MSNBC host Nicole Wallace immediately came under withering fire online Tuesday evening following Pr:esi:dent Dona:ld Tru::mp’s address to a joint session of Congress over what she said about one of his guests.

During his speech, Tru::mp recognized DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old cancer survivor who he made an honorary U.S. Secret Service agent to thunderous applause from Republicans, as most Democrats chose to remain seated and refused even to clap for the youngster.

After co-host Rachel Maddow claimed that Tru::mp was politicizing the youngster’s recovery, Wallace made her remarks.

“I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that you let yourself feel,” Wallace said, also responding to DJ’s viral moment during Tru::mp’s speech. “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.”

“I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer,” she said, before adding this horrendous remark: “But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Tru::mp’s supporters, 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 lived to see Don::ald Tru::mp pardon those people.”

The comment drew immediate pushback online, with most tearing into Wallace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Earlier, Maddow said, “For the record, and this is disgusting, the president made a spectacle out of praising a young man who thus far survived pediatric cancer, as if the president had something to do with that.”

“This was in the midst of him praising [the Department of Government Efficiency],” she added. “The DOGE cuts, among other things, have cut off funding for ongoing research into pediatric cancer.”

For the record, Tr””ump never took credit for Daniels’ recovery. Rather, he simply recognized the teen’s horrendous survival journey and credited his enduring positivity and ambition to become a law enforcement officer when he becomes an adult.

Tru::mp shared the story of Daniel and his father, who was in the crowd and even lifted him up at one point during the speech. He explained that the two have been on a “quest” to fulfill Daniel’s dream of becoming a police officer and noted that Daniel has already been made an honorary member of several local police departments.

“Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police,” Tru::mp said after praising America’s law enforcement officers.

“The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago,” the president continued. “Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true.”

“And tonight, DJ, we’re going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States,” Tru::mp added, as the boy’s eyes lit up.
