‘A horrible reporter’: MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace slammed for saying she 'might not be' on air if Trump wins

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Nicolle Wallace, a prominent MSNBC host, recently made a statement suggesting that her future on air might be uncertain if former President Trump were to win the upcoming election.

Reflecting on the recent White House Correspondents' Association Dinner on 'Deadline: White House', Wallace observed a somber tone beneath the surface festivities, hinting at a potentially ominous future for press freedom.

Wallace remarked on a darker undercurrent during the event, stating, "Behind the levity, though, there was something darker. A darker undercurrent, if you will, and a point that the president had to make — and it was more profoundly serious."

She implied a threat to the existence of essential journalistic institutions such as the White House press corps and the broader concept of a free press itself, noting, "Because at this exact time next year, depending what happens in November seven months from now, we can’t say for certain that there would even be a White House Correspondents’ Dinner, or even a free press, or even a White House press corps."

In a moment of reflection, Wallace contemplated the possibility of being ousted from the show in the future, stating, "This time next year I might not be sitting here."

Her remarks were underscored by a video clip showing President Biden offering a toast to members of the press at the dinner. She said while she’s seen the toast many times, "it landed very differently this year".

She concluded, “While our democracy wouldn’t exactly fall apart immediately without it, the real threat looms larger. A candidate with outward disdain, not just for a free press, but for all our freedoms and for the rule of law itself.”

Nicolle Wallace's concerns echoed across MSNBC

Wallace's comments, which were highlighted by Mediaite, resonate with the sentiments of other commentators on MSNBC who frequently scrutinize the actions of the former president and his allies.

Throughout his tenure and beyond, Trump has been a vocal critic of MSNBC, accusing the network of biased coverage against him. Recently, he even hinted at using federal resources to investigate Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal, over what he labeled as "treasonous" behavior.

Internet reacts to Nicole Wallace's statements

Many people online, however, did not agree with Nicole Wallace's statements. 

One user wrote, "Nicole has mental health issues."

Another commented, "One more reason to vote for Trump!!"

One user replied, "She might not be sitting there because she's a horrible reporter that is easily triggered over the dumbest things. Not because of Trump."

Another added, "I'd be more concerned about my flailing ratings, @NicolleDWallace...Trump or not, I seriously doubt you'll be sitting there."

One user said, "She’s right. We want real journalists not paid lying talking heads."

Another added, "At least they're starting to come to terms with it. Acceptance is the last stage of grief so I'm proud of these little propagandists for admitting it's over. MSM is, in fact, dead and it's just time to move on."

One user said, "Their fear mongering and dissembling have entered into heretofore unheralded realms of epicness. The legacy corporate media, and all their various purveyors of lies and mistruths, are an irredeemable disgrace."
