Nicole Wallace: There’s A ‘Direct Line’ Between Trump And Attacks On Reporters
Read Time:1 Minute, 26 Second
Remember Nicole Wallace? She used to be George Bush’s press secretary, but no more, and certainly no defender of all things Republican, at least since the advent of Donald Trump.
On Morning Joe today, Scarborough asked Wallace what she thought about the conflicting reports about the assault by Greg Gianforte, the Montana Gubernatorial candidate charged with a misdemeanor for the attack against Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs.
“I don’t know what there is to sift through,” Wallace replied.
“This is a candidate on the eve of his election, acting like a lunatic. And I saw Joe’s tweets last night. and this animalistic behavior out of our politicians, that they’ve become — I don’t want to reveal too much about my viewing habits but it’s something you see on “Reno 911,” it’s like a lunatic pulled over for swerving and acting belligerent at a traffic stop.
“It’s not the way anyone should expect someone who wants to represent constituents behaves. And anyone who thinks it’s too early to draw a direct line between Donald Trump calling reporters ‘enemies of the state’ and people beating up a working journalist, it’s ridiculous,” she said.
“And the fact that you have a Fox crew bearing witness is just beautiful, exquisite irony, sort of defending the account of The Guardian.
“I think it’s time for all journalists to sort of stand together. And I think that it’s — that the White House thinks these are separate or isolated incidents, that they don’t think they’ve created a climate with something like this can happen, is unsustainable.”
Well there’s no doubt Donald Trump has created an environment where reporters may have to start wearing body cameras. Yep. We’re making America great again alright!

Your right in line with Kathy Griffin.. Your ratings are dropping.. Cook your own ass! Bye bye fake news anchor☠…..
Yes there is…..and you lying, partisan, totally fake news bastards need to stop your attacks on this President or your profession will suffer even more…..if that’s even possible. Your constant barrage of lies and deceit is disgraceful!
I think they see that they are serving their constituents, but the constituents are the party bosses – who see their
constituents as Capital, foreign and domestic.
I do believe that she spells her name Nicolle. @NicolleDWallace according to her Twitter account, and I have enjoyed watching her NEW program on MSNBC in the afternoons.
Nicole did “change her tune.” I used to despise her, now not so much.
She’s certainly changed her tune in just a few years. She used to be a radical Rightie. Good job Nicole.
