A chorus of MSNBC personnel took to the airwaves Monday to voice a stunning public protest of their own company's decision to hire former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel as a paid contributor including Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, Joy Reid, Joe Scarborough, Lawrence O'Donnell and Jen Psaki - citing her support of Donald Trump's baseless claims of a stolen 2020 presidential election.

I hope he'd had his shots
