Nicolle Wallace Blasts Trump’s MS NOW White House Ban: ‘Authoritarian in Nature’
"He wants people to be afraid to cover him aggressively," the "Deadline: White House" host says The post Nicolle Wallace Blasts Trump’s MS NOW White House Ban: ‘Authoritarian in Nature’ appeared first on TheWrap .
Nicolle Wallace, during her appearance on MS NOW, criticized President Trump's announcement to ban reporters from three specific news outlets from the White House press pool. Wallace described the president's actions as "authoritarian in nature and wrong on the law." She questioned the reasoning behind Trump's decision, linking it to the media's apparent reluctance to aggressively cover him.
Wallace cited recent reporting from outlets not previously targeted by Trump, such as a Fox News poll showing 71% of voters disapprove of his economic handling and The Wall Street Journal's coverage of Iran. Trump's ban, she argued, aimed to discourage negative reporting from those still allowed into the White House—potentially an intentional intimidation tactic.
Wallace emphasized the First Amendment's protection of the press and called Trump's move a breach of constitutional principles. She questioned why no one had intervened when Trump attempted to remove half of the journalists who continue to cover him aggressively.
