As we noted yesterday, assuming the general termination clause in any employment contract exists, Ronna McDaniel is likely to get fully paid the terms of her 2-year previously signed contract amount as her firing was simply a breech by the hiring company, NBC.
Politico is reporting the former RNC chair is likely to receive exactly that. Her two-year contract was for $300,000/yr totaling $600,000.
McDaniel was fired after one Meet the Press interview less than 20 minutes in duration. Now she will likely get the full contract payment.
Politico – […] The ramifications of NBC’s decision yesterday to part ways with former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel just two days after her paid network debut on “Meet the Press” are just starting to shake out. But they could be expensive.
McDaniel expects to be fully paid out for her contract — two years at $300,000 annually — since she did not breach its terms, according to a person close to McDaniel. That means that her single, not-quite-20-minute interview Sunday could cost NBC more than $30,000 per minute, or $500 per second.
That might be just the beginning of the fallout following yesterday’s announcement from NBCUniversal News Group Chair Cesar Conde that the deal, first announced on Friday, would be canceled. 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 contract.
While no arrangement is final, the person close to McDaniel said, Freedman would be an obvious choice: He represented Megyn Kelly in her own acrimonious parting with NBC, as well as ousted anchors Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon and Tucker Carlson in disputes with their respective former networks.
McDaniel, the person said, 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. (read more)
It’s enough to make you wonder if this entire NBC fiasco was just a purposeful laundering of money for previous services rendered.
Instead of going the book deal route, McDaniel gets hired by NBC then fired without cause a few days later.
Cha-ching, $600k, and NBC gets all the eyeballs and clicks that go with the hot mess story.
Intentional?
You decide.
Suspicious Cat remains, well, suspicious…
She sure knows how to fight now! While at the RNC she was so helpless and apathetic.
yes, when her own fat rino ass is on the line. when its us and our rights, they just spend and trade them for their own fat greed.
What no 20 million dollar News Corp book deal?
No 100 million from Netflix for a movie
Instead it’s now 20 seconds for 600k
The book deal may come later unless she gets some teaching position at a “highly” thought of institution or some no-show corporate board job.
Yes thankfully I recouped all the money I donated towards the stolen election fight. Now, I don’t give ANY money to the RNC, and reject every text I get from ANY politician. Instead I donate to worthy servants of the gospel of Jesus Christ and I am reaping spiritual rewards. Just have to make sure they love the Lord, His Word and His people.
What a cheap date! Hunter doesn’t
roll off the hookerput down theget out of bed for small change like that.I don’t care who you are that’s funny right there!
You go girl!
more like whore.
Intentional
Yes!! The Suspicious Cat nails’em again!!
I think it’s just an accidental windfall for Fat Lips McRino. Nothing more, nothing less.
LOL. Thank you COL for the chuckles…….I needed that.
“It’s enough to make you wonder if this entire NBC fiasco was just a purposeful laundering of money for previous services rendered.”
I knew it the moment she was “hired”, knew she would be dismissed, and knew she would be paid for service rendered. They have to pay or she might talk about what she knows. Blackmail works in two directions.
She’ll probably have a book “deal” soon…
Liz Cheney is more honorable thasn Ronna. Sabotuer and filthy RINO.
Libtards claim to love “diversity” but in reality they don’t.
What’s even more amusing is she is a RINO and would fit right in with them.
She did help get Trump elected in 2016 but after that it was downhill with blue waves.
Trump 2024
What makes you think she “helped” get Trump elected in 2016?
She was a ROMNEY, even back then and he no doubt took michigan in spite of, rather than because of, anything Ronna did.
Yes, she would fit right in. The ones that got her fired are useless idiots since the NBC execs knew exactly what knives she brought to the table to help stab PDJT in the back.
How much does she owe the SAVE AMERICA FUND?
Impressive.
I seriously doubt Heels-Up Harris (for instance) ever topped $5k for any particular twenty minute devoir of her “professional duties”, prior to planting her knees in a publicly elected office.
Ronna perfectly executed the Chelsea Clinton payoff scheme, with that little extra firing flourish.
Well played, NBC!
she can still do a book deal.
This helps her get a bigger book deal, me thinks…😏
“Your honor, its only when we had her on, for a 20 minute segment, that we realised justhow gish awful, butt uggly Ronna actually IS, and per the contract, page 3, paragraph 7, we CAN terminate any talking head for being “too ugly to live”,..and are NOT required to honor the contract,…”
Those lips are gonna get bigger this summer. Maybe 3x bigger. lol
Sure this isn’t another form of “book deal” reward for targets met in a former job ?
Looks like it to me.
Prominent “Republican” turns coat and announces agreement with the narrative-based Jan 6th psyop, gets a big payday and is released to pursue other interests.
Same with “retiring” RINOs. Everything’s corrupt, everyone is for sale. Big money wants power, and is willing to pay to get it.
A payoff for a job well done. The middle school girls at MSNBC threw a hissy because Ronna was more effective for the cause (losing elections to democrats) at the RNC than openly bashing MAGA on the boob-tube.
Rona can now display her true identity, that of a limousine liberal.
NBC should have fired Chuck Todd. This is a case of the tail wagging the dog.
Todd was just another approved player in the scam.
