17. What about Michael Steele and Nicole Wallace?

I clearly agree that hiring Ronna Romney McDaniel was a big mistake by NBC but let's not forget former RNC chair Michael Steele. At least he didn't help try to steal an election.
Nicole Wallace is another matter. She worked for Jeb Bush in 1999 and 2000 when Jeb and Katherine Harris were busy carrying out their illegal felon purge that wrongly removed more than 50,000 legally registered mostly African-American democrats from Florida's voting rolls by wrongly identifying them as felons according to the reporting of Greg Palast who broke the story when he worked for the U.K. Guardian. Then during the 2000 election dispute she transferred to W's communications team to help spread the big lie that all of the Florida votes had been counted and recounted. That wasn't true then and it isn't true now. Several hundred thousand uncounted ballots from Florida's biggest and most heavily democratic voting counties sit uncounted in the Florida archives. It doesn't take a roxket scientist to figure out that these voters didn't vote for W. Let's remember the additional big lie that W claimed he opposed hand counting ballots despite the fact that 10,000 absentee ballots located in the most heavily republican voting counties that the counting machines couldn't read were in fact hand duplicated and counted as Florida law allowed for ballots that the counting machines couldn't read. That law applied to all ballots that the counting machines couldn't read and not just absentee ballots in heavily republican voting counties. These hand counted republican absentee ballots helped W steal the 2000 election because they're in the Jeb Bush/Katherine Harris fraudulent Florida vote total. I don't recall anyone at MSNBC getting bent out of shape when Nicole Wallace was hired despite her dubious election behavior track record.
