MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski said Monday on “Morning Joe” that he hopes NBC reconsiders its decision to hire former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
“Former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel appeared on Sunday’s ‘Meet the Press’ for the first time since NBC News hired her as a political analyst,” said co-host Joe Scarborough. It was my first performance,” he said. Throughout the weekend, calls poured in about NBC’s decision to hire Ron McDaniel. We learned about this in the news on Friday. No input was sought regarding recruitment. If we were, we would be guilty of several crimes including, but not limited to, her role in Donald Trump’s fake electorate scheme and her pressure on election officials not to certify the election results. It was strongly opposed for these reasons. ”
Brzezinski said, “What she said there explains exactly what we’re saying and why we feel the way we do. I mean, we’re all conservatives. “It means I support NBC News, which is looking for a strong Republican voice.” We need it to balance all of our coverage, including election coverage. But it has to be a conservative Republican, not someone who used his position of power to deny an anti-democratic election. Needless to say, she will not be making a guest appearance on Morning Joe in her capacity as a paid contributor, and we hope this decision is reversed. ”
