'Slow-moving scandal': MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace slams Fox for ducking Trump rally reports
June 10, 2024
The Fox networks once broadcast Donald Trump's speeches live, but it has been a while since the ex-president graced the airwaves in anything that wasn't edited by the network.
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace began her show Monday with a clip of some of the confusing statements the ex-president made during his Sunday Las Vegas rally.
It contrasted with President Joe Biden's campaign airing an ad of world leaders laughing at Trump — though NBC News reporter Vaughn Hillyard argued to Wallace that Trump supporters love the idea of an American leader "giving the finger" to the global establishment like NATO.
"I don't even think his entire base feels that way," Wallace disagreed.
But then she focused on Fox's coverage.
"I think the slow-moving scandal, in my view, is that Fox News isn't broadcasting this anymore. That was not aired in its entirety," Wallace said of the Vegas rally.
"I actually heard from someone who was watching Fox looking for it. It wasn't on, and they were wondering why. We rolled the tape, and I wonder what you think is going on with Trump."
Stuart Stevens, the co-founder of the Lincoln Project that unites anti—Trump conservatives, said, "This is just someone you wouldn't want to sit next to on a plane who has no coherent chain of thought."
"He has no theory of government. As you say, he has no reason to be running other than Donald Trump. This bundle of grievances."
According to his political expertise, Stevens said, "Biden is going to win this thing easily."
He anticipates that in the middle of October, Americans will look at Trump rallies and they won't be willing to vote for the same man who rambles on about sharks and batteries.
"I think Trump is like a guy walking around with a paper bag full of water. It's probably not going to leak that much," Stevens said. "When it goes, it's going to be hell to pay to get it back. I think that's where he's headed."
"And Fox can try not to show this and hide it. But it's a long time to the election and a lot of people are going to start paying attention that aren't paying attention now. And I think it's going to be impossible to hide the difference."
