Why is Steve Schmidt no longer on MSNBC?

[Funtatlaguy]

I used to really enjoy him especially on Nicolle Wallace’s show.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

1. Good question.

[Deuxcents]

3. Yes..I wanna know, too.

I thought for sure his talents would be taken advantage of by now

[FSogol]

2. Because he didn't notice the sexual harassment going on at the Lincoln Project.

5. Why is that a reason for silencing hm?

MIchael Steele is still on her show

[FSogol]

15. Silenced? LOL, oh noes it's cancel culture!1!

IIRC, Steele was an advisor to that group, not a founder like Schmidt.

[LanternWaste]

16. A distinction lacking a relevant difference.

6. Lordy

Is there anywhere where this shit doesn't happen?

[lisa58]

4. Lincoln Project scandals?

Don’t know but haven’t seen him since

[jcgoldie]

7. Lincoln Project shit the bed and Schmidt is not blameless

He initially slandered the whistleblower before issuing a non-apology apology and taking his ball and going home.

8. There's been a shift in fresh faces on MSNBC. Maybe have to ask Luke Hayes' brother

..👀

[Me.]

9. No Thanks

[MOMFUDSKI]

10. I think

Schmidt had a bit of a nervous breakdown. Said he was taking some time . . . . But that Lincoln Project made a TON of money so who knows? Maybe was in it for the bucks until the shit hit the fan.

[Tripper11]

11. I think it's just a normal pr strategy

Take some time away, let the other shit happen, keep out of trouble, and come back after things settle down, and pick up where you left off.

[OnDoutside]

17. I agree, Rick is back in full swing in the last few weeks, so no doubt

Schmidt will be ramping up soon too.

[tirebiter]

12. I thought it was because he's actively running for office

[spooky3]

13. He withdrew from the public eye for awhile.

And I suspect that, unless and until his role in the Lincoln Project mess is sorted out, he may keep a low profile.

14. Saw an article

where he discussed his recent depression. Said he's feeling better now. Two or three days ago.

[Rustyeye77]

18. That's what I read...depression.

He’s a pretty intense guy and he doesn’t smile much.

I’m a big fan.
