Ronna McDaniel, former chair of the Republican National Committee, faced tough questions on NBC's Meet the Press after being hired as a paid contributor by NBC News. Her hiring sparked backlash due to her history of Trump sycophancy and election denialism. NBC's decision to hire her was criticized by its own journalists, with Chuck Todd publicly expressing discomfort with the move. The controversy raises questions about the revolving door between politics and paid punditry, and the appropriateness of rewarding individuals complicit in election denialism with media contracts.
