MSNBC’s
Nicolle Wallace said on Friday that President
Donald Trump had “greenlit a war” around race in the United States.
The host of “Deadline: White House” aired audio of conservative lawyer Joe diGenova telling
Fox News host Laura Ingraham on her podcast earlier in the week that “
we are in a civil war in this country”
Wallace agreed with diGenova’s assertion in a lengthy panel discussion on the arrest of a lieutenant in the U.S. Coast Guard who is
accused of plotting a terror attack on leading Democrats and journalists.
“But I think the conversation on race, it’s not even a conversation anymore, it’s what Joe diGenova said it was, it’s a war,” Wallace explained, claiming that Trump had “permitted” and “greenlit a war in this country around race.”
“And if you think about the most dangerous thing he’s done, that might be it,” she added.
