criticism she received, an unrepentant Wallace persisted in criticizing President Trump during her segment. Daniel embraces Secret Service Director Sean Curran in the photo.
For the record, and this is abhorrent, the president made a show of congratulating a young man who has so far escaped childhood cancer, as though he was involved, she said.
Viewers are out for blood, despite the fact that neither Wallace nor the network have issued any kind of statement regarding her offensive comments.
“Nicole Wallace is fired by @MSNBC!!!!” “Nicolle Wallace is one twisted and hateful demon,” one user wrote, while another added. She ought to be removed from MSNBC.
Another person said, “Nicolle Wallace, this chick on MSNBC, needs to be fired for saying she hopes a 13-year-old cancer patient doesn’t kill himself.” “Like, what the hell?”
Someone else said, “I call on the firing of Nicolle Wallace.” At least dozens of people, the majority of whom lean right, agreed.
One such user commented, “This is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard someone say,” and then added, “Leave the kids alone!”
