The Democrats couldn't have had a better ally in the RNC.

Really shameful hire by MSNBC. She directly participated in the schemes to overturn the election.

Ouch! You guys turn on your leaders pretty fast. Pence was great until that one day… This lady went from leader of the Republican Party to evil devil spawn overnight.

Twitter is just awash in silly Trumpers and blue checks farming clicks, oh and porn bots. It's so bad now. If it weren't the easiest place to follow all sports I wouldn't need it.

It wasn't overnight, but I'm sure it seems that way, since following the RNC isn't a focus of yours.

Idk anyone that truly trusted Pence, even from the beginning when he was picked as VP. He was picked as a concession to the establishment Reps.

This is about regular media, not social. Glad to see that MSNBC is reversing this decision. Ronna McDaniel is an insurrectionist and liar and has no business at a news network.

Pence totally kissed Trumps ass in every possible way and stuck up for him in every possible way…until Trump asked him to do something so ridiculous and anti American that Pence couldn’t do it. Then the hang Mike Pence chants rang out after Trump threw him under the bus and blamed him for ruining his scheme.

I don’t follow the leaders of the RNC that well for sure. The leader of the RNC being replaced with Trumps daughter in law sure does sound like a power/money grab to me. I wasn’t getting many messages from the GOP until the day she took office. Now my messages have been flooded by the GOP begging me for money in various ways. Most of them lately have been aggressive. “Are you going to step up or not”.

I’m sure Trump had 400,000,000 reasons why he thought his daughter would make a better leader of the RNC.

Ronna did a horrible job in 2020 elections and then did even worse in the 2022 mid-terms. You can sing her praises all you want, but you're coming from an opposing and less knowledgeable pov to the situation. I'll say this again, but it's just going to get ignored. There were many candidates in the mid-term that had close races and a very realistic opportunity to win those seats where the RNC refused to give money to. Instead they wasted millions on candidates that had zero chance. Campaigns were begging them for money to get them over the top and she again and again turned a blind eye toward them. Even without the money they were extremely close races, yet where she decided to spend lost by 10 points or more. That's insane, and it comes off as an RNC that didn't want to win or was working for the DNC. Hence, the uniparty claims.

So now Trumps daughter is there to make sure all the money goes to candidates to help get them elected and not to pay her father in laws legal bills. I have all the faith in the world….

Well, supposedly Trump has all this cash saved for his campaign, and Truth Social is about to go public, so he could have another windfall in at least net worth increased by up to $3.5 billion.

It seems bad to me that the owner and CEO of a major social platform is so openly stating that he's on one side in a crucial election year.

He's not saying that he's going to put his thumb on the scales like the previous owners of Twitter did the last Presidential election or like Zuckerburg is with IG and Facebook.

The idea that Truth Social is worth billions of dollars is preposterous. This is a way for rich people to funnel money to Trump.

Those people / networks did not "put (their) thumb on the scales" in previous elections. That's untrue right-wing BS.

Did the Hunter Biden Laptop story get suppressed on Twitter? Did Zuckerburg ban a ton of people and donate $400 million for mail in ballots?
Yes, they objectively put their thumbs on the scale in a massive way, as did/does Google. Saying they didn't is just untrue left-wing BS.
