Nicolle Wallace: ‘My Reaction to the End of ‘The ReidOut’ Is Despair’

EXCERPT:

WALLACE: “And that I think that I thought that things like that on TV couldn’t be real, but that the friendships that have sustained me have been with both of you. And I am, you know, it’s like losing a limb, the thought of doing those nights without you. Your strength and your fearlessness is the answer to the question I think you’re getting at with both of us. And I think that my reaction to the end of the ReidOut and your departure is despair. And the only thing that chips away at that for me is that despair is the autocrat’s tool. It’s their most effective weapon. It costs nothing, it’s easy to deploy, it’s contagious. And then it puts in motion all the actions they want. Hopelessness, isolation, exasperation, giving up. And so, the only reason I will not wallow in what I feel about you leaving is because I think that’s what they want.”
