Ronna McDaniel — former head of the RNC and Trump ally — has been dropped by NBC following both internal and public pushback after the network hired her as a paid contributor.

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel speaks during a press conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters in 2020 in Washington.— including from the network's own talent — according to an internal email sent to staffers by NBC Chairman Cesar Conde and obtained by NPR., the former chair of the Republican National Committee, was hired by the news network just two weeks after stepping down from her role at the RNC.

Rachel Maddow also expressed criticism of the network's choice on her Monday night show, telling viewers,"I find the decision to put her on the payroll inexplicable and I hope will reconsider that decision.""It has been the honor and privilege of my life to serve the Republican National Committee for seven years as Chairwoman to elect Republicans and grow our Party," McDaniel said in a statement announcing her departure.

"I don't think he won it fair, I don't. I'm not going to say that," she told CNN's Chris Wallace last summer on what she called a"rigged" election.
