Former Bush communications director did not hold back as she excoriated Trump. But she also had choice words for the women in his administration and others. She singularly had the best and most cogent response.
Donald Trump likely did not expect the reaction he got from the misogynistic tweet he wrote against Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski. Trump recently sent the following tweet in response to Mika ‘insulting’ him on Morning Joe.

The response was swift as both Republicans and Democrats condemned the Trump tweets. Nicolle Wallace provided the most insightful admonishment.
Nicolle Wallace was not kind to Trump
“Before I open this up to my table, a couple thoughts,” said Wallace. “One, as a former communications director, there is a single press strategy for this White House. It is called an apology. Two, as a woman who was fortunate enough to work in the White House as a public servant, all the women collecting paychecks from the U.S. taxpayers, Dina Powell, Kellyanne Conway, Elaine Chao, Betsy DeVos, you should all go on the record and condemn your boss’ comments. And you should work behind the scenes to educate him about just how offensive they are. Three, as one who once proudly called myself a Republicans, the party will permanently be associated with misogyny if leaders don’t stand up and demand a retraction. And finally, most importantly as a mother of a son, I ask any woman who’s defending these comments, how they plan to raise good men if the most powerful man in the world gets away with this.”
MSNBC responded to the president’s tweet with the following message.
It’s a sad day for America when the president spends his time bullying, lying and spewing petty personal attacks instead of doing his job.

It seems Republicans will not come out against this no matter what he does. As Wallace implied, the Republican Party will ultimately pay a price for said cowardice.
