“You can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep, or in the case of the twice impeached, disgraced and now impeached former president, the people they praise loudly on Fox News.” Wallace said Wednesday.
He showed viewers a clip from Trump’s Fox News interview, which aired on Tuesday. “Everyone is from the front lines,” Trump said of Chinese President Xi Jinping, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin. “Our man is not top of the line, he never was,” he added, referring to the president. Joe Biden.
Trump also called Xi a “brilliant man” and praised Kim and Putin as “very smart.”
Laughing out loud, Wallace said: “I don’t even know where to start. No one called you top of the line. Ever!”
The MSNBC host noted that she normally avoids amplifying Trump or Fox News, but said this rhetoric provided important context about recent Republican-led efforts to eliminate abortion rights, implement voter suppression laws and silence dissent in the Tennessee state legislature.
“It is important to understand that they are not bodily functions. They are not belching politics at random. They are following their leader, who is following the world’s most egregious authoritarians,” Wallace said. “And we show them that to show them how dangerous their rhetoric is.”
“He’s a jerk, on top of everything else,” he added later. “And he sounds like an idiot.”
