RAW STORY
President Donald Trump demanded that MSNBC hosts Nicolle Wallace and Rachel Maddow be "forced to resign" in an Oval Office rant to reporters Thursday.
Trump's wrath stems from the fact that both hosts criticized the moment at his address to Congress this week, during which he inducted a 13-year-old cancer patient as an honorary Secret Service agent.
“For the record – and this is disgusting – the president made a spectacle out of praising a young man who’s thus far survived pediatric cancer – as if the president had something to do with that,” Maddow said of the incident.
Wallace, meanwhile, highlighted the disconnect of Trump spotlighting law enforcement when he incited the Jan. 6 attack.
“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 and if he does, I hope he isn’t one of the six who loses his life to suicide,” she said. “And I hope he isn’t one that has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then lived to see Donald Trump pardon those people.”
The comments triggered a stream of outrage in right-wing media — and Trump has leapt on it himself.
"Frankly, what Nicolle Wallace said, I've never been a fan of hers," said Trump. "But she's not very talented. But I'll tell you, what she said the other day about that young man is disgraceful. She should be forced to resign. And Rachel Maddow, she should be forced to resign. Nobody watches her anyway, I don't know if, it's not possible that they pay her as much money as I hear. But certainly she's lost all credibility. Both of them. What they said the other day, they should be forced to resign, about that young person."
