MSNBC Anchor Hit Parade Assails Ronna McDaniel Hire at NBC News; ‘Inexplicable,’ Says Rachel Maddow
MSNBC's most popular anchors, including Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace and Joy Reid, assailed NBC News' hire of Ronna McDaniel as a contributor

Within days, prominent staffers at NBC News and MSNBC pushed back on the decision, charging that McDaniel’s efforts to assist Trump and cast aspersions on journalists made her unfit to serve at in a paid position at a journalism organization.
