Press secretary of the White House of Caroline Leavitt called MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace By name on Wednesday after the host of the left -wing network criticized President Donald Trump’s decision to present a young survivor cancer in his address to Congress.
DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old survivor of cancer, received permanent standing ovations from most common session piles, although some democrats were seen on the camera sitting at different times, while Trump spoke of a teenager.
Trump explained that Daniel and his father, who were in the crowd and at one point held their son during the president’s remarks, were in a “pursuit” to realize their dream of becoming a police officer and explaining that he became a venerable member of the local police departments.

“I ask our new Director of the Secret Service, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States,” Trump announced during speech.
But the gesture did not sit well with Wallace, who tried to establish a connection between Daniel and January 6 Capitol Riot.
“I hope they have a long life as a law enforcement officer,” she said. “But I hope he never has to defend the Capitol of the United States against Donald Trump’s supporters, and if he does, I hope he is not one of the six who loses his life to suicide, and I hope he is not the one who has to testify against the people who have performed the works of the conspiracy and then lived to see Donald Trump persecuting these people.”

During the briefing for journalists in the White House, Leavitt called Democrats “Party of Madness and Hate” before turning her attention to members of liberal media.
“Last night MSNBC is Nicolle Wallace’s disgustingly trapped UA 13-year-old boy with brain cancer In the attack on the president of more than 6 January, “she said.
“It is sad and honestly pathetic to democrats and liberals in the inherited media continue to allow their hatred to the president to overpower the love of our country,” Leavitt added later.

“This was in the middle of him praising [the Department of Government Efficiency]”She continued.” Doge cuts, Among other things, they interrupted the financing of continuous research by pediatric cancer. “
