Ronna McDaniel, Former R.N.C. Chair, Joins NBC News

While MSNBC was quick to say - amid blowback - that Ronna McDaniel won’t be appearing on any of THEIR programs on air in some sort of failed appeasement effort to deflect from the fact that NBC hired her at all, what’s been glossed over is what she WILL be doing.

According to the NYT: Ms. McDaniel will be especially involved in the coverage of the 2024 campaign, including election nights.

How convenient. What could possibly go wrong?

McDaniel’s hire was to the delight of NBC’s Senior VP of Meet the Press (that turned out great) and now Senior VP of Politics at the network, Carrie Budoff Brown. According to Brown, “It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team.”

If that voice is an election denying sycophant…I guess.

Brown went on to say that McDaniel, “as a longtime Michigan resident, she’ll be an important voice from one of this year’s key battlegrounds.”

Exactly how Ronna McDaniel’s voice (one that pushed the Big Lie) will be important in a key battleground state in an election year when democracy (the very one that the GOP Presidential nominee has tried to subvert at every opportunity) is literally on the ballot, is the question…

The pushback is getting louder and louder. I predict that she does not survive another week and will add a side prop that the person behind this ludicrous hire will have a new title (demotion) within 3 months.

Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel is doomed to fail outside of the Fox/Newsmax bubble. She's another Megyn Kelly. Once you get past the talking points you only have more talking points.

I truly don't get what she adds to the table for NBC. She had a poor record as RNC chair, and ultimately got kicked to the curb by Trump despite years of full-fledged ass-kissing by her.

Maybe as an occasional guest during election coverage, but not someone worthy of regular appearances.

Money. You need a heel to make money.

Quality Meet the Press retrospective and “Both Sides” Chuck Todd talking some sense for once

Also

- mentions the upstate NY newsman who discovered FDR and went on to manage his campaigns for governor and president.

- the futility of trying to interview “TRUMP Liars”

- why did she change her name for Don Poorleone?

Nailed it! My second prediction will be true as well.

There is absolutely nothing right about MAGA unless you're a regressive racist anti-democratic autocratic seditionist who hates our country and its constitution.

It was a terrible mistake to hire her, and unfortunately they've given her victim status for a news cycle.
I was kind of looking forward to her getting pounded on TV. They should have pulled out her contract and told her she'd be in breach if she didn't go on Nicole Wallace's show.

Good. And interesting how much pull the anchors have. But shouldn't have come to that, this was a stupid business move.

 

[binsfeldcyhawk2]

Predictable course of events.

She isn't fit to discuss political issues. She participated in the Insurrection.

Ronna McDaniel, who stepped down as chairwoman of the Republican National Committee this month, is joining NBC News as an on-air contributor, the network said on Friday.
The hire adds a reliably conservative voice to NBC’s stable of political analysts. Ms. McDaniel is also expected to provide commentary on MSNBC, NBC’s left-leaning cable cousin and a network that former President Donald J. Trump and his allies often accuse of being an arm of the Democratic Party.
“It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team,” Carrie Budoff Brown, who oversees NBC News political coverage, wrote in a memo, adding that Ms. McDaniel would provide “an insider’s perspective on national politics and the future of the Republican Party.” Ms. McDaniel will be especially involved in the coverage of the 2024 campaign, including election nights.

She was selected by Mr. Trump to lead the Republican Party after she spearheaded his 2016 presidential campaign victory in Michigan. As party chairwoman, she occasionally clashed with Mr. Trump. Last year, he complained about her decision to sponsor multiple Republican presidential primary debates, one of which was hosted by NBC, with Mr. Trump’s rivals.

In February, Ms. McDaniel urged Republicans to unite behind Mr. Trump after his victory in the New Hampshire primary, irking Nikki Haley, his rival who had not yet dropped out of the race. Mr. Trump has since installed his daughter-in-law and a close adviser to lead the R.N.C., tightening his hold over the party.
Other prominent Republican commentators at NBC News include Marc Short, who served as chief of staff to former Vice President Mike Pence, and Brendan Buck, a former top aide to Paul Ryan and John Boehner. Since the start of the Biden administration, MSNBC has hired Jen Psaki, President Biden’s first press secretary, and Symone D. Sanders, a former chief spokeswoman for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Ms. McDaniel’s NBC debut will be on this Sunday’s edition of “Meet the Press.”
