Rachel Maddow Is ‘Really Happy’ Brian Williams Is Coming to MSNBC

‘To give him the chance to do that is not to excuse what he did wrong, it is to give him the chance to redeem himself’

MADDOW: "I want you to know that I, personally, not speaking for anybody else other than myself, I'm really happy that Brian Williams is coming here to MSNBC and that's first, because he's apologized. He's acknowledged what he did. He apologized for it and he has been through the most fantastically humbling experience that you can imagine since he left ‘Nightly’ back in February. The fact that he wants to come back on those terms and not slink away, right, the fact he wants to work from that point, he wants to work his way back in to earning people's trust again, I think that’s exactly the way second chances should work. To give him the chance to do that is not to excuse what he did wrong, it is to give him a chance to redeem himself. I believe in that."
