Foreign Agent Monica Crowley Gets State Dept Post

The Daily Beast reports:

President-elect Donald Trump named Monica Crowley, a former Fox News contributor, as his nominee for chief of protocol at the State Department — marking the latest network personality to land a job in the incoming administration.

Trump, an avid viewer of the right-leaning cable network, seems to be using the network as a farm team for his political appointees. His nominations include at least 12 more people who have been on the Fox payroll.

Crowley, a longtime conservative political commentator who worked for years as a Fox contributor, is also a veteran from Trump’s last administration, where she served as the assistant secretary of the Treasury for public affairs.
