Fury at McDaniel's hiring reportedly began behind closed doors, with top contributors taking offense to not being asked their opinions beforehand.
On Sunday, two days after McDaniel's new role was announced, this spilled over into Todd's hosting of his show Meet the Press as he launched into a scathing takedown of his bosses.
Todd told his successor Kristen Welker that NBC executives had put her in an 'impossible situation' by having her interview McDaniel on her first appearance.
'Let me deal with the elephant in the room,' Todd said. 'I think our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation, because I don't know what to believe.'
When McDaniel appeared with Welker for the first time as an employee of the network, she seemed intent on distancing herself from her past rhetoric.
Political analyst Chuck Todd slammed his bosses on the air and said they owed his colleague's an 'apology'
NBC News is already planning to drop ex-RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel as a contributor following backlash from inside the network, reports claim.
The former top Republican is set to be gone within a week of her hiring, and has responded by seeking legal representation, Puck News says.
It comes after the network's top political analyst Chuck Todd erupted into an on-air rant about McDaniel's hiring, particularly taking issue with her support for Donald Trump's false 2020 election fraud claims.
Todd's meltdown was quickly followed by other liberal media stars, with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow describing the hiring as 'inexplicable' and said she hoped bosses would 'reconsider that decision.'

I guess the “Stab the base and get $$$” isn’t working anymore.
No apology necessary. Just show me the golden parachute
RINO that she is..... Just shows how the psycho-left can only exist within their own bubble.
My take is that 85% of the young wokista staff howled the loudest. These days the more moderate liberal oldsters at MSNBC and the like, run in fear of what the pierced green and pink hairs might do. And I mean the green haired, nose ringed alleged “dudes” also.
Media people are like snot-nosed middle school derps. They should all go away and let some adult come in and clean up the mess.
Certainly the inmates are running the asylum.
“I guess the “Stab the base and get $$$” isn’t working anymore.”
It worked for that greasy sweaty Michael Steele. Former RNC chairman. He did (does?) lots of paid commenting on MSNBC and similar channels. But this was a while ago. Is he even on TeeVee any more?
A bunch of their on air “talent” were having hissy fits last night. It was hilarious.
The only RINOs that get hugs from Michelle Obama are GW and his wife. The rest of them are despised by both sides.
“A bunch of their on air “talent” were having hissy fits last night. It was hilarious.”
A YouTube compilation reel is needed!
Too bad the RNC isn’t that smart
They needn’t have worried; she’s a RINO. But even at that, they just couldn’t take a chance that she might tell the truth here and there. Where’s that famous liberal tolerance?
The only people holding their hand at the bedside do not want Rona.
If they had a larger audience, Mika would not have said anything. They know they are in bad a shape as Biden.
The older left has created a monster that they aren’t able to control. We’ve seen it in action in recent years especially in the 2016 and 2020 presidential election cycles. 2024’s presidential election cycle should be the worst yet when it comes to leftist activists causing destruction and breaking the law.
Remember that Trotsky got an ice pick in his head after all he did for the revolution.
Fire chuck TOAD
It was not an ice pick. It was an ice axe. A Trotskyist is a Bolshevik that gets tired of having to argue past all of Stalin’s crimes (as if Trotsky was clean and pure).
He hosts MSNBC on Saturdays.
The weather channel will get more viewers then that propaganda pro.
