While critics immediately slammed her for going too far, the mood shifted dramatically once the full context came to light. As the underlying reason surfaced, many who initially condemned Leavitt found themselves rethinking their stance, sparking a wave of support.

Curious what pushed Leavitt to the edge and what Nicolle Wallace said that sparked it all? Dive into the full story now—this is one media moment you’ll want to see for yourself.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is setting the internet on fire after calling out MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace for comments that many are calling deeply inappropriate—even cruel. And once you hear what Wallace said about a teenage cancer survivor, it’s easy to understand the outrage.

A Heartfelt Moment Turns Controversial

During a recent address to Congress, former President Donald Trump honored 13-year-old Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel—a young cancer patient who has undergone over a dozen surgeries since being diagnosed with terminal brain and spine cancer in 2018. In an emotional moment, Trump named DJ an honorary Secret Service agent, praising his courage and lifelong dream of joining law enforcement.

The crowd erupted in cheers, chanting DJ’s name as his father lifted him high in the air—a rare, uplifting moment in Washington.

But not everyone was touched.

Wallace’s Comments Spark Outrage

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace shocked viewers with her reaction. While she began with well-wishes for DJ—“I hope he lives the life he wants to live”—she then pivoted sharply into a political commentary that left many stunned.

“I hope he never has to defend the U.S. Capitol against Donald Trump’s supporters,” Wallace said, referencing the January 6 Capitol riot. “And if he does, I hope he isn’t one of the six who lose their life to suicide.”

She continued by criticizing Trump, saying she hoped DJ wouldn’t someday “testify against those who committed acts of seditious conspiracy” only to watch Trump pardon them.

Leavitt Fires Back

Leavitt, 27, didn’t hold back during her press briefing the next day. “Nicolle Wallace disgustingly looped in a 13-year-old boy with brain cancer into an attack on the president,” she said. “It’s beyond the pale.”

She slammed the media for what she called “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” accusing journalists and Democrats of being so obsessed with criticizing Trump that they “can’t even pause to celebrate America or honor a brave child.”

Leavitt also took aim at CNN, pointing to a poll showing that 76% of Americans approved of Trump’s speech—directly contradicting mainstream media claims that the event was “divisive.”

No Apology, No Retraction

Despite mounting public backlash, Wallace returned to her MSNBC program the following day without addressing the controversy. Social media, however, exploded with calls for her to be fired.

“Leave the kids alone,” one viewer wrote. Another added: “This is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard someone say on TV.”

Wallace wasn’t alone in her critique—MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Joe Scarborough also took jabs at the event. But it was Wallace’s decision to link a terminally ill child to a deadly political riot that sparked the most fury.

DJ’s Legacy of Strength

DJ Daniel’s story has captured hearts nationwide. Diagnosed at just 6 years old and given five months to live, he’s beaten the odds year after year. His dream of joining law enforcement has led him to be sworn in by hundreds of agencies across the country.

Trump called DJ’s journey “a story of hope, courage, and strength,” and said giving him the honorary title of Secret Service agent was “the greatest honor of all.”

As his family continues to raise awareness for pediatric cancer, many see DJ as a symbol of resilience—and believe he deserves to be celebrated, not politicized.
