Piers Morgan Destroys MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace Over ‘Disgusting’ Remarks About 13-Year-Old Brain Cancer Survivor Spotlighted by Trump
Piers Morgan called Nicolle Wallace’s reaction to President Donald Trump honoring a young boy with cancer this week “one of the most disgusting, shameful, reprehensible” things he’s ever seen in American media.
Morgan joined Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle Wednesday night and asked why MSNBC had not fired Wallace already.
Wallace received backlash from critics for her coverage of Trump’s address to Congress, and in particular, a moment where Trump honored DJ Daniels, a 13-year-old battling cancer, as an “honorary agent” to help fulfill his goal of becoming a law enforcement officer. Wallace used the moment to take a shot at Trump over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
“I hope he [Daniels] 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,” Wallace said.
Morgan reacted:
“[It was] one of the most disgusting, shameful, reprehensible things I have ever seen on the news in America. And the bar was pretty high for that accolade. I thought what Nicole Wallace did last night in taking that boy’s story and in a weirdly dystopian, horrific way, asking us to think about whether he might kill himself. What on Earth was she thinking? Why is she still in her job today? Why has nobody at NBC watched that back like the rest of us, aghast in horror and said, you’re fired because that was a disgusting thing to do.”
He also blasted Rachel Maddow, one of the other MSNBC hosts covering Trump’s speech earlier in the week.
Morgan said:
And she wasn’t the only one at MSNBC. Rachel Maddow, in a laughably ironic rant about don’t politicize this boy’s story, then politicized his story and they couldn’t get their heads around it. Again, Laura, it was the lack of humanity. I don’t care if you’re on the left or the right. If you’re a human being and that story doesn’t just move you like a human being should be moved, there is something wrong with you. There was something wrong with those Democrats who didn’t get up off their backside. There’s something wrong with those MSNBC anchors, and it says an awful lot that they still pretend they are the caring ones, the compassionate ones.
