*Rachel Maddow, the host of MSNBC’s prime time show (“The Rachel Maddow Show”), strongly criticized her own network for hiring Ronna McDaniel, the former Chair of the Republican National Committee, as a political commentator. Maddow called the decision to have McDaniel on the payroll at NBC News “inexplicable,” comparing it to hiring a mobster to work in a DA’s office or a pickpocket as a TA screener.
The announcement of McDaniel’s hiring has sparked backlash within the network, with well-known hosts and anchors openly revolting against the decision.
Maddow expressed her hope that NBC News would reverse their choice to hire McDaniel, particularly highlighting her involvement in former President Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Maddow emphasized that the issue at hand is not about party politics but about protecting democracy and the system of government. She urged NBC News and its parent company to show strength by admitting the mistake of hiring McDaniel and ending their agreement with her.
Several other prominent hosts and personalities on the network (Lawrence O’Donnell, Nicolle Wallace, Jen Psaki, and Joy Reid.) joined Maddow in criticizing leadership over the hiring of McDaniel, underlining the importance of holding those who undermine democracy accountable. Maddow urged unity in addressing the mistake and emphasized the need for strength in upholding democracy during these challenging times.
