In an effort to "address employee and talent backlash over" the decision to hire McDaniel, Rashida Jones, the cable network’s president, reportedly issued an alert suggesting McDaniel wouldn't reach MSNBC.
"Jones told employees the cable network has no plans to have McDaniel on the channel, according to people familiar with the conversations," the report says. "A number of MSNBC anchors and producers have voiced concern internally about McDaniel's ties to former President Donald Trump and the RNC's role in his efforts to challenge the 2020 election results."
