Outrage Erupts as Karoline Leavitt Slams MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace for Vile Attack Linking Teen Cancer Survivor to January 6 Riot—Fans Demand Her Firing as Trump’s Heartfelt Honor Turns Into a Media Firestorm of Hate and Division!
On April 6, 2025, a media maelstrom ignited when White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, 27, unleashed a blistering rebuke of MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, 53, for “disgustingly” tying 13-year-old cancer survivor Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel to the January 6 Capitol riot. During Trump’s March 4 congressional address, he named DJ—battling brain cancer since 2018—an honorary Secret Service agent, a moment of triumph that drew cheers. But Wallace soured it, musing on air, “I hope he never has to defend the Capitol against Trump’s supporters” or “lose his life to suicide” like some officers did post-January 6. The backlash was swift and fierce.
Leavitt, speaking at a Wednesday briefing, accused Wallace of letting “Trump Derangement Syndrome” taint a child’s victory. “She looped a 13-year-old with brain cancer into an attack on the president—it’s sick,” Leavitt fumed, waving a CBS poll showing 76% of Americans approved Trump’s speech. X exploded with fury: “Fire Nicolle Wallace!” one user demanded, branding her “twisted.” Another raged, “Leave the kids alone!” as #FireNicolle trended. Right-leaning voices, joined by some moderates, decried her “vile” pivot from DJ’s courage to political venom, with one calling it “the most disgusting thing I’ve heard.”
Wallace, unbowed, returned to MSNBC Wednesday, doubling down on Trump criticism while ignoring the uproar. “He made a spectacle of a boy who’s survived cancer, as if he’s responsible,” she sneered, echoing colleague Rachel Maddow’s “disgusting” jab at Trump’s gesture. Joe Scarborough piled on, dismissing the speech as “nonsense.” But the trio’s defiance only fueled calls for Wallace’s head—dozens on X, from “She needs to go!” to “What the hell?”—as viewers, especially conservatives, demanded MSNBC act. “This isn’t journalism; it’s hate,” one post seethed.
The saga’s roots trace to Trump’s Tuesday night honor of DJ, lifted by his dad as Congress roared—save for some seated Democrats. Wallace’s tangent, tying the teen’s Secret Service dream to January 6’s grim toll (four officers later died by suicide), struck many as cruel. Leavitt countered, “Trump united us; Democrats divided,” pointing to CNN’s “divisive” label proven wrong by its own 69% positive viewer poll. DJ, meanwhile, hugged Secret Service Director Sean Curran, oblivious to the storm.
As outrage simmers, Wallace’s silence on the backlash—backed by MSNBC’s mute stance—hints at defiance or denial. For Leavitt, it’s a rallying cry; for fans, a betrayal of a kid’s moment. Will Wallace bend, or Fox’s foe face the axe? This clash isn’t cooling anytime soon.