Maybe they could offer credits at a local florist…………
Usually the talking head gig payoff was quasi-legit. Strzok, Brennan, McCabe et al have to actually show up a few times to receive their payoff for previous services rendered. A hire/fire breach of contract scam to launder the payoffs is bloody brilliant! It’s the new “loan repayments” of kickbacks! Maybe the major book publishers were getting leery of future investigations into their being used as money laundries. The university gigs will always be there to fall back on in a pinch.
The first thought that came to mind is that she has now been paid for services rendered which she did to aid the democrats.
Oh,there will be a future book deal for sure. A mere 600,000 for all her hard work? Poor baby.
No, it wasn’t intentional, that’s a bridge too far.
“that’s a bridge too far”
You need to pay closer attention, George. They stole the 2020 election. Why do you think that paying off one of the thieves is a “bridge too far”?
I thought it was an intentional hiring AND firing from the get go. Like Sundance said…paid for services rendered.
I agree!
The hiring/firing was simply to cover Ronna’s previous back door entrance to NBC during her tenure at the RNC.
I have to say, I actually thought she was just kind of a mom doing good for Trump way back when…….but then……took me alot of time to see this….Thank you all here at TCTH!
Me too. I guess we can’t be too hard on ourselves as even Gorbachev and Putin were fooled by these people.
Cheap price for half hearted opposition to the other wing of the Uniparty during the last few election cycles.
I was glad when Ronna was replaced as head of the RNC. However, she’s being treated badly by NBC. Yeah, it’s funny she lasted a matter of 48 hours — 72? — hardy-har-har. But I do feel sorry for the way she was treated by NBC. I had heard she actually (lamely) stood up for Trump during her one any only time on NBC’s Meet the Depressed. The woman badgered Ronna for the answer she wanted and Ronna stood fast. The part is 10:30 into the video, but I’ll warn you the badgering woman made me spit nails:
$600k for her 30 pieces of silver? My how the silver market is down or is it sex discrimination? Don Lemon would have gotten 10x that.
$he’$ a true Romney. $ellout and $link around with million$ for $erving the enemy of the U.S.A!
Ronna is a big loss for the RINOS. She was about to turn on all of us and become a major sabotuer by appearing on MSNBC. The new RNC should make it clear that is a proganda outfit and no self respecting GOP member should ever appear on NBC. Nikki and Pence and fatboy and Murkey and Romney may go there or Kinsinger and Cheney but they are all scum. They get paid to bash Trump. FOX in that case will bring her on. She did the worst job ever and I have no love for the GOP but allowing her to operate was a big mistake. FIRE the damn RINOS and don’t allow them to harm you idiots. Wake up to the GOP fast or lose. Trump supported her….why Don are you bad at your picks for important staff.
Can you say “Money Laundering”
Lot of money laundering happing with the low character political class..
It could have been deliberate. Why else would they put up with their other employees mouthing off on air about the new hire?
We’ll see what happens. If they let it go, that would indicate that this was the plan all along.
The STOP THE STEAL grifter falls up yet again, but this time I’m glad of it—NBC loses more money, and humanity is spared this insufferable RINO’s face, voice, and scripted opinions, all of which would have added to the already unbelievably tiresome practice of broadcasting clips of GOP turncoats to the far reaches of ‘conservative’ internet.

My thoughts exactly! People are on to the ‘book deal’ payoff and the speaking tours…this also serves to help repair Ronna’s bona fides among what remains of the uniformed GOP voter.
The pearl clutching by Fox News hosts about how liberals can’t stand anyone with a different opinion only confirms my suspicion that this was a coordinated effort. Now, after a while, she will be able to join Fox as a newly rehabilitated contributor, and criticize Trump non stop.
I called Ronna to tell her to sue those m f r s and I got this message:
Sorry I can’t take your call right now. Me and my beach friends are having Nathan’s weiners on a remote international island indefinitely. Don’t call me, I’ll call you.
LOVE that OPM!
RRM
Now we’re not paying for her lips she’s got to get $$$ from somewhere.
Fine . . . except her Botox and cosmetic surgery bills probably just about cover it.
I don’t like where we are as a country when hiring decisions are made on the bases of creed!
I wasn’t raised to be intolerant of any Democrat, but I’m getting pretty close to not liking them.
Nice work if you can get it.
One would think the staff, producers and ownership of NBC would have seen Ronna McDaniel as an endless source “insider” materials to bash the NEW and IMPROVED RNC, supporting President Trump … all the way through November 2024.
Then again … Ronna may not like President Trump but she is not willing to risk or willingly violate whatever Non-Disclosures she had to sign. This is why President Trump being civil with her is important. Following the law would seem so boring to folks at NBC.
She has been rather high maintenance, based on how the RNC blew through money while in her care
Maybe MSNBC just figured her out sooner than the RNC
Or, as was said, this is a payoff and “pending law(fare) suits” will determine how much more she needs
Stop the teleworship, shut the big screen OFF. TV harpies think they are important and run the country. They’re not/they don’t.
Chump change for a chump. Glad I no longer have to see her lying corrupt mug on TV pretending to support rank and file Republicans.
Worth every penny; just to be gone!
LOL. She gets hired to work on television after she alters her face to the point that it’s actually difficult to look at her without cringing. Then she gets fired 15 minutes after starting work and will probably collect double her salary for that. As Don King always used to say, “Isn’t America great!?!”
