According to reports, NBC News is said to be considering parting ways with Ronna McDaniel, the former chair of the Republican National Committee, who is now in search of legal representation. Puck News has stated that NBC NEWS is planning to remove Ronna McDaniel from her role as a paid contributor, following objections from NBC/MSNBC talent. The executives are currently deliberating the specifics, and an official announcement is expected soon. Meanwhile, McDaniel is actively seeking legal counsel.

This development arises as employees of NBC News and MSNBC expressed concerns regarding McDaniel’s previous support for former President Donald Trump. Some individuals have stated that they are unwilling to associate themselves with her, as they question the credibility of both NBC News and MSNBC, given their history of promoting conspiracy theories over the years.

“The issue isn’t about ideology, it’s about basic truth,” NBC News Chief Political Analyst Chuck Todd posted on X. “Those trying to make this a left-right issue are being intentionally dishonest. This is about whether honest journalists are supposed to lend their credibility to someone who intentionally tried to ruin ours.”

MSNBC’s radical-left host Rachel Maddow went on a rant about NBC’s new hire:

“[I] want to associate myself with all my colleagues both at MSNBC and at NBC News who have voiced loud and principled objections to our company putting on the payroll someone who hasn’t just attacked us as journalists, but someone who is part of an ongoing project to get rid of our system of government, someone who still is trying to convince Americans that this election stuff, it doesn’t really work, that this last election, it wasn’t a real result, that American elections are fraudulent. Because that argument, that is a necessary part, that is the most necessary part of the overall project of getting us as Americans to give up on this election stuff, because wouldn’t we rather have a real man in charge anyway, somebody who could really get some stuff done, if only we could clear away all the things in his way? We have a long history in this country of forgettable men telling us that we need a new system of government where everything is under their control, and politics is over, and this new strongman way of government is going to make America great again. We have had a lot of these guys.”
