MSNBC Host Nicolle Wallace Suffers Massive Decline in Viewership Following DJ Daniel Remarks
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace has made herself the target of intense backlash following her heartless comments about 13-year-old cancer survivor DJ Daniel after he appeared as a guest at President Donald Trump’s recent congressional address this week.
Wallace made the remarks not long after Daniel was honored by President Donald Trump and made an honorary U.S. Secret Service agent on Tuesday, saying, “But I hope he never has to defend the U.S. Capitol against Donald Trump’s supporters. And if he does, I hope he isn’t one of the six who loses his life to suicide.”
“And I hope he isn’t one who has to testify against the ones who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and lived to see Donald Trump pardon those people,” Wallace added.Watch
Wallace’s remarks drew enormous backlash, with many calling them disrespectful and inappropriate.
President Trump called Wallace’s comments “disgraceful” and demanded her resignation, arguing that using a sick child to take political shots was unacceptable.
Unsurprisingly, Wallace’s remarks have now added to her declining viewership.
The program had already seen a 35% decline in viewership after Trump’s victory, averaging just 1 million viewers per day.
Wallace’s audience among the highly coveted 25-54 demographic also saw a massive decrease, dropping from 144,000 per day before the election to just 93,000.
Wallace’s decline in the key demo has caused concern among advertisers, who typically rely on high viewership to sell commercial spots.

Meanwhile, MSNBC executives fired most of co-host Rachel Maddow’s production team as part of the network’s broader restructuring efforts.
Earlier this week, Maddow also came under fire after she called Trump “disgusting” for honoring a 13-year-old cancer survivor.

“For the record—and this is disgusting—the President made a spectacle out of praising a young man who thus far survived pediatric cancer, as if the President had something to do with that,” Maddow said.Watch:
Democrats also refused to applaud DJ Daniel after he was made an honorary Secret Service agent during Trump’s address.
Daniel received a standing ovation while the majority of Democrats remained seated, stern-faced, and refused to applaud.
