MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace on Friday admitted she feels "physically sick" listening to President Donald Trump's talking point that Russia's interference on behalf of his 2016 campaign was a "hoax."
Wallace played a clip of Trump speaking with Linda McMahon while vacationing at Mar-a-Largo.
"This was a hoax, this was a witch hunt and I have absolutely nothing to hide," Trump falsely claimed.
Frank Figiliuzzi, the former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence, explained the danger in Trump's "hoax" claims.
"Here is the problem that, the findings of the special counsel were that our foreign adversary went to great extreme lengths to meddle in our election," he reminded. "And so, if the public perceived this all as a hoax and forgets the incredible findings that Mueller had about the degree to which we were messed with, then we have lost the value of this inquiry."
"We're being attacked by a foreign adversary," he argued. "We have to stop the spin out of Washington and we've got to become more educated consumers of information."
Wallace agreed.
"It is chilling and it makes me feel physically sick to think about the idea that the public will take from Donald Trump's lunatic tirade that the Russian role was a hoax," she explained.
Jennifer Rubin, a Washington Post columnist said, "in history he will go down as the president that was elected by a hostile foreign government."
