MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace compared former President Donald Trump to the fictional serial killer “Dexter” during Tuesday’s broadcast of “Deadline: White House.”

Wallace used the comparison to attack former Republican House Speaker John Boehner — who admitted that he had voted for Trump — and argued that as long as there were people willing to support Trump, the Republican Party was beyond saving.

WATCH:

Wallace mentioned former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who was very critical of former President Trump after the Capitol riot on January 6, and her recent comments indicating she would not run against Trump in 2024 if he chose to run.

“I used to watch ‘Dexter,’ Michael Steele, and it was like, he would be such a good boyfriend if he wasn’t a killer. This is the sickness of the Republican Party,” Wallace said. “The sickness isn’t actually anyone with the last name Trump. The sickness is John Boehner, who’s, like, well, yeah, I liked his positions on regulation so I voted for an insurrectionist liar, corrupt guy who was suspiciously cozy with Vladimir Putin. The Republican Party cannot be fixed with people like John Boehner voting for Donald Trump in 2020.”

“How does the party lay any claim to the mantle of strong leadership when they’re so pathetically weak?” Wallace asked. “They’re hostages to the guy who incited an insurrection. In the words of Liz Cheney.”

“Well, they’re not only hostages to the guy who incited the riot,” former RNC chairman Michael Steele replied. “They’re hostile to the folks who are standing up and saying, ‘Dude, that’s not what you want to do. That’s not where you want to go. You don’t want to follow him, you know? Danger, will Robinson, danger.’ You know?”

Steele went on to say that it wasn’t enough to be critical of Trump if people still supported him, adding, “It’s like McConnell, you know, giving that great speech after he voted to acquit the guy. Well, you don’t acquit the guy and then go, ‘Yeah, he actually did it.'”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
