Maddow Rips NBC’s “Inexplicable” Hiring Of McDaniel

“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.”

Maddow said she hopes NBC News would “reverse their decision” to hire McDaniel, who appeared on “Meet The Press” over the weekend and defended her previous comments on Trump, the 2020 election and Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
