MSNBC co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski rip bosses over Ronna McDaniel hire, say she won’t be invited to ‘Morning Joe’
NY Post
Ronna McDaniel won’t be invited for some “morning Joe” anytime soon.
MSNBC morning stars Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski blasted their employers on Monday for hiring “anti-democracy election denier” Ronna McDaniel, the former head of the Republican National Committee, as a paid contributor to NBC News.
“We hope NBC will reconsider its decision” to hire McDaniel, said Brzezinski, who co-hosts the four-hour morning show with her husband, former Congressman Scarborough (R-Fla.).
Brzezinski said the pair will not invite McDaniel on to their air in protest. Her hiring has caused an uproar at NBC News.
McDaniel, who was among dozens of RNC staffers let go by the Trump campaign after the former president soured on her for not sufficiently supporting his claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election, could not be reached for comment by The Post.
Scarborough said management never asked him or his wife about whether McDaniel should be hired and that they learned of the news through media reports.
