'Screw them!' Geraldo Rivera publicly criticized MSNBC hosts and NBC News following the network's decision to terminate Ronna McDaniel, the former Republican National Committee (RNC) chair. Rivera labeled the MSNBC hosts' reactions as a 'tsunami of pretentious bulls**t' and accused them of being a 'cabal of aging superstars' responsible for what he termed 'censorship.' The controversy stems from NBC News' initial hiring and subsequent firing of McDaniel, which faced internal protest due to her association with efforts to challenge an American election result. Rivera's comments sparked debate, with some agreeing with his stance on censorship, while others, including a participant in the segment, disagreed, arguing that NBC News simply rectified a mistake in hiring McDaniel.
