Fox News
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow kicked off her show Monday night by addressing the "inexplicable" decision of NBC to hire former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel as a political analyst.
"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 hasn't just attacked us as journalists but someone who is part of an ongoing project to get rid of our system of government," Maddow told viewers Monday.

""[Trump] would have been as forgotten as all the rest of them had he not been able to attach himself to an institution like the Republican Party, and had the leader of that party in his time not decided that she wouldn't just abide him- she would help. She would help with the worst of it," Maddow said.
