Following Outcry, NBC News Drops Ronna McDaniel as a Contributor

She is the former RNC chair

NBC's newest contributor has been dropped from the network following public backlash — including from the network's own talent — according to an internal email sent to staffers by NBC Chairman Cesar Conde and obtained by NPR.

Ronna McDaniel, the former chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), was hired by the news network just two weeks after stepping down from her role at the RNC.

"No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned. Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal," Conde said in the email announcing that McDaniel would no longer be a contributor.
