In a move that comes as a shocking surprise to precisely no one, the New York Times has confirmed that former Trump White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is slated to join Fox News as an on-air contributor. According to the report, Leavitt is expected to start with the network on November 1, and Fox is expected to make an official announcement soon.
In a statement published by the Times, Fox News Media CEO said, “Karoline’s firsthand experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her a distinct understanding of today’s political landscape.”
Karoline gave her own statement to the NYT, promising to offer viewers “the unique perspective and candor that defined my tenure with the Trump administration.”
Leavitt joins Dana Perino and Kayleigh McEnany as former White House press secretaries who ended up at Fox.
Karoline’s move to Fox comes as her former boss, President Trump, has repeatedly expressed his outrage with the network, most recently complaining that Fox has not adequately covered his recent rallies.
Just yesterday morning, he raged, “Fox spends more time talking to Communists, Socialists, and Dumocrats, often without rebuttal, and MAGA is not, to put it mildly, happy.”
