MSNBC's Nicole Wallace stops reading Trump tweets on air: 'These are boldface lies'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace cut herself off mid-sentence while reading President Trump’s tweets on-air Friday, calling them "boldface lies."

“I’m not reading anymore of this,” Wallace said with a laugh. “These are boldface lies and as his audacity and his sort of fantasies expand, I wonder what role you think the truth plays in this for any of them."


Wallace had been reading a series of the president's tweets in which he again attacked the FBI's use of an informant during his campaign, suggesting the agency used a top-secret spy to monitor his team before it began its investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Trump also accused Democrats of planting the informant in his campaign “for the sole purpose of political advantage and gain.”

1. The media should adopt this behavior

and stop the 24/7 ratings BS. Be professional. Oh wait...$$$$$$$ makes the rules so ignore what I said. Money and tRump BS are all that counts anymore.

4. I like that in "Greatest Threads" this is right under Equinox Moon's thread on

the fact that when we give his lies attention, they grow.

Good for Wallace. We need to somehow find a way to stop repeating him and to take our constant attention away from him, while at the same time not letting him be normalized. This is a good start.

5. Encouraging.

Glad to see the word get out to proclaim what a
POS the current occupant of the White House is.

6. Trump just makes up crap. Flings it out there like poop to see what sticks. He's a serial liar

7. long overdue. this is a much-needed change.

as long as the media remains a 24/7 Trumpy echo chamber, the forces of consensus reality and responsible government are at an extreme disadvantage.

when the media covers GOP policies and their effects, we stand a chance. when Trump sucks all the oxygen out of the news cycle and turns our nation into his fantasy TV series, Putin has democracy by the short hairs.
