On-Air Protests Continue Over Ronna McDaniel’s Hiring

The on-air protests against NBC News’s hiring of Ronna McDaniel continued this morning, with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski deeply critical of the move on “Morning Joe,” Politico reports.

Said Scarborough: “We weren’t asked our opinion of the hiring but, if we were, we would have strongly objected to it for several reasons.”

Said on anonymous source: “No hosts or correspondents were given any kind of heads up on this. People are pissed. It is a deeply unpopular move.”
