NBC Chuck Todd Gives Blistering Attack on own Network Hiring Former GOP Ronna McDaniel

The NBC folks have their knickers in a knot over the hiring of Ronna McDaniel. As if NBC does not have enough problems with credibility, they decide to mull over the treachery of their boss in public.

McDaniel started out her new career with a Sunday interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” — the network where she is now a paid contributor.

Ronna tried in her debut… apparently not enough to satisfy her new colleagues. 

“I want to be very clear. The violence that happened on January 6 is unacceptable. It doesn’t represent our country. It certainly does not represent my party,” McDaniel told interviewer and co-worker Kristen Welker.

“If you attacked our Capitol and you have been abused and you’ve been convicted, then that should stay,” McDaniel continued.

The fact that Ronna has her own horse to ride, and is no doubt planning to be a turncoat on Trump,  dishing out the juice on on him is not enough for her colleagues. At least that is the hope of her NBC boss. Why else hire her?

Oh the strange bedfellows in politics. But this one is hard to understand, or perhaps we are being played in the Sunday morning ratings war. 

Oh wait… I think I have it…… strange indeed. CNN pitches into the fray, looking for some eyeballs. Chuck Todd as the righteous indignant newsman. Ethics the man said..Ah, it’s deep.

Gateway Pundit has an expanded readout.

…The blistering rebuke of her hiring did not stop there. Todd went on to say that many of his colleagues are upset that she has been hired.

“Look, there’s a reason why there’s a lot of journalists at NBC News are uncomfortable with this,” Todd said. “Because many of our professional dealings with the RNC over the last six years have been met with gaslighting, have been met with character assassination.”

“When NBC made the decision to give her NBC News’ credibility, you got to ask yourself, what does she bring NBC News?” Todd asked. “And when we make deals like this, and I’ve been at this company a long time, you’re doing it for access. Access to audience. Sometimes it’s access to an individual. And we can have a journalistic ethics debate about that. And I’m willing to have that debate. And if you told me we were hiring her as a technical adviser to the Republican convention, I think that would be certainly defensible. If you told me we’re we’re talking to her, but let’s see how she does in some interviews and maybe vet her with actual journalists inside the network to see if it’s a two-way, what she can bring the network.”

Todd continued, “So I do think, unfortunately, this interview was always going to be looked through the prism of who is she speaking for? I think you did everything you could do. You got put into an impossible situation booking this interview, and then all of a sudden, the rug pulled out from under you. You find out she’s being paid to show up.”

As if Chuckie and his colleagues have not been in the tank for the Dems…. and the thought of another point of view sends the shivers to them.

So what did Ronna Ronna Ronna bring to the table in this dastardly interview?

WATCH: Ronna McDaniel Comes Out Against Trump’s Promise to Free January 6 Prisoners

Former Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel joins Meet the Press exclusively to discuss former President Donald Trump’s promise to free those charged and convicted of crimes related to January 6th if re-elected. So reads the video notes… at the time of the interview it was not revealed that she was a paid worker bee for NBC so the claims goes.

McDaniel said she only spoke out now because she didn’t want to disagree with Trump while leading the RNC. Sure. Here is the whole sordid contentious mess and full interview of her. She gives her pitches of what is to be….

The best of the swamp.
