MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace responded with incredulity to Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) demand that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) play nice with former President Donald Trump.
Graham, during a widely ridiculed interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday, declared that “if you want to be a Republican leader in the House or the Senate, you have to have a working relationship” with Trump.
On Thursday, “Deadline: White House” host Wallace ripped Graham for worshiping Trump and throwing McConnell “under the bus.”
Graham essentially told McConnell that “it’s time to kiss and make up with an insurrectionist if you want to remain the leader,” she said.
“What is a working relationship with the de-platformed, under-criminal-investigation loser even look like? What’s that even mean?” Wallace, who served as White House communications director under former President George W. Bush and has since called herself a “self-loathing former Republican,” later asked.
