To the NBC HR department, did you by some chance do a background check on this person

because maybe, just maybe you could have called this person to find out if she should have been hired.........but you can fire 13 Union journalists right for cause.....but hire a fascist loving supporter of one "guy" that should have and should be in jail awaiting trial for espionage.......and she was right in the middle of the MI election BS...........to throw out votes............

Liz Cheney: controversial NBC hire Ronna McDaniel enabled Trump ‘depravity’

The Republican National Committee chair turned NBC politics analyst Ronna McDaniel “enabled criminality and depravity” in her support for Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, the former congresswoman Liz Cheney said as controversy swirled over McDaniel’s media role.

“Ronna facilitated Trump’s corrupt fake elector plot and his effort to pressure Michigan officials not to certify the legitimate election outcome,” Cheney, a Republican who was vice-chair of the House January 6 committee, wrote on social media.

“She spread his lies and called January 6 ‘legitimate political discourse’. That’s not ‘taking one for the team’. It’s enabling criminality and depravity.”

Ronna Romney McDaniel.

I hope her uncle Mitt RMoney Romney is pleased with her. Of course he was also trying to eviscerate democracy in the name of Capital.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronna_McDaniel

During McDaniel's tenure as chair of the RNC, the Republican Party had a net loss of eight governorships, four seats in the United States Senate, and 20 seats in the House of Representatives, and the presidency. In December 2022, Axios wrote that McDaniel "has thus far failed to preside over a single positive election cycle."[1]

A granddaughter of Michigan Governor and businessman George W. Romney and a niece of Massachusetts Governor and U.S. Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, McDaniel has been known for her prolific fundraising and staunch support for former President Donald Trump as RNC chair.[2][3] Under her leadership, the RNC ran ads for Trump's 2020 campaign as early as 2018, put numerous Trump campaign workers and affiliates on the RNC payroll, spent considerable funds at Trump-owned properties, covered his legal fees in the Russian interference investigation, hosted Trump's Fake News Awards, and criticized Trump critics within the Republican Party.[2]


This ties the M$M to the right-wing capitalists, as usual.

I hope NBC starts cleaning house on the executives that thought this was a good idea.

NBC is practicing appeasing a dictator. What they fail to understand is that short of total capitulation, there is no such thing as appeasing a dictator. It’s either total capitulation or the dictator destroys you.
