Chuck Todd blisters NBC brass on air for Ronna McDaniel hire following Welker interview

Former "Meet The Press" host Chuck Toidd dropped the hammer on his bosses on Sunday morning for not only hiring former RNC head Ronna McDaniel but also foisting her off on the current host Kristen Welker for an interview.

Following McDaniels' interview with the new host, where the new hire tap-danced around her history of claiming there was election fraud in the 2020 election, Todd took part in a panel where, as he put it, he needed to address the elephant in the room."

"I think our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation,” Todd began.

“She is now a paid contributor by NBC News and I have no idea whether any answer she gave to you was because she didn’t want to mess up her contract," he continued. "She wants us to believe that she was speaking for the RNC when the RNC was paying for her. So she has credibility issues that she still has to deal with. Is she speaking for herself or is she speaking on behalf of who’s paying her?”

“Look, there’s a reason why there’s a lot of journalists at NBC News uncomfortable with this because many of our professional dealings with the RNC over the last six years have been met with gaslighting, have been met with character assassination," he elaborated. "That’s where you begin here. So, when NBC made the decision to give her NBC News’ credibility, you gotta ask yourself, 'What does she bring to NBC News?' And when we make deals like this — and I’ve been at this company a long time — you’re doing it for access, access to audience, sometimes it’s access to an individual. "

"We can have a journalistic ethics debate about it. I’m willing to have that debate," he added.

'Imagine being Trump's lawyers': Expert points to new trouble ahead in the courtroom

During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday morning, former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance claimed Donald Trump is not making the lives of his attorneys any easier as they move into a critical week in the courts.

As the former president scrambles to come up with the nearly half billion dollars he needs for his financial fraud appeals bond and he is slated to be in a Manhattan court on Monday to see when his hush money trial will start up, the former prosecutor stated his recent antics are creating new problems.

Speaking with host Ali Velshi, who noted the former president claimed on Truth Social that he is flush with cash while also pleading poverty to the appeals court he wants to lower his bond amount, Vance marveled at the chaos the former president is creating.

"Imagine being one of his lawyers and saying one thing in your court papers and having your client undercut you publicly the next day on Truth Social," she began. "The judges are certainly entitled to take a look at Trump's posts in this vein and it would be fair to deny him any sort of measures for forgiveness of the full amount of the bond in the form of the surety bond he has asked for simply because he says he can afford it and he chooses not to."

"And I think we have reached a point with Trump where judges should hold him accountable for his words rather than letting him get away with having it one way in court and one way in public," she added. "We are past the point in time where the courts can afford to let that happen."

"To your point, there is a little bit more to executing the judgment than showing up with a sheriff," she added. "I think what [New York AG] Tish James has done, has made it clear she is serious, particularly by registering the judgments in Westchester County, New York where some of the Trump family favorite properties including the National Golf Course are located. So she is sending a signal if he does not get a bond in place she intends to go forward."
