When Donald Trump honored a 13-year-old boy with brain cancer, Nicolle Wallace was chastised for bringing up the subject of \u201csuicide.\u201d
\nAfter US President Donald Trump honored a 13-year-old boy with brain cancer during his speech to a joint session of Congress, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace came under fire for bringing up the subject of \u201csuicide\u201d in relation to the boy.<\/p>\n
Since his 2018 diagnosis at the age of six, DJ Daniels has been undergoing treatment for cancer. The child still wants to be a police officer in spite of his health issue.<\/p>\n
When Trump announced that the 13-year-old would be sworn in as an honorary Secret Service agent on Tuesday, he made reference to DJ in his emotional speech.<\/p>\n
Republicans in the House gallery cheered \u201cDJ\u201d during the tearful moment as Director Sean Curran handed him his badge.<\/p>\n
His goal has always been to work as a police officer. However, Trump stated that DJ was given a brain cancer diagnosis in 2018.<\/p>\n
He disclosed that ever since that day, DJ and his father have been striving to realize his dream. \u201cAnd we\u2019re going to give you the greatest honor of all tonight, DJ.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nicolle Wallace criticizes the gesture made by Trump.<\/strong><\/p>\n Social media users showered Trump with praise for satisfying DJ Daniels\u2019 wish, but during his live speech, MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Nicole Wallace unexpectedly scolded him.<\/p>\n Wallace claimed that although she gave herself permission to \u201cfeel joy\u201d over Daniels\u2019 moment in front of the country, her mind quickly shifted to something unpleasant and disturbing.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope he lives the life he desires and that he survives for another 95 years.\u201d Wallace started, \u201cHe knows what he wants to do, he wants to be a cop, and maybe when you have childhood cancer that crystallizes for you.\u201d<\/p>\n The host then used the Capitol riots as an excuse to criticize Trump.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope he never has to defend the United States capitol against Donald Trump\u2019s supporters and if he does, I hope he isn\u2019t one of the six who lose his life to suicide,\u201d she said, wishing Daniels a long career in law enforcement.<\/p>\n As she continued her tirade against Trump, she expressed her hope that he would not be compelled to testify against those who had committed malicious conspiracy crimes and that Trump would show mercy to those who had done so.<\/p>\n Maddow, who appeared to be fighting back tears, criticized Trump for initially using Daniels.<\/p>\n The president made a show of congratulating a young man who has so far survived pediatric cancer, as if he had anything to do with it, she continued. \u201cFor the record, and this is disgusting,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n When Trump praised Elon Musk\u2019s DOGE for ceasing to fund \u201congoing research into pediatric cancer,\u201d Maddow took aim.<\/p>\n Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib displayed a placard that read, \u201cYou cut cancer research.\u201d<\/p>\n This is how the Internet responds to the comments made by MSNBC hosts.<\/strong><\/p>\n When the video of their comments went viral on social media, Rachel Maddow and Nicole Wallace both received a great deal of criticism.<\/p>\n One X user commented, \u201cNicole Wallace, this chick on MSNBC, needs to be fired for expressing her hope that a 13-year-old cancer patient doesn\u2019t commit suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the most disgusting thing I\u2019ve ever heard someone say. Nicole Wallace\u2019s politicization of DJ\u2019s predicament is outrageous. GO AWAY FROM THE KIDS ALONE! Someone else made a comment.<\/p>\n Nicole Wallace\u2019s politicization of DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old boy battling brain cancer, is outrageous! You dare! She ought to be let go right away! Shameful! A third person wrote.<\/p>\n A fourth user wrote, \u201cIn reality, your dictator politicized him the moment he brought him as a prop to use to gain more favor among his cult followers.\u201d \u201cMSNBC\u2019s Nicole Wallace politicizes,\u201d the user said.<\/p>\n Another said, \u201cBut Nicole Wallace just hopes that boy doesn\u2019t end up committing suicide because of Trump,\u201d calling Wallace\u2019s comments \u201cbeyond sick.\u201d The user went on to say, \u201cMSNBC must fire her.\u201d<\/p>\n Some users, meanwhile, urged Maddow to \u201cjust shut up,\u201d calling her comments \u201cdisgusting\u201d and claiming that she should apologize to the DJ family.<\/p>\n
