NBC News is reportedly planning to fire former
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna
McDaniel after many top on-air hosts at MSNBC lambasted
the network for its decision to hire her last week.
 
“NBC NEWS plans to drop ex RNC-chair Ronna McDaniel as a
paid contributor following on-air revolt from NBC/MSNBC
talent,” said Puck News reporter Dylan Byers. “Execs are
deliberating over details; announcement pending.
Meanwhile, McDaniel is seeking legal representation.”
 
The move comes after many of MSNBC’s top stars publicly
attacked NBC News on their shows this week for hiring
McDaniel, claiming that she was dishonest.
 
Some notable examples of MSNBC hosts who attacked their
network included:
 
• Joe Scarborough: “We weren’t asked our opinion of the
hiring, but if we were, we would have strongly objected
to it for several reasons.”
 
• Mika Brzezinski: “We hope NBC will reconsider its
decision.”
 
• Chuck Todd: “Look, there’s a reason why there’s a lot
of journalists at NBC News are uncomfortable with this.
Because many of our professional dealings with the RNC
over the last six years have been met with gaslighting,
have been met with character assassination.”
 
• Nicolle Wallace: “NBC News, either wittingly or
unwittingly, is teaching election deniers that what they
can do stretches well beyond appearing on our air and
interviews to peddle lies about the sanctity and
integrity of our elections, which Ronna McDaniel did on
yesterday’s ‘Meet the Press’… and they can do that as
one of us, as badge-carrying employees of NBC News, as
paid contributors to our sacred airwaves.”
 
• Rachel Maddow: “The fact that Ms. McDaniel is on the
payroll at NBC News – to me that is inexplicable.”
 
• Jen Psaki: “To quote Liz Cheney, Ronna facilitated
Trump’s corrupt fake elector and his effort to pressure
Michigan officials not to certify the legitimate
election outcome. She spread his lies and called January
6th ‘legitimate political discourse.’ Look, this isn’t
about Republicans versus Democrats. This isn’t about red
versus blue. This is about truth versus lies. Service to
the country versus service to one man committed to
toppling our democratic system.”
 
• Lawrence O’Donnell: “MSNBC will not use Ronna McDaniel
as a political analyst. But I do have a few questions
for her whenever she might want to come on this program.
And I’ll make it easy for her. I’ll tell her the
questions ahead of time. My first question would be, why
did you change your name for Donald Trump? Before Trump
ran for president, her name was Ronna Romney McDaniel.
How does that feel, to change her name to curry favor
with the madman because he doesn’t like your uncle? How
did you explain that to your kids? What lesson did your
kids learn from that?”

 
And this is a big issue why?
 
I seem to remember that Hillary Rodham *added* Clinton
to her moniker long after marriage. She had claimed that
she kept her maiden name to honor her father, yet that
got dropped once some people seemed to think she needed
to use the Clinton name once Bubba made it to the big
time in politics.

 
She also claimed to be named after Sir Edmund Hillary,
until he called her a liar to her fat, ugly face.

Yep, I remember that well. And enjoyed having her called
on it. :)

Nyssa, who never understood why so many women in politics
seem to use three names when most of us get along fine
with just two

 
 

Nyssa, who figured if Hils really really wanted to
honor her father by using her maiden name if taking
on the Clinton name shows she honors Bill more than
her dad now
