‘Pretentious Bullsh*t’: Geraldo Slams MSNBC Hosts for Complaining About Ronna McDaniel Hiring

EXCERPT:

RIVERA: “Screw them. I mean, I — I like everyone you just named. I don’t know Chuck Todd, but Mika and Joe and I heard Nicole Wallace said something bad against Ronna McDaniel. I mean, the whole idea is that they were hiring her to be the ultimate insider, and here she gets washed away, she gets drowned by this tsunami of pretentious bullsh*t! Really, all of these people that have a stick up their behinds, how dare they! And for Mika to say NBC shouldn’t hire them, when did she become management? When did she become the — you know, the — the arbiter of who got hired and who doesn’t get hired? And Chuck Todd, I don’t remember his years — his nine years at ‘Meet the Press’ as being exactly triumphant. You know, she is the ultimate insider, and to say that they don’t want to hire her now because of election denialism, well then you don’t want half the country to watch your network because half the country is Republican, more or less, and they —- they believe — a lot of them — or at least they’ve convinced themselves, about the election being, you know, fraudulent or whatever it is. Now, I think that she’s wrong. I think that the Republican Party is going off the cliff. But the — the fact is they hired her to be who she is, who she was, and for them now, these other talent, you know, some of them past their prime, to — to — to go after her, and then they won’t have her — I — I think that’s — that’s baloney.”
