Chuck Todd rips NBC News for hiring former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel

Former "Meet the Press" moderator Chuck Todd blasted the network for hiring former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel as a paid political analyst. During her first appearance on "Meet The Press," McDaniel called the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol "unacceptable" after years of deflecting on the issue. #CNN #News

Let me get this straight, NBC cancels Mehdi Hasan, a great journalist, and hires Rona McDaniel, who doesn’t have journalism experience and gave her stamp of approval of Trump and the insurrection. That leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

NBC should admit their mistake and get rid of Rona McDaniel immediately!

Whoever hired Ronna McDaniel should be fired, immediately. If your judgement is that horrible, you don't deserve to be in charge of a hotdog stand more or less a news organization. Hiring someone like Ronna to be in the media after she spent the last 6yrs lying about the media in general, but particularly about your journalists, is absurdly shortsighted. She doesn't deserve to "turn the page" the second she steps down at the RNC & just act like "all is forgiven" & nothing happened the last 6yrs #ByeFelicia

“I was lying then, but you can trust me now.”

Um, no.
NBC, you done yourself a mischief, as the Aussies say.

I've lost respect for NBC. Shame on the network!

[sandymaceecampers]

We all need to boycot NBC. What a disaterous

[Bangaloo]

Ronna should not be on NBC. She is a liar. I'm with Chuck Todd, she doesn't need to be on there. She isn't trust worthy.

[LightsOn]

Thank you Todd. You are saying exactly what we are thinking!!!

[dorothydietrich]

She clearly cannot be trusted to tell the truth.

I'm 76 years old and I've been a realist all my life, until now. All this stuff going on over the past few years is so absurd, it makes the entire world and all it's history seem like a farce.

NBC news hired her She's horrible

[temporarystranger]

Chuck is 100% correct. Hiring a gaslighter like McDaniel is a disgrace. It’s one thing hiring somebody to give an alternate point of view, but McDaniel is a documented liar.

[laurellarose]

Good for Chuck & others - Rona has proven that she will say anything based on who is paying her - shame on NBC!

[susanharrison]

Thanks Oliver. What a shameful decision by NBC

[I_L_W_]

Ronna was cagey in that interview, playing both sides. Does not exactly lead to trust. Poor move by NBC.

[emillion]

Hey Lady! How about taking one for the constitution instead of your party for a change.

[t.d]

I have TOTALLY LOST RESPECT for NBC that they hired her!!!

[cindykeith]

Ronna is a disgrace. Get her off of NBC now.

[bettychilds]

Chuck is right! Big mistake NBC! She has zero credibility. And I question NBC brass for even considering this. Again, big mistake!!!

[goodtroublemaker]

McDaniel should be under indictment, not on MSNBC
