"NBC News Parts Ways with Ronna McDaniel Amid On-Air Backlash"
NBC News has cut ties with Ronna McDaniel, the former chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, just four days after hiring her as an on-air political commentator. The decision came after a backlash from NBC's leading stars and viewers, particularly on MSNBC, who criticized her association with former President Donald J. Trump and his false claims about the 2020 election. NBC's top news executive apologized to staff members and acknowledged the concerns, while the controversy has also led to McDaniel parting ways with her talent agency.
