MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Thursday on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” that it is “really important” that Democrats win either the House or the Senate, or both.
“You have referred to yourself as a non-practicing Republican right now because the Republican Party has drifted away from what I believe were the values I think drew you to it,” Seth Meyers said to Wallace. “And these were the ‘isms,’ such as ‘nationalism.’ Is this something that you saw coming at any point? I mean, is this something that happened with Donald Trump or is it something that was trending this way and he took advantage of?”
Wallace responded by saying this was the people she worked for “tried to push against,” citing former Republican Alaska governor Sarah Palin as someone who started the “grievance” movement within the GOP.
“I saw that her crowds were bigger and louder and more animated by her speaking to their grievances, speaking to their nativism, speaking to their feeling of being angry about immigration and other issues,” Wallace explained. “But John McCain didn’t embrace any of those, and that’s probably why ultimately the two of them ended up not on the same page.”
Meyers then asked if she thinks they’ll ever be a time where she will “practice Republicanism” again, which she laughed and said, “no.”
“I think that the time when Republicans and Democrats went on TV and fought about taxes is dead. I don’t think that’ll happen again, and I think more often than not, people that have seen American presidents up-close and know what the conduct is supposed to be like will ultimately decide that a check on this administration is urgent,” Wallace said.
“I think it’s really important that Democrats take over the House and/or the Senate,” she said. “I think that any White House is improved by having a check and a balance, this White House more than any other.”
And we wonder why the party was a perennial loser under their watch.
Why isn’t this “media” station required to register as a lobbying group?
Can anyone explain that to me?
Most of the elected Republicans think the same way about immigration.
We would not have needed Trump if the GOP was on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
EVERY Bush League Republican that supports amnesty and open borders MUST be replaced.
The list is long.
Uniparty trollette.
I really despise Wallace and that dumb, ugly putz Steve Schmidt.
Horrible woman. Wallace has been as “Republican” as Nancy Pelosi has ever been.
Right! Another is S.E Cupp whose glasses don’t make her look smarter. That ship has sailed. Both she and Wallace make me sick!!!
She’s a nobody, but not surprising.
This chick is a total pet of the Left, totally a USEFUL IDIOT so she can get patted on the head whenever she spews this tripe.
It’s hard to know whether to condemn Wallace and Schmidt for torpedoing the McCain presidential bid or McCain for being so incredibly stupid and vain to trust them.
Never Trumper traitor.
Same here! I love watching 2016 election night and their stupid expressions! Can’t wait to see their expressions on Nov.6th!
I’m just hoping I can defecate on McWormfood’s grave before I die...
A non-practicing Republican but a practicing lunatic. That I believe.
Nope - sure shows the difference between a President Trump and a “compassionate conservative” in the WH....911 is the only thing that kept Bush from being a 100% washout - he weighs in as a 94% washout...
Perfectly said Sontagged! What a backstabbing Harpy.
Truly the standard bearer for the Uniparty. Democrat/Republican, what difference does it make with these people? They are all in the same party of government.
She is not even Bush League. She is McCain League which is several steps lower.
