MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace torched cable news competitor CNN for its apparent hypocrisy on Thursday, wondering how the network can justify platforming Donald Trump’s “misogynistic attacks” so soon after firing anchor Don Lemon for his own allegedly sexist behavior.
During Wednesday night’s town hall with Trump, CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins—once Lemon’s co-host—was subjected to personal attacks, including the ex-president calling her a “nasty person.” Additionally, just a day after he was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, Trump called her a “wack job” while still denying he knew the famed columnist. Carroll, meanwhile, is considering a new defamation suit over his CNN remarks.
Wallace began her Thursday afternoon broadcast by contrasting CNN’s town hall—which featured the twice-impeached former president spewing election fraud lies—with Fox News’ recent settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over its promotion of 2020 election conspiracies.
