Chuck "Both Sides" Todd thinks NBC went too far.

During the interview, McDaniel indicated that she disagreed with Trump’s pledge to pardon rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6th. She also said that she believes that Joe Biden was elected president “fair and square.” But Welker pressed McDaniel on her past refusal to say that Biden was legitimately elected, running a clip from an interview she gave to Chris Wallace on CNN in July.

“I don’t think he won it fair,” McDaniel said in that interview.

Her qualifications are being born into a wealthy political family and getting a BA in English from a religious school associated with the teachings of snake oil salesmen who hardcoded institutionalized racism and sexism into their religion. Not a specific or even a general study of political theory or history, constitutional law (or any other type), or journalism. Then working for a lobbyist media company, followed by nepotism and then shilling for Trump.
