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.

She went into the “Witness protection program”
Witless protection?
That’s good – very good..( only those who don’t have a Clue can get in it – and she had no problem on that score )
Looks like Ronna gets an all-expenses-paid vacation to Never-Never Land.
Just Chump’s change in a manner of speaking …
Now hunt down who hired her we need a villain.
🤣 🤣
It also generated great memes!
Is Mis-Species-ing a thing?
It is now that you mentioned it.
Perhaps Ronna is Native American. She does have those “highs cheekbones” bought and paid for by RNC donors.
Ahhh, Rachael Maddow… I always picture a giraffe when she appears in the cold open on “The War Room”!
And to think this thing whatever it is gets paid 30 million a year!
Ronna addresses 60 IQ, nutcase Maddow as sir.
That humourous.
She wasn’t that far off.
Sure Ronna hated Trump but she just didn’t hate Trump enough! LOL
Wow,
Maybe I should get in on being a soulless operative for corporatist mega donors and sell out people I claim to fight for while positioning myself for an even bigger payday after I fail miserably at representing the core values I claim to espouse.
I’m simply in the wrong line of work.
Stupid me.

Hilarious!! I love the Bee!
This type of deal is probably familiar to Ronna. She seemed to have rather extravagant spending proclivities while RNC chair.
And never had to work there either. At least not for the group that hired her. She seems good at getting paid to not work for the company that hires her.
Yep , and 10% for the big guy(mittens) and another 10 for the cult in Salt Lake City!
The burn rate with a New York City florist, wont last 3 months on 600g.
It’s exactly like Fox News paying out Dominion. They are just getting a little more clever and in our face with the payments. And they are hard to call out as fraudulent. Because what you posit is exactly what I’ve been thinking since she was fired.
MSNBC hooks her up. Their on air talent look like hero’s to their base viewer. And no conservative views (whether fake or not) have to be played on msn airwaves.
And some Leftist billionaire probably reimbursed NBC the $600G’s from what he dug out of the couch cushions on his mega-yacht.
Almost as many minutes, as she worked at the RNC.
Of course it’s intentional. The potential book title of “Born to Sabotage” wouldn’t have netted her that amount; which, before it’s all over, will net her more than the $600,000…attorney fees, pain and suffering, defamation of character, hotel/housing fees for litigation…
One must have character to defame…
Flowers…
Prove it. Prove they planned to hire her, then fire her, just to launder money.

Standing up for Ronna? Good for you.
Naw just wondering why you took the tack you did?
Have a day.

Sounds like McDaniel will need every penny to sue NBC for defamation. Couldn’t happen to a more worthy RINO.
Still won’t be enough to fix that face cause ugly goes clear through to the bone!
Now THAT is a real HORSE face!
At least Hunter painted his artwork.
I’d venture a guess he did not. Crappy as it may be, he probably couldn’t even do that himself.
If he was on a full – blown crack bender, well…
And attached classified documents to the back.
I bet she donates all $600K to Trump’s SuperPAC…. AHAHAHAHHAHHAH…
sorry.
He would donate it to charity. She’ll spend it on 2 gallon aspartame fizzies.
Payoff for the years of deliberately losing elections and all the RNC donations spent.

“Crack pipe”. Fixed it for ya. 😉
The golden parachute pay-off for her effort lying to and deceiving the American voter.
Just want to add that Fox never paid Dominion a multi-million dollar settlement. Theyre on the same team.

<That means that her single, not-quite-20-minute interview Sunday could cost NBC more than $30,000 per minute, or $500 per second.>
Actually, that cost will be (eventually) carried by the people who are paying NBC.
No, not the advertisers because they’re not paying money to NBC because they want to git rid of money, they pay NBC so they make more by selling products to those who watch their crap.
If NBC raises it advertising rates, it will just get passed on to the consumers.
The cost will also be carried by the cable subscribers.
Another reason to cut the cord. Now.
You are exactly right. The best decision we ever made was to cut the cable cord in 2016.
I got hired, I got fired, but I made $60K. She has to claim that income on her tax returns. It is NOT tax free as it was NOT from a legal judgement. Stupid is as stupid does.
That ought to keep her in lips for a few years.
Thank you, I had to ask a friend if she did that on purpose. Hidious
Yep. It is done to smooth out the wrinkles around the mouth.
perfect!

