Former Rep. Liz Cheney responded to Ronna McDaniel’s appearance on Meet The Press by reminding everyone that McDaniel made Trump’s criminality possible.
Ronna facilitated the corrupt false Trump voter plot and his attempt to pressure MI officials not to certify the legitimate election result. You spread her lies and called 1/6 “legitimate political speech.” This isn’t “taking one for the team.” It allows crime and depravity.
McDaniel defended Trump diverting donations from the RNC to pay his legal bills:

Ronna McDaniel also defended her role in Trump’s coup plot:

NBC News journalists are clearly unhappy that McDaniel got a six-figure contract to join NBC News. Chuck Todd said the RNC lied and harassed reporters for six years while McDaniel was in charge.
Some people are trying to put Ronna McDaniel in the same criminal realm as Trump, but she has not been charged with any crime.
Liz Cheney is right.
Ronna McDaniel is a Trump criminal enabler and enabler.
The former RNC chairman should not be on a television network and have a platform where he can continue to lie and support Donald Trump.
This does not erase what Ronna McDaniel allowed to happen to the Republican Party and the country.
She is a facilitator of crime and McDaniel should not be compensated for her choices by NBC News.
