From Trump’s late night Truth Social post:
It is my great honor to announce that Tammy Bruce will be joining our incredible Nominee for United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, as Spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State.
Tammy is a highly respected political analyst who understood the power and importance of “MAGA” early on. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science at the University of Southern California and, after being a liberal activist in the 1990s, saw the lies and fraud of the Radical Left, and quickly became one of the strongest Conservative voices on Radio and Television.
As one of the longest serving News Contributors, Tammy has brought TRUTH to the American People for over two decades. I know she will bring that same strength of conviction and fearless spirit to her new position as State Department Spokesperson.
By my count, Tammy Bruce is the 12th current or former Fox News personality so far tapped to join the Trump administration.
Bruce appeared here days ago when she called Biden a “jerk and mean bully” for pointing out that Jimmy Carter never made fun of someone’s appearance, unlike her Glorious Leader.
In other recent JMG appearances she declared that “we’ve always seen honesty with President Trump” and condemned “woke” retailers for daring to sell Pride Month merchandise.
In 2022, Bruce claimed that Disney was guilty of a “hate crime hoax” for opposing Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law.
In 2021, she told Fox viewers that she wished she could “give back” her COVID vaccine and later warned them that China was creating “human chimeras” – a favorite claim of Alex Jones.
In 2018, Bruce told Fox viewers that the civil rights movement had become “dangerous” by criticizing homophobes, saying that liberals want to “destroy us for sometimes making a mistake, using a word that’s not approved of, or because we frighten or offend people because of a different lifestyle choice.”
In 2017, she earned national outrage and ultimately apologized for mocking an autistic child as a “snowflake” during a Fox News segment.
And of course, Bruce has appeared here multiple times for her lies about “stolen elections,” undocumented immigrants, and various LGBTQ rights issues.
Congratulations to @HeyTammyBruce! Incredible choice! https://t.co/qcA4Y87NfS

Actually, Tammy Bruce was very anti-Trump in 2015/2016, right up until Trump became the inevitable nominee. Then (like many other media-conservatives), she flipped on a dime, deleted a bunch of her old tweets, and blocked those of us who noticed. https://t.co/oedHksOswE
