Lots of bullshit from both sides! Sounds like McDaniel might be smarter than msnbc hosts.

NBC News plans to drop former Republican National Committee boss Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor after network stars including MSNBC primetime headliner Rachel Maddow and the co-hosts of “Morning Joe” blasted the decision to bring the Trump-backing politico on board, according to a report.
Earlier Monday, Joe Scarborough and his wife, Mika Brzezinski, who co-host MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” pledged on the air that they would not invite McDaniel to their program, calling her an “anti-democracy election denier.”
The decision to hire McDaniel sparked anger due to her backing of former President Donald Trump.
Last month, Trump’s campaign fired McDaniel and dozens of other RNC officials and replaced them with people perceived as more loyal to the presumptive GOP nominee.
The former president reportedly soured on McDaniel because she would not enthusiastically endorse his claim that the 2020 election was fraudulent.
McDaniel’s name is mentioned in the Justice Department’s indictment of Trump related to his role in the alleged fake elector scheme.
The 45-page indictment handed down by special counsel Jack Smith found that McDaniel was misled.
Trump and Eastman “falsely represented to [McDaniel] that such electors’ votes would be used only if ongoing litigation in one of those states changed the results in [Trump’s] favor.”
McDaniel gave an interview to “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker on Sunday in which he acknowledged that President Joe Biden won the 2020 election “fair and square.”
The interview was taped weeks before it was announced that McDaniel would be joining NBC News.
Welker provided an on-air disclaimer on Sunday informing viewers that she had no knowledge of McDaniel’s hiring at the time she conducted the interview.
