Maddow criticized NBC News over its hiring of former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel and called on the network to reverse its decision.
Maddow, MSNBC’s highest-rated anchor, began her show with a nearly 30-minute monologue blasting the network’s decision as “inexplicable.”
“If you care what I think about this, the fact that McDaniel is on the payroll at NBC News, to me that is inexplicable,” Maddow said during her show on Monday evening. “You wouldn’t hire a wise guy … a made man, like a mobster, to work in a DA’s office. You wouldn’t hire a pickpocket to work as a TA screener. And so, I find the decision to put her on the payroll inexplicable, and and I hope they will reverse their decision.
On Monday’s show, Maddow implored NBC News to “take a minute, acknowledge that maybe it wasn’t the right call,” adding, “It is a sign of strength, not weakness, to acknowledge when you are wrong.”James Marsden, Taran Killam and Stars Who Signed Brian Peck Letters of Support "Devastated" Drake Bell, Says Dan Schneider
