in World News Father of Young Cancer Survivor DJ Daniel: ‘Rachel Maddow Needs to Shut Her Mouth’
by
The father of Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, a 13-year-old cancer survivor from Texas, has shot back at far-left MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow.
Young DJ was made an honorary U.S. Secret Service agent during President Donald Trump’s congressional address on Tuesday.
The moment was met with admiration across the country.
However, the moment, which should have been unifying, triggered a backlash from the Left.
Maddow took it a step further, however, calling Trump “disgusting” for highlighting DJ’s battle with cancer.
Rachel Maddow is an evil witch.
She mocked DJ Daniel, the 13-year-old who has been fighting for his life, just because Trump made him an honorary USSS Agent.

DJ’s father, Theodis Daniel, had strong words for Maddow’s remarks.
“She needs to shut her mouth if she has nothing nice to say,” Theodis told The Post.
“This lady didn’t even serve time in the military.
“I was on the USS Kitty Hawk.
“She does not need to put her bad energy on us.”
DJ’s story has inspired many decent Americans, meanwhile.
His recognition by Trump marked another milestone in his long-standing connection with law enforcement.
The honor was made official when Secret Service Director Sean Curran swore him in as an honorary agent.
Last year, young DJ Daniel was harassed and made fun of by a group of people because of his police outfit.

Theodis Daniel described how his son was invited to the event.
“The White House reached out to us and said that President Trump wants to meet Devarjaye,” he said.
“They flew us out, and FBI agents picked us up at the airport.”
Before Trump’s speech, DJ had the opportunity to meet border czar Tom Homan and was escorted to a prime seat in the audience.
