'My job cost me my only child': MSNBC host tears up as judge recounts son's killing
Raw StoryMSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace teared up on her show Tuesday afternoon as a federal judge talked about the 2020 killing of her son, who was shot dead by a gunman posing as a FedEx delivery driver in an attack meant for the judge. Salas joined Wallace's show "Deadline: White House" on Tuesday afternoon after the Trump administration got a sharp rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts, who called impeachment calls for judges "not an appropriate response to any disagreement with any judge's decision." Salas said her and her son's story should serve as a "reminder" to Americans that "words matter" — and that there are "unintended consequences that I bet when some people are saying things they don't mean to happen." She recounted her son's killing and said she worries "we forget how much influence our leaders have" — specifically, "people in positions of power that have big platforms." Salas later added: "I have to live with the fact that my job cost me the life of my only child" and demanded America's leaders do more to lead.
