On Sunday, Wallace slammed the Trump campaign for flouting the debate rules by not wearing coronavirus face masks.
Everyone in the crowd at the debate wore masks with the notable exceptions of Trump's guests and the First Family.
Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Wallace said: 'The rules from the Cleveland Clinic could not have been more clear.
'Everyone, everyone in the audience was to wear a mask. After the first family came in, they all took off their masks.

'So did the White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Do they think that the health and safety rules for everybody else do not apply to them?
'Everyone in that room was tested. The Cleveland Clinic regulation was, it didn’t matter. Everyone except for the three of us onstage was to wear a mask.'
Several members of Trump's inner circle have since tested positive for coronavirus, including top White House aide Hope Hicks, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien and RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
Former Governor Chris Christie checked into the hospital over the weekend after participating in the President's debate preparation.

Donald Trump will continue taking a cocktail of drugs to combat Covid-19 while he fights the virus from the comfort of the White House.
The president received oxygen on Friday in the White House, and medics will be ready in case he needs it again.
He also, on Friday, begun a course of remdesivir - an antiviral drug administered intravenously, which was first developed as a treatment for Ebola.
He had his fourth dose on Monday night at Walter Reed, and will have his fifth and final dose at the White House.
