NBC Gets Slapped Hard For Hiring Trump Enabler Ronna McDaniel

By Heather — March 23, 2024

The hiring of serial liar, election denier and Trump enabler Ronna Don't-Call-Me-Romney McDaniel by NBC News was met with some pretty hysterical and appropriately snide responses across social media.

Sadly, I'm certain it won't make the network blink an eye about their hiring decision.

As Driftglass discussed here already, hiring Republicans who should not be allowed to pollute our airways ever again is a feature, and not a bug over at NBC/MSNBC.

Here are some of the better responses to this debacle that came across in my Xitter feed after the news of her hire broke.

Apparently, Sidney Powell was unavailable so MSNBC had to settle for Ronna McDaniel.

Honest question for @NBCNews: what gives you the impression Ronna McDaniel will be an honest broker of political news and opinion? Will we get an explanation for why you're doing business with a dishonest Trump disciple who wasn't even good at her job? Anyone?

This is what media complicity with fascism looks like. NBC is paying a co-conspirator in the Jan. 6 insurrection to keep deceiving the American people. pic.twitter.com/iPHYR6lmnt

This announcement from NBC News makes me wonder if everybody's drunk over there. #WTF

Fun fact: NBC’s new hire Ronna McDaniel censured Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for serving on the House Jan. 6 select committee, which the resolution called a "persecution of ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse."

As a longtime Ronna McDaniel observer, I give my opinion on NBC/MSNBC hiring her as a political commentator heading into the 2024 elections, giving the middle finger to their audience in the process. I include 14 repulsive clips. https://t.co/o7h7SITBOS

For some inexplicable reason, NBC has decided that Trump sycophant Ronna McDaniel is the best person to provide useful and insightful commentary heading into the elections. Here are 14 of some of her most repulsive moments. https://t.co/w7qsWWMSt4

It seems that after George Santos, the QAnon Shaman, and Alex Jones turned them down, ⁦@NBCNews⁩ and ⁦@MSNBC⁩ settled on their fourth choice.

From Threads:

I guess what the Ronna McDaniel hire shows us is that anyone can go all in on Trump’s corruption and lies, say and do anything in service to the cult master, and TV media will still welcome them with open arms and reward them for it. You are a lost and broken enterprise.

Maybe before Ronna McDaniel gets a new job, we should wait to see if she gets indicted for her old one.
