Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump panned former Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel's quick exit from "Fake News NBC" on Tuesday, while ripping network executives for being "weak," "broken," and "highly overpaid." McDaniel lasted four days and made just one appearance — on Sunday's "Meet The Press" — after NBC announced it had hired her as an on-air political contributor to bring a conservative viewpoint. But after days of being browbeaten on air by his own talent, NBCUniversal News Group Chair Cesar Conde conceded defeat Tuesday night and announced he had parted ways with McDaniel. McDaniel joined NBC News after resigning as RNC chair earlier this month. "Wow! Ronna McDaniel got fired by Fake News NBC. She only lasted two days, and this after McDaniel went out of her way to say what they wanted to hear. It leaves her in a very strange place, it's called NEVER NEVERLAND, and it's not a place you want to be," Trump said in a post to Truth Social. He then turned his attention to the network itself. "These Radical Left Lunatics are Crazy, and the top people at NBC are weak. They were Broken and Embarrassed by Low Ratings, Highly Overpaid, 'Talent.' Bring back free and fair press — Make America Great Again 2024! Axios reported that McDaniel was exploring legal options if NBC did, in fact, terminate her contract, which would have paid her $300,000 per year, The New York Times reported. The Times also reported that McDaniel found out she was terminated from news reports before she heard from NBC. In his staff-wide memo, Conde wrote, "I want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down," according to the Times. "After listening to the legitimate concerns of many of you, I have decided that Ronna McDaniel will not be an NBC News contributor," Conde wrote.
