Fox News analyst Monica Crowley is under consideration to be President-elect Trump's press secretary according to multiple reports. She joins Republican National Committee chief strategist Sean Spicer, Trump's Communications Adviser Jason Miller, conservative radio host Laura Ingraham and Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, in the White House Press Secretary sweepstakes. Crowley is the latest name to be floated as a contender for the top communications position.
Via the Hill:
Crowley, who is also a regular columnist for the Washington Times, was an early and vocal supporter of Trump. Politico noted that she warned Fox not to underestimate Trump when he launched his presidential bid last year.
But Laura Ingraham, another contender for the job, is still jockeying for the position. The conservative radio host also wants to expand the position by having a bigger role in policymaking, according to sources cited by Politico.
Ingraham recently confirmed on "Fox News Sunday” that she was under consideration for the gig.
“It's an intriguing idea," she said.
Both women were loyal supporters of Trump from the very beginning of his campaign, but Ingraham managed to get on the wrong side of many conservatives while Crowley did not. Because she never attacked the "Never Trumpers" the way Ingraham did, Crowley would be a less divisive choice.
In a column published in June 2015, not long after Trump announced his bid for the presidency, Crowley accurately predicted that he was "resurrecting the great, 'silent majority,'" a term she borrowed from her old employer, former President Richard Nixon.
Crowley explained her thinking on election night on Fox news.
"Three weeks after Donald Trump announced for President... I came onto Fox News and I said stop laughing, do not underestimate him, he can win the whole thing," she said.
Monica Crowley: 2016 will be a change election
alan colmes is now climbing up on the step ladder with the noose around his skinny neck
LAURA INGRAHAM is my first choice.
LOL!
You can choose your friends, but cannot choose your relatives.
Good choice!!!
Monica Crowley is a plagiarist notorious for lifting whole passages from Paul Johnson’s work on Richard Nixon’s final days as President.
I can’t abide a thief in the White House who steals other people’s hard work and doesn’t give them credit for it.
Mine, too. Get her off the air and replace her with somebody I can stand listening to. Mmmyaw.
"Listen, you Morons, don't twist my words or I'll run all your liberal asses out of here!"
Agreed
The White House Press Secretary position is really beneath someone like Laura Ingraham who has professional credentials outside journalism. This position is really for political hacks.
what about Katrina?
[The White House Press Secretary position is really beneath someone like Laura Ingraham]
It’s time to raise it up a notch or two. LAURA would approach the position from a CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW. The world would see her light shine for JESUS. Believe me, it would not be politics as usual on LAURA’S watch.
I thought Milo had the job.
She’s beautiful, sexy and brilliant! Liberal heads exploding everywhere.
Diamond and Silk would be the best pick. The Lib’s heads would explode.
Do you really want a press secretary who eats lunch at the podium and then belches?? On the other hand...
Im ok witht that put him out of his misery
If Monica stole from you, you’d still give her a pass, right?
A person must have irreproachable integrity for this kind of job.
She is absolutely unqualified for it. Character matters.
For Goodness sakes, hasn’t this been debunked already?
