In an emotional statement, MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace has bizarrely claimed that President Donald Trump is plotting to end freedom of the press as part of his so-called “attack on democracy” if re-elected.
During the opening of her show “Deadline: White House,” Wallace warned “the real threat looms larger.”
She claims that Trump is also planning to end “all of our freedoms and for the rule of law itself.”
Not only did Wallace make the allegations with a straight face, but she also appeared to grow increasingly emotional.
The left-wing host unloaded in her fearmongering statement while recapping Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
At the lavish event, Democrat President Joe Biden told the press to remember “what’s at stake” in the November election.
The annual dinner for media elites had a “dark undercurrent” this year, Wallace said.
She claims the media is fearing the threat of a Trump re-election looming.
“The annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner is one of the symptoms, one of the signs of a healthy, functioning democracy,” she began.
“It’s a coming together and, at its core, the president doing everything right celebrates and honors the free press.
“Behind the levity, though, there was something darker, a darker undercurrent, if you will, and a point that the president had to make.
“And it was more profoundly serious.”
“Because at this exact time next year, depending on what happens in November, seven months from now, we can’t say for certain that there would even be a White House Correspondents’ Dinner or even a free press or even a White House press corps. Right?
“You don’t have to have one,” Wallace continued.
“Could be another norm Trump blows up.”
After playing a clip of Biden warning the assembled journalists about Trump’s “attack on our democracy,” Wallace appeared to grow emotional.
“I’ve seen that toast a bunch of times, but it landed very differently this year,” Wallace said.
“Because depending on what happens in November, seven months from right now, this time next year, I might not be sitting here.
“There might not be a White House Correspondents’ Dinner or free press,” the MSNBC host said.
“And while our democracy won’t exactly fall apart immediately without it, the real threat looms larger.
“A candidate with outward disdain not just for a free press, but for all of our freedoms and for the rule of law itself.”

Wallace’s comments echoed the Democratic National Committee’s warning that the White House Correspondents’ Dinner could end if Trump returns to the White House.
The Trump campaign fired back at Wallace’s remarks in a statement.
Trump Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung said:
“The only things that will end her show are her s—-y ratings and the temper tantrums she has during her segments,.
“She has a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome and is in desperate need of medical care.”
