Well before the media projected Joe Biden to be the winner of the presidential election last November, rabid left-wing commentators and anti-Trump “news” outlets like CNN and MSNBC warmed up to the idea of effectively ostracizing and canceling Trump officials from polite society with no job prospects in place because they had the audacity to serve in the Trump administration.
Enemies lists were proposed in certain elite leftist/Never Trump (but I repeat myself) circles. Even so-called journalists like CNN’s Jake Tapper jumped onboard with the idea of life being made harder for former Trump officials who were trying to provide for their families.
“I truly sympathize with those dealing with losing — it’s not easy,” Tapper stated just a few days after the election. “[B]ut at a certain point one has to think not only about what’s best for the nation (peaceful transfer of power) but how any future employers might see your character defined during adversity.”
Though he denied it later, it was a clear threat and one that was echoed in so many words by his colleagues at the network (like Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy) and elsewhere on both social media and in left-wing newsrooms.
Unfortunately for the cancel culturalists on the left, some Trump loyalists who played a prominent role in his administration are not going quietly into the night. For instance, former Trump press secretary Sarah Sanders declared she was running for governor of Arkansas just days after Joe Biden’s inauguration.
And Kayleigh McEnany, the Trump press secretary the left perhaps despised most of all, has a new gig as a Fox News contributor, which the network confirmed today:
Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has joined the Fox News family.Harris Faulkner informed viewers on Tuesday during an exclusive interview with McEnany on “The Faulkner Focus.”
“It is my distinct pleasure today to welcome Kayleigh McEnany to the Fox family. We will be seeing much more of her in the future,” Faulkner said.
Watch Faulkner make the announcement below:

"It is my distinct pleasure today to welcome Kayleigh Mcenany to the Fox family. We'll be seeing much more of her in the future."

CNN’s resident media hall monitor Brian Stelter proclaimed McEnany’s hiring was just another example of how Fox News is “the Trump White House in exile” (as opposed to numerous CNN contributors, many of who are either former Obama officials are who are prominent members of the DNC):
Perhaps we should start referring to CNN and MSNBC as the “Obama White House in exile”?
And in a straight-up meta moment, here’s a “senior fellow” at Media Matters amplifying the Daily Beast’s anonymously sourced “report” on the Fox staffers who are allegedly not happy with the announcement, noting there was “not a lot of daylight” between MM and the “insiders”

Probably more bucks at Faux News, but would have been nice to see her on OAN or Newsmax.
They thought she should basically go commit suicide.
Trump made a bunch of terrible hires but his press secretaries (not counting Spicer or the Mooch) were outstanding. Sarah Huckabee was tremendous and the Kayleigh McEnany was possibly even better (just because the made the press turn purple with rage when she pulled out her binder and destroyed them with facts coupled with a healthy dose of snark).
I think that the problem is Trump and his supporters are canceling so-called "polite" society, you know, like the Bushes etc.
Thought Police are set out to unperson Trump and his prominent supporters. Send them all down the Memory Hole. Freeper deprogramming to follow.

MFers like Tapper would gladly load you and you family onto cattle cars bound for the extermination camps.
Well I can’t get OAN and Newsmax, so I am glad FOX News hired her. If you don’t want to watch her on FOX News, that’s your problem.
A great addition to the long, prestigious conservative lineup of Fox News contributors. Congrats to Kayleigh and kudos to FNC for hiring her.
I'm shocked! /s
Now she will have to spout the Fox left leaning line or they will Lou Dobbs her. I wish her well. She is a hard worker and a truth teller (if Fox lets her).
Since they cancelling us, maybe we should cancel them.
Conservative businesses hiring only proven Trump supporters? Create a list of banned liberals? Boycott of liberal businesses!
That was awesome when she did that. She was almost savant-like in being able to flip those pages and start dropping bombs. Her sarcasm was icing on the cake.
No circling back for her.
Trump - Greene 2024.
Still refuse to watch it...
If Kayleigh signed on with OANN, the network would instantly become mainstream and EVERYBODY would be able to get it.
Still not enough to lure me back. About the only way I’ll ever tune Faux back in is if Trump makes regular appearances and I had no access to OAN or SnoozeMax.
That binder was gold, Jerry....gold.
I have no problem with her being on Faux News, and I have no problem with not watching her or anything else on the channel. Freedom to choose.
Besides, she’s adorable too!
