‘Inexplicable': Rachel Maddow Goes On 29-Minute Tear After NBC Hires Ronna McDaniel
HuffPost
The MSNBC host likened the hiring of the former Republican National Committee chair to installing a “mobster to work at the DA’s office.”
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said Monday that it was “inexplicable” her network had hired former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel, joining a chorus of program hosts and reporters who have condemned the decision.
NBC announced last week it had hired McDaniel after she stepped down from the helm of the national Republican Party in February. Outrage over her hiring filled the network’s own airtime as high-profile journalists, including Chuck Todd, pointed to her active role in supporting former President Donald Trump’s election fraud conspiracy theories.
Maddow agreed, likening the hiring to installing a “mobster to work at the DA’s office.”
“I want to associate myself with all my colleagues, both at MSNBC and NBC News, who have voiced loud and principled objections to our company putting on the payroll someone who has not just attacked us as journalists, but is part of an ongoing project to get rid of our system of government,” Maddow said during an impassioned 29-minute monologue Monday night.
“The fact that McDaniel is on the payroll at NBC News, to me that is inexplicable,” she continued.
