NBC News reportedly plans to drop former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel, who is now apparently seeking legal representation.
Puck News reported the news as pending deliberations: “NBC NEWS plans to drop ex RNC-chair Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor following on-air revolt from NBC/MSNBC talent. Execs are deliberating over details; announcement pending. Meanwhile, McDaniel is seeking legal representation.”
The news comes after NBC News and MSNBC employees voiced concern over the hiring of McDaniel due to her previous support of former President Donald Trump. Some say they do not want to lend her their credibility, though it is unclear what credibility members of NBC News and MSNBC have after spinning conspiracy theories for years.
