President Trump nabbed another former Fox News alum to serve as the new State Department spokesperson, NBC News reported.
Morgan Ortagus is a former Fox News contributor and Naval Reserve officer who will bring significantly more foreign policy experience to the new position than her predecessor. Heather Nauert, also a Fox News alum, quickly became a favorite of the Trump administration and was set to replace Nikki Haley as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations before she abruptly withdrew herself from consideration in recent months following criticism over her lack of experience.
Ortagus worked in the Treasury Department during the first term of President Obama’s administration and previously worked in public affairs for the U.S. Agency for International Development, which is overseen by the State Department.
It is unclear when the official announcement will be made, according to NBC. Fox News told NBC that it had severed ties with Ortagus as of Thursday.
For Trump’s next big job vacancy he should consider Roger Ailes. I hear he’s doing great things lately.
Ken Lay and Roger Ailes are partying like it’s 1999 at a mega-dacha on the Black Sea.
Can we just make it official and put Fox News on the federal payroll? At least then we could get FOIA disclosures from them.
Why not just clone Joseph Goebbels, and be done with it, Hair Furor?
Does anyone really care about what the Pompeo led state department has to say? I mean other than supporting Netanyahu and giving nukes to the Saudis do we even have a foreign policy?
