It has been a rough few days for the former Republican National Committee (RNC) chair…
NBC News cut ties with the Republican after five days following swift backlash from a number of MSNBC hosts.
Donald Trump quickly piled on after the news broke.
“Wow! Ronna McDaniel got fired by Fake News NBC. She only lasted two days, and this after McDaniel went out of her way to say what they wanted to hear,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website on Tuesday. “It leaves her in a very strange place, it's called NEVER NEVERLAND, and it's not a place you want to be.” (RELATED: Ronna McDaniel Has Trainwreck First Interview As NBC News Contributor)
“These Radical Left Lunatics are CRAZY, and the top people at NBC ARE WEAK,” Trump wrote in his Truth Social post on Tuesday. “They were BROKEN and EMBARRASSED by LOW RATINGS, HIGHLY OVERPAID, ‘TALENT.' BRING BACK FREE AND FAIR PRESS.”
In a note to NBC staff on Tuesday, NBCUniversal News Group Chair Cesar Conde apologized for bringing McDaniel on board as a paid contributor and explained the decision “was made because of our deep commitment to presenting our audiences with a widely diverse set of viewpoints and experiences, particularly during these consequential times.”
McDaniel on Tuesday was reportedly exploring legal options in the event the network terminated its agreement with her, which was announced late last week and was slated to pay her more than six figures annually. (RELATED: CNN Exec Accused Of Sexual Assault)
McDaniel stepped down as head of the Republican National Committee earlier this year.
