This MS NOW Host Absolutely Destroyed Trump's Prime Time Speech Before It Even Happened
by Ron Dicker · BuzzFeedPosted 3 minutes ago
MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace turned her network’s reporting on what President Donald Trump planned to say in a speech this week into a scathing takedown of his propensity to “exploit” and “pervert” to attack democracy as he mounts another “assault” on the truth.
On Monday’s Deadline: White House, a weary-sounding Wallace pointed to an MS NOW report that he will use his prime-time address to present new claims that the 2020 election was rigged against him.
Earlier, Trump announced on Truth Social, in the third person, that he would be speaking to the nation without providing any details.
But digging by MS NOW reporter Jake Traylor inspired Wallace to opine on what the president was really up to.
“Donald Trump appears to be taking his assault on the truth, and democracy, and American elections, to prime time,” she began. “MS NOW is now reporting that Trump will deliver an address Thursday evening where he plans to unveil another round of lies about why he lost in 2020 to Joe Biden. This time, claiming that newly declassified reports reveal foreign interference in that election that his own government didn’t know about at the time, lies that seemed to conveniently obscure that he was the president of the United States.”
She continued, “All of his handpicked people ran every facet of the government in 2020. His handpicked Attorney General Bill Barr ran the Justice Department. His handpicked replacement for Jim Comey, Chris Wray, ran the FBI. Both of them have repeatedly and publicly debunked these lies that there was any foreign interference. ... It is likely to mark the start of releases of so-called evidence that everyone that worked for him in 2020 couldn’t find. But Donald Trump makes it abundantly clear that there is no lever of national security power that he will not exploit and pervert to undermine our faith in our elections and our democracy.”
