Intense internal backlash has followed NBC News' hiring of the former RNC chair as political analyst.
The decision to hire McDaniel was met with intense public backlash, leading to her resignation in February as the head of the GOP. Critics pointed to her close ties to Trump and her behind-the-scenes role in his attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
” Former MSNBC host Medhi Hasan, who left the network in January, criticized the decision on X, formerly Twitter, noting that McDaniel “lied about the 2020 election result, was involved in a pressure campaign to get Michigan officials not to certify the vote, and has accused MSNBC of ‘spreading lies’ and employing ‘prime time propagandists.’” In her internal memo, Brown wrote that McDaniel’s role would involve contributing “across all NBC News platforms,” including MSNBC.
