RNC's Ronna McDaniel: Jan. 6 panel persecuting 'legitimate political discourse'

"This has gone beyond their original intent. They are not sticking up for hard-working Republicans," McDaniel said of Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger.

• The Republican National Committee is set to censure Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger on Friday.
• RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel co-authored the censure resolution, which targets the January 6 committee.
• She also called the committee a "persecution of ordinary citizens who engaged in legitimate political discourse."

It’s not like NBC was hiring a Charlie Baker or even a Chris Christie type of Republican. She might be singing a slightly different tune now but come on.

Do they know just how poor and stupid the typical Fox News viewer is?

The decision to hire McDaniel, which was unanimously supported by top network executives, has already divided and destabilized one of America's most storied news organizations, with internal dismay flaring on text chains and Slack channels since the deal was announced late last week.

The dissent broke into the open Sunday when the network's top political analyst, Chuck Todd, pilloried executives moments after McDaniel's first network appearance, an interview with Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press."

"There's a reason why there's a lot of journalists at NBC News uncomfortable with this," Todd told Welker, citing prior "gaslighting" and "character assassination" from McDaniel's RNC.

NBC News reportedly dropping Ronna McDaniel after on-air protests

Ex-RNC chair reportedly seeking legal representation as network looks to oust her just days after hire.

Why legal representation? She knows how to stage an insurrection.

McDaniel was a legal liability herself if she ended up defaming people and groups like Dominion and Smartmatic and others while on (MS)NBC TV.

Fear sells!

 

[Teelie]

Something that literally has nothing to do with immigration, borders, COVID or anything else they fear monger. Surprised they didn't manage to throw in an LGTBQ boogeyman too.
