Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Still, McDaniel maintained, “I don’t hold [Trump] responsible for” the attack at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

A person whose opinion means nothing to me.

I'm not sure what could feel more like a slap in the face, NBC hiring this moron or us posting what she said to validate it. FFS

First of all, bullshit, she agrees with whatever the orange rapist wants.

Secondly, NBC has no fucking idea how badly they’ve kicked themselves in the nuts by hiring her. Morans.

If she disagrees with the plan, she better get the fuck off the Trump Train.

If you're on a boat where there's a mutiny, you can't really be halfway in the mutiny but also hedging your bets saying you don't agree with everything the mutineers are doing. The outcome is going to be one or the other.

Ronald McDonald's opinion on any topic is irrelevant. She is not human. She is a conservative troll.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Former Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel said Sunday that she disagrees with former President Donald Trump’s plan to free those charged and convicted of crimes in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“Do you disagree with Trump saying he’s going to free those who have been charged?” NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker asked.

Welker pressed McDaniel on why she didn't speak out earlier about Trump's plan to free people charged for Jan. 6 crimes.

The statement marks a shift from her interview last year with Chris Wallace on CNN in which she refused to say the election was fair and that “there were a lot of problems with 2020.”

NBC News Chief Political Analyst Chuck Todd questioned the veracity of McDaniel’s remarks on "Meet the Press" on Sunday and took issue with her coming on as a paid contributor.

Looking to the 2024 presidential election, McDaniel said it’s OK for money given to Trump’s joint fundraising committee to flow first to a group that pays his legal bills as long as donors are informed.
