'Stop the car': MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace unleashes profanity on Trump's Chris Wray rant

Over the weekend, President Donald Trump answered questions about whether he would use his administration to target former FBI Director Christopher Wray in the wake of a federal indictment against James Comey.

At the top of her second hour, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace gave a phonetic reading of Trump's statement about Wray, telling her audience, "Stop the car."

"If you give Donald Trump his white whale, a long-sought-after and long-denied indictment of one of his perceived enemies, he's going to want another one to go with it," explained Wallace. "Immediately following the indictment of former FBI director James Comey, Donald Trump brutishly proclaimed, 'There will be others.' And this weekend, he hinted in an exclusive phone interview with NBC's Yamiche Alcindor that Comey's successor atop the FBI, Christopher Wray, who Donald Trump handpicked, could be next."

She then did her own dramatic reading of Trump's full statement, ensuring to read it phonetically.

"I think Christopher Wray did a terrible job, and we just found out about it. Over 200 people are embedded in that situation. And Christopher Wray never said that. In fact, he did the opposite. And I think it's very inappropriate what he — what he did. And I think a lot of his service was very inappropriate, period," Trump said.

Trump was then asked whether Wray should be investigated, and he replied: "I would imagine, I would certainly imagine — I would think they are doing that."

Wallace confessed it was difficult for her to know what Trump was "talking about because he makes — not a lot of sense."

She said what she could estimate he was referring to is a conspiracy theory published by the conservative site The Blaze, saying that there were 274 undercover FBI agents "embedded in the crowd" during Jan. 6, 2001. Trump implied on Truth Social that they were "probably acting as agitators and insurrectionists."

That's when Wallace said it was time to pause.

"So, we're going to stop the car here. We're going to make everybody get out. We're going to turn off the motor and the air conditioning, because this is bats--- crazy. Normal presidents get their information from their intelligence agencies. This is what we are deducing from what we saw on his social media feed and what we found in weird conservative media conspiracy theory content."

Wallace said that the report "is also a lie that is so audacious we want to try to put it into context for you, our viewers. Here's how audacious it is: Kash Patel is pushing back, at least on a little bit of it."

She then cited a Fox News digital report which examined a December 2024 inspector general investigation, saying, "We found no evidence in the materials we reviewed or the testimony we received showing or suggesting that the FBI had undercover employees in the various protest crowds or at the Capitol on Jan. 6."

There were, however, 26 informants; only three of them were asked to be there by the FBI.
