MSNBC's Nicole Wallace and Rachel Madow were blown up as “twist by illness” after shamelessly politicizing President Trump and then 13-year-old cancer survivor Devaljay “DJ” Daniel, an honorable secret service agent.
Trump praised the DJ's long-standing battle with brain cancer in one of the most moving moments in his speech to Congress late Tuesday.
Still, Wallace and Maddow quickly used emotional moments during the MSNBC panel to tear up Trump.
Madow oddly accused Trump of “not like it” for bringing the spotlight to the DJ's fight against heroic illness.
“For the record, and this is disgusting – the president has created the sights from praise of a young man who has ever survived childhood cancer.
Meanwhile, Wallace tried to unite the DJ's desire to become a police officer in the Capitol riots of January 6, 2021.
“I hope he lives another 95 years. I hope he lives the life he wants to live. He wants to be a police officer and says that what he wants to do and maybe he has pediatric cancer that crystallizes for you, he probably said when you have a child cancer in your child after saying that he felt “joy” in the boy's moment.
“I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer, but I hope he doesn't have to defend the U.S. Capitol against supporters of Donald Trump. If so, I hope he isn't one of the six who will lose his life to commit suicide.”
“And I hope he doesn't have to testify against those who lived to see Donald Trump forgive those people.”
The backlash against the pair was swift on social media, with many reflecting on them to politicize the tragic battle with children's illness.
“MSNBC used DJ Daniel to attack President Trump. These people are getting sick and twisted,” one user posted on X.
Another shot, “Rachel Madow is a foul. She couldn't remove the poor boy from politics. What a great night for DJ Daniel! Poor Madow needs to get over TD!”
“MSNBC actually politicized DJ Daniel's moment in tonight's joint speech. DJ Daniel has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, and is this hack Nicole Wallace talking about suicide and J6? She needs to be fired,” one user held on the X-Post.
