The announcement of the hiring of former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany by Fox News was greeted with both laughter and disgust on Twitter Tuesday afternoon after weeks of rumors that it was already a done deal.
McEnany got her start as a television pundit on CNN where she memorably claimed, "Donald Trump has shown himself to be a showman, I don't think he is a serious candidate," as well as calling him a "racist" before having a change of heart when she was offered the White House position after her predecessor, Stephanie Grisham, stepped down in April of 2020 without ever holding a press conference.
Needless to say, McEnany's new gig invited quite a flurry of commentary which you can see below:
