Wallace Predicts 'Something Really Bad' After Trump Gag Order Request Amid Threats

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace predicted "something really bad is going to happen" after the Trump gag order request.
Special counsel Jack Smith asked for a gag order to stop Trump's "disparaging and inflammatory" public statements.
Wallace said Trump "inspires others to perpetrate threats and harassment against his targets."
She pointed to a recent Fox News interview that had to "veer away" due to threats.
Charlie Sykes said the gag order is important given the threats, and 2024 could be "horrific."
