McEnany, former President Donald Trump’s final press secretary, didn’t speak about her new role during an interview with Fox’s Harris Faulkner that aired Tuesday.
Fox seems to just have announced that they've hired Kayleigh McEnany
"It's my distinct pleasure today to welcome Kayleigh McEnany to the Fox Family"

It was reported in January that McEnany had disclosed to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics while still in office that she would work for Fox after leaving the White House. Fox said at the time that it had been in discussions with McEnany but had paused them.
Before working for Trump, McEnany was a commentator at CNN.
While at the White House, McEnany frequently appeared on Fox News programs for interviews.
She said Tuesday that her biggest regret at the White House was not being able to hold a briefing outlining all the accomplishments of the Trump administration.
“But after Jan. 6, it just was not tenable,” she said.
She said that “everyone in the administration was horrified” by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, led by a mob of Trump supporters, but she insisted that it did not represent the former president’s backers.
Asked if she believed Trump bore any responsibility for the riot, she said, “No, I don’t.”
Trump was impeached by the House on a charge of incitement of insurrection over the insurrection but acquitted by the House. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell voted to acquit Trump, citing the fact that the former president was out of office by the time the Senate trial began, but McConnell said Trump was “practically and morally responsible for provoking” the riot.
Will Trump be the next to get a job at Fox? Fox and the former Trump administration seem deeply entangled.
A tale of 2 Americas.
Those who love America, focus on its great accomplishments.
And those who focus only on the negative and seek to portray that small percentage as if was doom & gloom.
God bless America!
Try living in another country before you spew blasphemy on America.
How do you know when Kayleigh McEnany is lying? When her lips are moving. (Same goes for Trump)
She lied through her foul peh every day in support of Trump’s 40,000+ lies and attempts to destabilize America.. She’ll be great on Faux News.
