Trump Administration Rewards Fawning Fox & Friends Host With Gig As State Department Spokesperson

The Daily Beast reports:

Fox & Friends news anchor Heather Nauert was officially announced Monday as the next spokeswoman for the U.S. State Department. Mark Toner, a holdover from the Obama administration, was relieved of his duties.

“Heather’s media experience and long interest in international affairs will be invaluable as she conveys the Administration’s foreign policy priorities to the American people and the world,” the State Department said in a press release. Fox & Friends is a Trump-friendly morning show that the president himself is known to regularly watch.

Shortly after Nordstrom dropped Ivanka’s line, Nauert posted several now-deleted tweets accusing the chain of “caving 2 liberal pressure” and vowed to wear Ivanka’s shoes on the air.
