MSNBC's Hypocritical Meltdown Over Ronna McDaniel’s Hire
Former government spokespeople fume at the hire of a former government spokesperson
The self-acclaimed journalists at MSNBC, including Nicole Wallace (George W. Bush’s communications director), Jen Psaki (Biden’s press secretary), Joe Scarborough (Republican congressman), John Brennan (CIA director), etc, have become enraged with their parent company for hiring Ronna McDaniel, who get this, used to be a government spokesperson.
McDaniel previously served as the chair of the RNC, notably backing Trump’s claims of election fraud in 2020. And while MSNBC seemingly mandates that its hosts have a background in lying, such as Nicole Wallace peddling WMD lies which led to the Iraq War, or Rachel Maddow’s repeated claims that the 2016 election was stolen, McDaniel’s lies are far more egregious.
Hers damage the decorum of the elites.
Katie and Aaron throw down on the cries of the MSNBC hosts of a liar among their ranks and the celebrations they threw when she was ultimately fired. It’s about as hypocritical as we’ve ever seen them. Tune in to join the fun.
Plus, John Kirby walks back the US’s position on the UN ceasefire resolution, saying it’s nonbinding and that he still loves Israel with all his heart, Matthew Miller calls the UN antisemitic for their independent investigation that found Israel guilty of genocide, and Ali Velshi has a strange memory hole in his coverage of the US’s role in the destruction of Haiti.
