During a recent segment on MS NOW's "Deadline," host Nicolle Wallace expressed strong disapproval of President Donald Trump's interactions with female journalists, describing his behavior as "sick shit."
Wallace highlighted several instances where President Trump used derogatory language towards women in the media, including calling ABC's Rachel Scott "obnoxious and terrible," labeling Kaitlin Collins "stupid and nasty," and referring to CBS journalist Nancy Cordes with the question, "are you stupid?"
Additionally, he described the New York Times' Katie Rogers as "ugly," and ABC's Mary Bruce as "terrible and insubordinate." A Bloomberg reporter was also subjected to the insult "quiet, piggy."
According to Breitbart, Wallace's commentary underscored a broader concern about the normalization of such verbal attacks. She urged those present in the media to reflect on the impact of these interactions, suggesting they consider how their family members might feel if subjected to similar treatment.
Wallace emphasized the importance of solidarity among journalists, proposing that the press corps could collectively refuse to accept such behavior, thereby preventing the normalization of misogyny in media interactions.
Wallace further argued that President Trump thrives on media attention and suggested that a unified stance by journalists could challenge his behavior. She drew parallels to previous instances where the media stood together, such as when there was an attempt to rename oceans.
Wallace warned of the potential consequences if the media fails to act, suggesting that it could lead to an era marked by unprecedented misogyny. Her call to action was clear: the press must decide whether to accept this behavior or to stand united against it, thereby setting a precedent for respectful interactions with female journalists.
