Her new role as a commentator on NBC and MSNBC programs comes shortly after she stepped down as the leader of the Republican National Committee.

Ronna McDaniel, who stepped down as chairwoman of the Republican National Committee this month, is joining NBC News as an on-air contributor, the network said on Friday.

The hire adds a reliably conservative voice to NBC’s stable of political analysts. Ms. McDaniel is also expected to provide commentary on MSNBC, NBC’s left-leaning cable cousin and a network that former President Donald J. Trump and his allies often accuse of being an arm of the Democratic Party.

“It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team,” Carrie Budoff Brown, who oversees NBC News political coverage, wrote in a memo, adding that Ms. McDaniel would provide “an insider’s perspective on national politics and the future of the Republican Party.” Ms. McDaniel will be especially involved in the coverage of the 2024 campaign, including election nights.

She was selected by Mr. Trump to lead the Republican Party after she spearheaded his 2016 presidential campaign victory in Michigan. As party chairwoman, she occasionally clashed with Mr. Trump. Last year, he complained about her decision to sponsor multiple Republican presidential primary debates, one of which was hosted by NBC, with Mr. Trump’s rivals.

BULLSHIT

3. Wonderful

NBC hired a Stepford wife...what could go wrong with that idea???

[hlthe2b]

4. How damned ridiculous.

The "powers that be" probably are deluded enough to think she will do a reversal like Michael Steele. If they had done even a cursory search of her recent comments, they would know better.

I predict a dismal episode to come.

[A_Woman_from_MI]

5. Ah! Exactly what absolutely no one

was clamoring for; another conservative voice in the media!

[Aristus]

6. Yep. There it is; the million-dollar payout.

To the surprise of exactly no one.

7. This lier won't go over to well I predict.

[Midnight Writer]

8. Another Republican failing up.

[NewHendoLib]

9. Gag!

[edhopper]

10. Will NBC allow

someone they are paying to repeatedly lie on TV?
Inquiring minds want to know?

[Hekate]

12. Nope

[LiberalFighter]

11. Trash that expeletive.

[bluesbassman]

13. Let her spew, er talk. As long as there's a fact checker along side of her.

But I suspect, like most RWers they have on, she'll just be allowed to run her mouth with RNC talking points, and "just asking questions".

[Marcus IM]

14. Just that librul media doin' it's thing.

And isn't same librul media owned by librul Hollywood? Why, yes it is.

Surrounded by libruls.

[TSExile]

15. Boooooo...

Thank goodness I already record most of the evening shows. I will FF her just like with the commercials.

17. Is this an invitation from MSNBC for viewers to leave?

[Mordred]

18. Use her as a Trump pinata

and just hammer her relentlessly every appearance like Meghan McCain used to be on the View.

A real shame Medhi Hassan isn't still at MSNBC to eviscerate her.

[lostnfound]

19. I wish my partner agreed with cutting cable

Yet another example of why I’m sick of supporting the bs.

20. Goodbye
