Ronna McDaniel got fired by Fake News NBC.

McDaniel is the niece of Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat boss or executive would allow a man or woman, in this case Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd, who was fired for dismal performance coupled with horrendous television ratings, to publicly SCOLD them as to their weakness &#038; stupidity in hiring Ronna McDaniel[?]\u201d Trump asked. \u201cActually, they should be scolded for hiring \u2018Sleepy\u2019 for Meet the Fake Press, and keeping him on so long despite his poor performing skills, bad ratings, and bias.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sick degenerates over at MSDNC are really running NBC, and there seems nothing Chairman Brian Roberts can do about it. Watching Chuck Todd, of all people, viciously giving Roberts a piece of his small mind, and then berating him for hiring Ronna without his, or the other lunatics, approval, was just a step too far,\u201d Trump added. \u201cBrian\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-fathers-day-to-remember-jon-rahm-wins-his-first-major-championship\/\" title=\"A Father\u2019s Day To Remember: Jon Rahm Wins His First Major Championship\">great father<\/a> would have fired Chuck Todd, and all the rest of these losers, on the spot.
