Former Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel is considering a lawsuit against NBC after the network parted ways with her just days after signing a major contributor agreement.

McDaniel surprised many political analysts last week when she announced she had been hired by NBC to provide political analysis and “an insider’s perspective on national politics and the future of the Republican Party.”

During her first appearance on Sunday, McDaniel also betrayed many in the conservative movement by condemning the January 6th protesters and suggesting that Donald Trump should not offer them a pardon if he gets back into office.

However, NBC opted to part ways with McDaniel on Tuesday, just days after her hiring, following an internal backlash from the network employees and lead presenters over the decision to hire someone with such close links to Donald Trump.

Now, Politico is reporting that McDaniel is exploring a range of options to strike back against the network by demanding they pay her full salary and even a major lawsuit:

McDaniel expects to be fully paid out for her contract, two years at $300,000 annually, since she did not breach its terms, we’re told — meaning that her single, not-quite-20-minute interview Sunday could cost the Peacock more than $30,000 per minute, or $500 per second.

That’s just one tidbit we’ve picked up from McDaniel’s side of things following yesterday’s announcement from NBCUniversal News Group Chair CESAR CONDE, and it might be just the beginning of the fallout. McDaniel spoke yesterday with BRYAN FREEDMAN, renowned lawyer to the estranged cable-news stars, to discuss legal options even beyond recouping the dollar value of her original contract.

McDaniel is also looking at the possibility of suing NBC on grounds of "defamation and hostile work environment" after hosts such as Chuck Todd attacked her directly on air: 

McDaniel, we’re told, is exploring potential defamation and hostile work environment torts after MSNBC’s top talent — momentarily her colleagues — took turns Monday blasting her on air. (NBC declined to comment about the $600,000 figure or her potential claims.)

...

[McDaniel's camp] are furious that the network did little to push back on a multi-day campaign against their new hire on their own airwaves. Host after host cast McDaniel as an enemy of democracy for, among other things, participating in a November 2020 phone call where then-President DONALD TRUMP sought to convince Michigan GOP elections officials not to certify election results.

“The part that pisses me off most about this is not necessarily that they folded; it’s [that] they allowed their talent to drag Ronna through the mud and make it seem like they were innocent bystanders,” the person close to McDaniel said.

It seems that NBC has gotten itself in an awful mess. Yet, given that NBC is one of the Democratic Party's many propaganda organs, one can only hope that McDaniel succeeds in her efforts to enact revenge.
