New NBC hire, who resigned from committee less than three weeks ago, insisted there were still ‘problems’ in how Biden beat Trump

A little more than two weeks after resigning as the chairperson of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel admitted Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election over her party’s candidate “fair and square”.

But the newly-hired NBC News contributor maintained it is acceptable to also say there were “problems” in the manner that the US president defeated Donald Trump – even after the former president’s supporters translated such sentiments into the January 6 Capitol attack in 2021 that has been linked to nine deaths, including law enforcement suicides.

McDaniel delivered her contradictory remarks Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press in what was her debut on the network as a paid pundit. Show moderator Kristen Welker spent much of the session pushing McDaniel to address why she had waited until now to concede that Biden justly defeated Trump in 2020 – and to express disapproval over Trump’s promise to free those who were convicted or still facing charges in connection with the Capitol attack if he returned to the White House.

    Biden is just as conservative and right leaning as any Republican

    Nah. Biden is still better than today’s Republicans.

    But that’s a recent development.

    Republicans from 20 years ago though, Biden was buddies with the worst of the worst since then and still agrees with a lot of their views

    But a Republican from 2004 shouldn’t be the Dem candidate in 2024.

    And if we keep supporting candidates like Biden in the Dem party, the next one is going to be worse.

    The DNC won’t take the message voters don’t like this, and they’re not letting us all have primaries anymore.

    It’s really looking like the only choice is making a new party, it’s going to have to happen eventually so we might as well start the day after this election.

    I love Bernie, but I think he’s wrong about having to change the party from within at this point. I don’t think the national DNC is worth saving or even possible to be saved.

    Theyre too corrupted by wealthy donors and AIPAC. And their willing to shove terrible candidates like Hillary and Biden down our throats because trump is worse. The DNC hasn’t been acting rationale since a young Black man beat their favorite 16 years ago. People talk about Obama breaking trump at the Press dinner, but he broke the DNC a couple years before.

    Old wealthy white people regardless of party really didn’t like a young black progressive being able to win in their system

      thank you for expanding on the comment

      that is what trying to say

      neither party is supporting the forgotten fourth branch of government- the people
