President Donald Trump officially announced Thursday that former Fox News co-president and Roger Ailes ally Bill Shine has joined the White House communications department as assistant to the President and deputy chief of staff.

“He brings over two decades of television programming, communications, and management experience to the role,” the White House said in a statement. “Previously, Mr. Shine served as Co-President of Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network.”

Shine accepted the job about a week ago.

He was forced to leave his old job at Fox News in May 2017 due to accusations that he had helped cover up sexual assault claims by retaliating against or threatening victims.

  1. Who could have better qualifications for a Trump White House?

    “He was forced to leave his old job at Fox News in May 2017 due to accusations that he had helped cover up sexual assault claims by retaliating against or threatening victims.”

    Truly, one of the “best people” – if you have Donald Trump’s problems.

  2. He was forced to leave his old job at Fox News in May 2017 due to accusations that he had helped cover up sexual assault claims by retaliating against or threatening victims.

    Troll all you like Fuckface, you’re going to die in jail. Alone. Disgraced. Broke. Dead.

  3. If it ever comes out he raped one of his employees Mike Pence should be concerned. That would qualify Shine to replace him on the ticket in 2020.

  4. O/T but sad
    I really liked his show on MSMBC

  5. They can’t tell shit from Shine-ola.
