‘Our bosses owe you an apology’: Todd slams NBC's McDaniel hire during Welker MTP segment

The former host of ‘Meet The Press’ launched his attack on the network during a panel discussion with the current host.

“Let me deal with the elephant in the room. I think our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation,” Todd told “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker, who previously interviewed McDaniel, during a subsequent panel discussion. Todd further praised Welker, who took over as host of NBC’s flagship Sunday show when he moved into a new role last year, while blasting NBC’s decision-makers for putting her in “an impossible situation.”

Todd joined other prominent voices at and outside the company who have publicly criticized NBC’s decision to hire McDaniel, who repeatedly criticized the media and for months supported former President Donald Trump’s claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. McDanielMSNBC columnist Marisa Kabas slammed the move in an email she said she sent to NBC, which she also posted on social media.
