CNN host Fareed Zakaria criticized NBC News for hiring and promptly firing former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
Zakaria appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday to discuss McDaniel’s brief contract that began and ended this past week. MSNBC hosts had voiced their disagreement with McDaniel’s hire over her political views.
