When the news was announced on March 22 that disgraced former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel had taken a job with NBC News to become an on-air contributor the initial reactions were from the right. Those were rather muted, however, ranging from “Meh, of course,” to “Well where else did you expect the failed RINO to land?!” But very soon the left began to react to the announcement and it was, to put it politely, unhinged.

On social media it was as hysterical as expected. You could practically see the spittle hitting screens as they banged out their ALL CAPS outrage. Soon we learned that internally at NBC there was just as much emotional fervor heard amongst the staffers. As a result, MSNBC made the tepid announcement that McDaniel would not be featured on the cable news network.
Then came Sunday’s “Meet The Press” interview, and on that supposedly esteemed program the hysterics only continued. Hostess Kristen Welker first came on to offer what sounded like a preemptive apology, and declared she had no hand in the decision to hire McDaniel. Then following their talk a round table was held to discuss the interview and what it all meant. Disgraced former host Chuck Todd was in attendance and he was unspooling at the presence of McDaniel.

There’s a reason why there’s a lot of journalists at NBC News uncomfortable with this. I don’t know what to believe. So she has – she has credibility issues that she has to deal with.
Chuck Todd…talking about others having credibility issues. Please.
The real amusement is as Todd bemoans the trust issues with having a Republican operative on the air he needs to ignore the laundry list of on-air personalities with direct historical ties to the Democrats – including Todd himself. But even this paled in comparison to the wave of emotional wailing seen on MSNBC. Show after show had the talent on camera bemoaning this decision and behaving as if the network had been rendered.
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski weighed in on the decision Monday morning. They declared McDaniel would not be on their program, even after the edict was handed down by the network that Ronna would not appear on MSNBC. So brave.

Rachel Maddow, on her lone Monday appearance also weighed in. She spent the first half of her program addressing this topic, displaying all of the hyperbole and hysterics about what a threat this hiring represented.
