MSNBC’s Joy Reid was not the only NBC and MSNBC employee to lament the hiring of former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, but she may have been the most unintentionally hilarious. The noted election denier used Monday’s edition of The ReidOut to claim that she has no problems with the network hiring Republicans because some of them even guest host her show, the most left-wing show on the country’s most left-wing TV channel.
During a discussion with The Bulwark’s Charlie Sykes and Vanity Fair’s Molly Jong-Fast, Reid declared that her and others’ opposition to McDaniel’s hiring “is not about having not Republicans on. My good friend Michael Steele is the former, also, RNC chair. Who guests hosts this show and my friend.”
It’s nice that Reid and Steele are friends, but simply being friends doesn’t mean you’re qualified to host a show….
