'Morning Joe' Announces Its Intentions For New NBC Colleague Ronna McDaniel
HuffPost
The former Republican National Committee chair just got hired by NBC News and made her debut.
MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski said Monday they will not invite Ronna McDaniel on their “Morning Joe” show after the former RNC chair was hired by parent NBC News. (Watch the video below.)
McDaniel made her network debut on “Meet the Press” Sunday in a controversial segment. NBC had announced her new gig as a contributor days earlier, sparking internal protests.
“We believe NBC News should seek out conservative Republican voices to provide balance in their election coverage, but it should be conservative Republicans, not a person who used her position of power to be an anti-democracy election denier,” Brzezinski told viewers on Monday. “And we hope NBC will reconsider its decision. It goes without saying that she will not be a guest on ‘Morning Joe’ in her capacity as a paid contributor.”
MSNBC President Rashida Jones reportedly told anchors they were not obligated to book McDaniel on their programs.
Scarborough also made his opposition to McDaniel’s hiring emphatically clear.
