New NBC hire, who resigned from committee less than three weeks ago, insisted there were still ‘problems’ in how Biden beat Trump
A little more than two weeks after resigning as the chairperson of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel admitted Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election over her party’s candidate “fair and square”.
But the newly-hired NBC News contributor maintained it is acceptable to also say there were “problems” in the manner that the US president defeated Donald Trump – even after the former president’s supporters translated such sentiments into the January 6 Capitol attack in 2021 that has been linked to nine deaths, including law enforcement suicides.
McDaniel delivered her contradictory remarks Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press in what was her debut on the network as a paid pundit. Show moderator Kristen Welker spent much of the session pushing McDaniel to address why she had waited until now to concede that Biden justly defeated Trump in 2020 – and to express disapproval over Trump’s promise to free those who were convicted or still facing charges in connection with the Capitol attack if he returned to the White House.
“McDaniel said it remained “a concern” for her that Pennsylvania could go from recording 260,000 mail-in ballots for Trump’s Oval Office victory in 2016 to 2.6m in 2020.”
Gee, I wonder if something happened in 2020 that had people prefer not to gather in crowded areas. I guess we’ll never know…
Fuck #NBC. Scum like McDaniel should be shunned by society, not given $300k salaries.
THIS is the real takeaway.
Obvs. fuck this idiot, but NBC and whoever the former Politico person is who made this fucked-up insane decision to hire her need to be fired and launched into the sun.
Where did she stand on this issue last month? There seems to be a trend among Republicans where they suddenly “see the light” the second they’re out of power…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A little more than two weeks after resigning as the chairperson of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel admitted Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election over her party’s candidate “fair and square”.
Though nonpartisan voting integrity experts consider that race to be the most secure election ever, McDaniel said it remained “a concern” for her that Pennsylvania could go from recording 260,000 mail-in ballots for Trump’s Oval Office victory in 2016 to 2.6m in 2020.
Welker at one point asked whether McDaniel regretted getting on a phone call with Trump in which they apparently sought to pressure two local-level election officials in Wayne county, Michigan, to refuse to certify the state vote that Biden won.
An MSNBC executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person would not publicly discuss internal matters, said it would be up to individual network shows to decide whether or not the bring McDaniel on – not that there is a network-wide ban.
Trump has claimed he does not intend to use the RNC to pay off the legal bills that he has run up while facing more than 80 criminal charges for election interference, retaining classified materials after leaving the Oval Office and hush-money payments.
But as the Associated Press has reported, the Trump loyalists in command of McDaniel’s former organization are in firm control of the Republican party’s political and fundraising levers without facing much – if any – internal oversight.

She won’t last the week. Cue the head of lettuce meme
A person can dream.
She may not make it past Maddow tonight.
Biden absolutely won fair and square
He put in a lot of hard work as a career politician helping to craft and write laws that helped exclude people from voting and participating in this “democracy”
So yes he definitely won fair and square and on his on bootstraps
Biden is just as conservative and right leaning as any Republican he even voted for straight marriage only and supported segregation and is for overcrowding prisons with people he thinks are undesirables going as far as picking a prosecutor as his vice and ran on a platform that was in direct opposition to the views he held as a politician just to fool voters
know people are able to change their minds on their views but come on
2024 Pot versus Kettle
What a load of malarkey.
Biden is just as conservative and right leaning as any Republican
Nah. Biden is still better than today’s Republicans.
But that’s a recent development.
Republicans from 20 years ago though, Biden was buddies with the worst of the worst since then and still agrees with a lot of their views
But a Republican from 2004 shouldn’t be the Dem candidate in 2024.
And if we keep supporting candidates like Biden in the Dem party, the next one is going to be worse.
The DNC won’t take the message voters don’t like this, and they’re not letting us all have primaries anymore.
It’s really looking like the only choice is making a new party, it’s going to have to happen eventually so we might as well start the day after this election.
I love Bernie, but I think he’s wrong about having to change the party from within at this point. I don’t think the national DNC is worth saving or even possible to be saved.
Theyre too corrupted by wealthy donors and AIPAC. And their willing to shove terrible candidates like Hillary and Biden down our throats because trump is worse. The DNC hasn’t been acting rationale since a young Black man beat their favorite 16 years ago. People talk about Obama breaking trump at the Press dinner, but he broke the DNC a couple years before.
Old wealthy white people regardless of party really didn’t like a young black progressive being able to win in their system
thank you for expanding on the comment
that is what trying to say
neither party is supporting the forgotten fourth branch of government- the people