After listening to Rachel Madow’s expose on the hiring and firing of Ronna McDaniel, I would think Ms. McDaniel would have strong grounds for a defamation lawsuit. Rachel Madow’s slanderous diatribe was off the charts.
I thought it was a scam from the get go. Sleepy Eyes Chuck Toad has a hissy fit and suddenly they fire her. After one day?
Bull.
Whore
I guess the “book deal” was getting old.
🤨
Even a ghost writer couldn’t turn Ronna into enough words to fill a book.
It does save a few trees and some sale space on the .99 cent table at Sam’s Club. It also spares us from the add nauseam saturation campaign that goes with such a venture.
I don’t use a spell check. I’d call the action a breach of contract rather than a breech of contract. I’m old and started my schooling in a rural two-roomer. Usage errors such as this one are glaring to me.
Drive on.
Breech is correct, if she was intended to go out with a bang.
Taking over for Wordsmith, mon ami? 😉😁
Too bad Chuck Todd can’t take a pay hit as a result. He spearheaded the effort and is a useless hack.
NBC paid Megyn Kelley $50M to go away… $600K is nothing.
Rumor has it that they threw in a plate of pork chops…..
Amazing that a piss ant, failed lefty media operative, like Chuck Todd, can dictate to media CEOs who should and shouldn’t be allowed a voice in today’s media matrix. Forty years ago they would have squashed Todd and his “Journolist” comrades like a bug…
The FILTHY Ron DeSantis Book Bribe Deal is now the 1 Day Pundit Scam.
Now she can buy friends Instead of Lips and Nosejobs
It is all money laundering in the end.
Well, Pierre Delecto is pissed now. At Bain Capital it often took him much longer than 20 minutes to screw someone out of $600K. So he’s gonna strap the dog to the roof of the car again and go for a long ride to blow off some steam
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
That makes perfect sense, everyone is running out of time….
How about punishment for NBC, boycott all products advertised on their to lefty operative media platform…
What controversial remarks did she make? I heard none.
People watch cable tv news shows to hear discussions on controversial issues! No?
My take: 1.) when pressed, she refused to place direct blame on Trump for J6, and 2.) when pressed, she said Biden is the “legitimate President”, but there were major questions and problems with 2020 — specifically pointing out need to audit Wayne County and threats to election officials to certify, lack of signature verification all over the place, courts going over the heads of State Legislatures and allowing all sorts of ballot shenanigans, massive ballot numbers in Pennsylvania, etc.
I think Number Two caused Maddow and NBC execs to do a little Number One in their boxer shorts.
Cued…
Consider her “early retirement” to an NBC-paid sabbatical for her to rush out that ghostwritten acid-pen memoir about how she was ‘wronged’ by Trump. Since the writers at NBC probably already had a draft ready for her to attach her name onto it can probably be out and on the shelves well before November. I’m sure Uncle Mitt can write the forward with help from Liz Cheney, Lisa Murkowski and Adam Kinzinger.
Sounds like FOX agreeing to pay Dominion $800 million for reporting obvious irregularities in the ballot counts and a Dominion executive claiming he screwed Trump good making sure he didn’t win!
Money is pretty cold comfort for humiliation and Maga wrath.
New record for one night stand
This is NOT a payoff. I repeat… This is NOT a payoff.
< Umm… yea, it was all planned >
10% for Mittens.
You are right!

I guess paying people off with book deals is over…now they just hire them for a day or two, fire them, and pay out their massive contracts. Amazing how it works.
If she wins 600000 she should let the commies that ran her off know 300000 is going to trump. For legal bills
Well those fat lip treatments ain’t gonna pay for themselves.
What an incredible opportunity missed! They hooked the supreme RINO of all time and could’ve milked her for all sorts of never-Trumper dumps. Their ratings would’ve skyrocketed for those 38% who think Biden is doing a good job.
Maybe they dumped her because they know that 38% figure is really more like 3.8%
Great point. While most things with leftists are scams, extrapolating a conspiracy here is a stretch. It’s just leftists being the a holes they are.
Another tax-deductable money laundering tactic is ‘sued’n’settle’.
