MSNBC host Nicole Wallace angrily threw her script aside during a live broadcast Friday while discussing former President Trump’s social media attacks on a judge’s daughter.
“So it was time to do something different,” Wallace said, tossing the script aside. “Likewise, I’m not going to have this conversation again! I’ve broadcast news bulletins countless times today about requests for gag orders due to intimidation of judges and their children before I was ready. ”
Wallace, along with former federal judge Michael Ruttig, MSNBC’s John Heilman, Lisa Rubin and Glenn Kirshner, are furious with him and have asked the “highest court in the nation” to delay “all federal criminal trials.” He said he requested it.
“Donald Trump brazenly and repeatedly attacks not just judges,” she said. “Judges don’t have the Secret Service to protect them.”

President Trump asserts his innocence and says, “I never thought something like this could happen in America.”
“Donald Trump hasn’t changed at all, so what are we going to change?” Wallace added.
Luttig argued that Trump’s goal is to “delegitimize” the decision so that if the court rules against him, Americans can overrule it.
“We all know that from the very beginning, when the former president launched attacks, vicious attacks, on federal courts, state courts, and their judges, his goal was to delegitimize those courts, and when… And he has to understand that if he got a verdict against him, his intention was to nullify it.”On the various issues for which he is being prosecuted, if not a significant portion of the population , at least his followers will dismiss these judgments against him as politically inspired and motivated,” he said.
