[See NewsBusters for more.] Proving just how juvenile the network can be when it comes to personal insults against Republicans, MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday appeared delighted at Nancy Pelosi’s attacks on Donald Trump’s weight, cheering that “the country has a new straight talker.” Rather than even question whether it’s helpful for bipartisanship to call the President “morbidly obese,” Wallace justified it. Wallace tossed this softball: “What you said is actually something that can be corroborated in the White House’s release of the President’s last physical, which is that his weight does qualify him as being morbidly obese. Is that what you are saying or did you know it would elicit this kind of reaction from the President?”
