MSNBC host makes repulsive remarks about child with brain cancer honored during Trump's congressional address

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace made a tone-deaf statement about DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old child with brain cancer who was made an honorary member of the United States Secret Service during President Donald Trump's congressional address Tuesday night.

Daniel received a standing ovation from Republicans in the chamber, while Democrats remained seated.

Despite the heartfelt exchange many Americans witnessed, Wallace couldn't help but politicize the touching moment Daniel's dreams came true.

"Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police," Trump said during the address. "His name is DJ Daniel, he is 13 years old, and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer. But in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago."

"Tonight, DJ, we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all," Trump said. "I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service."

Despite the heartfelt exchange many Americans witnessed, Wallace couldn't help but politicize the touching moment when Daniel's dreams came true.

“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," Wallace said. “And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide. And I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy."

Leave it up to the left to somehow turn a sincere moment honoring a child cancer patient into a political talking point about January 6.
