McDaniel is amoral; NBC execs are just clueless

By Froma Harrop / Creators.com

Ronna McDaniel’s conduct following the 2020 election was shocking enough, but NBC’s decision to hire her as a paid political analyst almost topped it. The blowback from the company’s own commentators prompted the executives to turn around and send McDaniel packing.

The problem for NBC and its decidedly liberal MSNBC news channel wasn’t that McDaniel headed the Republican National Committee. It wasn’t that she supported Donald Trump’s bid for reelection.

It was that when Trump lost, she worked to overturn the results. There are misdeeds political players can explain away. Trying to overthrow the democracy shouldn’t be one of them. What on earth were the NBC bigwigs thinking?

Almost as repellant as McDaniel’s claims that the election was stolen was her excuse for knowingly lying about it. As she explained on NBC’S “Meet the Press,” “When you’re the RNC chair, you kind of take one for the whole team, right? Now I get to be a little bit more myself.”
