Nicolle Wallace & Rachel Maddow slam ‘distorted’ criticism of brain cancer patient honored by Trump: touching moment ‘disgusting’?

MSNBC’S Nicolle Wallace has been blasted for making a sick remark about the cancer-stricken teen honored in Donald Trump’s address to Congress.

Horrified viewers called for Wallace’s immediate firing after she and Rachel Maddow went on a “twisted” rant on Tuesday night.

During an address to Congress last night, Trump honored 13-year-old DJ Daniels, who had been battling brain cancer for six years, by swearing him in as an honorary Secret Service agent.

Daniels always hoped to become a cop, but his cancer battle set him back.

The young boy and his family were told that he only had five months to live at the time of his diagnosis. However, six years later, he’s still alive.

Last night’s heartfelt moment had the audience teary-eyed as they watched Daniels lifted by his father as he was presented with a Secret Service badge from Director Sean Curran.

But it didn’t take long for Wallace to politicize the touching gesture, as she bizarrely said she hoped the teen wouldn’t die by suicide.

At the beginning of the delusional diatribe, the MSNBC host said she “felt joy” and was overcome with emotion when Daniels was held up by his father.

“I hope he’s alive for another 95 years and I hope he lives the life he wants to live,” she said.

“He wants to be a cop, he knows what he wants to do and maybe when you have childhood cancer that crystallizes for you.”

However, then she strangely started speaking about the January 6 riots in a desperate attempt to criticize Trump.

“I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer, but I hope he never has to defend the United States capitol against Donald Trump’s supporters and if he does, I hope he isn’t one of the six who loses his life to suicide,” she said.

Wallace continued her January 6, 2021, analysis by saying she hopes that Daniels never has to “testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then lives to see Donald Trump pardon those people.”

Wallace’s cohosts, including Maddow, nodded in solemn agreement to everything the host was saying.

Maddow even went on to call Trump “disgusting” for honoring the teenager.

“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,” she said.

Social media users were aghast at Wallace and Maddow’s behavior, and called for the hosts to immediately step away from the network.

One X user called out Wallace for being “morally bankrupt and mentally sick and twisted.”

“This is the most repulsive thing I’ve heard uttered from someone’s mouth,” another user wrote with a quote of the video.

“How dare Nicole Wallace politicize DJ’s situation. Leave the kids alone!”

Other users said that executives needed to step in to and correct the dramatic situation.

“This chick on MSNBC [Nicole Wallace] needs to be fired,” one X user wrote.

“If you don’t fire Nicole Wallace after this , you don’t have a shred of integrity left in your company,” said another user.

“What she said is despicable and should never be tolerated in a civilized society.”

And a different person wrote, “I never wish for anything bad to happen to people but MSNBC has gone too far and Nicolle needs to be fired immediately.

“She is exactly what is wrong with MSNBC. Anyone advertising for them which I will name later needs to stop.”
