NBC News on Tuesday ousted former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel, just days after her hiring as a paid political analyst sparked intense backlash from the network’s top television anchors over McDaniel’s role in subverting the 2020 election and attacks on the press.

“There is no doubt that the last several days have been difficult for the News Group,” NBCUniversal News Group President Cesar Conde said in a memo to staff. “After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor.”

“I want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down,” Conde continued. “While this was a collective recommendation by some members of our leadership team, I approved it and take full responsibility for it.”

    She’s apparently going to file a hostile work environment lawsuit, but it’s not going to go the way she thinks it will.

    NBC will end up proving in court that hiring a fascist creates a hostile work environment, if they don’t just pay her to go away & never speak their name again.

      She’ll probably get a nice settlement amounting to the next 5 years they would have paid her.
