To the NBC HR department, did you by some chance do a background check on this person

because maybe, just maybe you could have called this person to find out if she should have been hired.........but you can fire 13 Union journalists right for cause.....but hire a fascist loving supporter of one "guy" that should have and should be in jail awaiting trial for espionage.......and she was right in the middle of the MI election BS...........to throw out votes............

Liz Cheney: controversial NBC hire Ronna McDaniel enabled Trump ‘depravity’

Martin Pengelly in Washington
Mon 25 Mar 2024 18.24 EDT

The Republican National Committee chair turned NBC politics analyst Ronna McDaniel “enabled criminality and depravity” in her support for Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, the former congresswoman Liz Cheney said as controversy swirled over McDaniel’s media role.

“Ronna facilitated Trump’s corrupt fake elector plot and his effort to pressure Michigan officials not to certify the legitimate election outcome,” Cheney, a Republican who was vice-chair of the House January 6 committee, wrote on social media.

“She spread his lies and called January 6 ‘legitimate political discourse’. That’s not ‘taking one for the team’. It’s enabling criminality and depravity.”

Ronna McDaniel Is Deleting Tweets After Getting Gig With NBC

Quelle surprise!



By Conover Kennard — March 24, 2024

What a profile in courage Ronna McDaniel, whose last name was Romney until Donald Trump made her change it because her uncle hurt his feewings, is. Deleting tweets is nothing new for Ronna. In 2020, she deleted a tweet that admitted that Donald Trump had lost the 2020 election.

And she's deleting more tweets now that she got a gig on MSNBC and NBC as a political analyst. So, MSNBC is rewarding her even though she should be in prison for her part in the fake electors' scheme to overturn the 2020 election.

MSNBC Exec Says 'No Plans' To Put Ex-RNC Chair McDaniel On The Air

Look who's getting some backlash over the hire of former RNC Chair and Trump-enabler Ronna McDaniel.
By Heather — March 24, 2024

This isn't much comfort given the fact that NBC News still plans to have the lying, election-denying Trump propagandist on their airways.

No, Senator Johnson, The FBI Did Not Set You Up

Senator Ron Johnson needs to stop pretending he is not a Russian asset.

By Chris capper Liebenthal — March 21, 2024

Ever since 2018, when Senator Ron Johnson (Q - Moscow) spent our country's Independence Day in Russia with Vladimir Putin and seven other Republican senators, people knew that he was a Russian asset. Throughout the years, RoJo's actions only acted to confirm those beliefs, despite his repeated denials. It actually got to the point where the FBI had to pay a visit to RoJo to advise him to be careful due to his Russian cheerleading.

In the fall of 2022, during an election debate against then Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes, it was brought up as an issue. RoJo promptly yelled that "The FBI set me up!"

RoJo also stated that he supported the efforts of Ukraine but then addressed the issue of his coziness with Russia, he went way off the deep end:

Hovde Was Against Corporate Tax Dodges Before He Was For Them

Californian banker Eric Hovde now uses tax loopholes that he once said need to be closed.
By Chris capper Liebenthal — March 21, 2024

In 2012, when Eric Hovde made his first run to be a Wisconsin Senator, he blasted the loopholes that allow the corporations to get away without paying any taxes. In 2021, during an economic forum sponsored by his California bank, he made the same lamentations:

— Hovde said in a radio ad during his first Senate campaign in 2012 that it was “wrong” that “major corporations often pay little to nothing in corporate taxes.” He also said in the ad, “We must get rid of corporate welfare, lower tax rates across the board and make the system fair for everyone.”

— In 2021, Hovde said that he agreed with a Democratic proposal to pass a minimum tax rate for corporations. “This is one I really agree with them on because I’ve always hated it — companies like Goldman Sachs or Apple can put all their technology in offshore places and pay no taxes,” he said.

'Work until you drop dead': GOP's proposed budget takes ax to Social Security, healthcare

By David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement
Published March 21, 2024 1:44 PM ET

The Republican Study Committee has released its proposed 2025 budget which would take an ax to major elements of the social safety net, healthcare system, and civil rights, while affecting nearly every American, either now or in the future.

Calling it "Fiscal Sanity to Save America," the budget proposal from the far-right MAGA-affiliated group of about 170 House Republicans would effectively create a national abortion ban and ban on in-vitro fertilization procedures (IVF) by creating legal protections for human embryos starting at “the moment of fertilization.” It mentions the word "abortion" 77 times.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is a member and former chairman of the Republican Study Committee.

'Threat to democracy': Watchdogs sound alarm as $55M poured into controversial project

By Travis Gettys
Published March 21, 2024 3:39 PM ET

Conservative donors are pouring money into a controversial effort to overhaul the federal government and implement a right-wing agenda from the start of a potential second Donald Trump presidency, according to a report.

The Heritage Foundation launched Project 2025 last April to develop policy recommendations and identify thousands of political appointees who could carry out its agenda in the next Republican administration. And groups linked to conservative activist Leonard Leo and the Koch network have now contributed more than $55 million to the initiative, according to an Accountable.US review shared exclusively with NBC News.

“The ‘MAGA blueprint’ isn’t a one-off project — it’s backed by the same far-right figures who have long dictated the conservative agenda,” said Tony Carrk, executive director of Accountable.US. “Leo, Koch and others should be held to account for propping up a policy platform that puts special interests over everyday Americans and poses an existential threat to our democracy.”
