'No one is coming to save anybody': MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace issues urgent plea
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace told viewers Monday afternoon no one is coming to save them.
And they must act.
Her remark came after protesters flooded the streets of Washington, D.C., earlier on the President's Day holiday to oppose President Donald Trump's purge of federal workers.
Wallace spoke to longtime Republican pollster Sarah Longwell, asking what solutions can remedy the "fake news" with "jet fuel" world of Trump's administration.
"How do we solve the whole problem of misinformation?" Longwell repeated, questioning widespread concerns of falsehoods from bad actors in the news.

"These are a bunch of people who have no idea what they're doing, just wiping out whole departments or agencies," Longwell said. "And then not being able to put them back together when it's discovered that actually, they had a critical role in something deeply important, like American nuclear security. And so I just — people have got to sort of find their spines, find their feet, find their voices, and get out there and start pushing back, because that's the only thing that's going to really make a difference right now."
Wallace agreed with Longwell and asked to see videos of protesters on the screen again.
"This is the answer," she said. "No one's coming to save anybody. No one has ever planned to save anybody. Not the Democratic Party. The media can't do it by themselves. This is the answer. This is people taking to the streets. They're not pickled in disinformation."
She recalled that during the 2024 campaign people were able to push back so hard against "Project 2025" that Trump distanced himself from it. Now that he's enacting "Project 2025" there's another opportunity to do the same.
