Also a former CNN contributor.
After returning to the United States, Ortagus joined the private sector, first as global relationship manager at Standard Chartered Bank working with clients from Asia, the Middle East and Africa, and then in 2016 as executive director at Ernst & Young (EY), where she helped found EY's Geostrategic Business Group working on geopolitical risk analysis for investors.[3][5]
In 2013, she was the vice president of the board of the Friends of the Public Private Partnership for Justice Reform in Afghanistan, based in Washington.[9]
Ortagus worked as national security contributor and Republican strategist at the Fox News Channel, appearing on Fox & Friends, Outnumbered, The Five and Mornings with Maria on the Fox Business Network.[3][5]
Ortagus and Samantha Vinograd co-founded GO Advisors, a geopolitical risk and policy advisory firm that focused on bridging divides between Wall Street and Silicon Valley with the White House and U.S. Treasury Department.[3][5]
Ortagus was on the National Board of Directors of Maverick PAC as National Co-Chair. The organization's co-founder said that Ortagus "turned the organization really into a new frontier."[7] She was also a member of the CNAS Council and Future of Sanctions Task Force, a member of the Institute for the Study of War's Advancement Committee, a board member to the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, a board member to the Friends of the American University of Afghanistan, and an advisor to Concordia where she contributed to the strategic direction and development of the organization's foreign and defense policy programming.[10] United States Department of State Ortagus with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on July 30, 2019
Ortagus returned to government in 2019 as Spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, succeeding Heather Nauert.[2][3] Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin described Ortagus as a bridge between the establishment and more conservative wings of the Republican foreign policy communities, and wrote that she was friends with Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump.[3] She served until the end of the Trump Administration, going on maternity leave in November 2020.[11] During her tenure, she promoted the Abraham Accords, which brokered peace agreements between Israel and UAE, Bahrain, and Sudan.[8] Return to private sector
Post-government, Ortagus was a Senior Advisor for the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security at the Atlantic Council, but left by March 2022.[12] She also is a founding investor of Rubicon Founders, a health-care investment firm based in Nashville, Tennessee, in February 2021.[13]
Both of them are political animals who bounce back and forth between fedgov and the private sector because it's all about connections.
In the message, Ortagus divulges she would be “moving on and going back into the Navy Reserves,” before emphasizing that in doing so, she would be be “faithfully serving the incoming Biden Administration”:
As I’ve often said, no matter what happened with the election, I was moving on and going back into the Navy Reserves. Now, like most of you, I put the career hat back on (or rather my Navy uniform!) and go in to faithfully serving the incoming Biden Administration. Catch you on the other side!
Ortagus also praised her Biden-appointed successor, Ned Price, as “fantastic”:
PS—Ned is fantastic. You’re in great hands and he’s lucky to have all of you!
The leaked email follows intense scrutiny over Ortagus’s past comments attacking Trump prior to joining his administration.
“You have somebody who makes fun of people with mental and physical disabilities. That’s disgusting; there’s no other way around it,” remarked Ortagus in January 2016 during an interview with Fox News.
Ortagus, while working for a super PAC associated with Trump’s primary opponent former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, said she “fundamentally disagree[d]” with Trump’s approach to foreign policy.
“In his gut, he does not think that Americans should be, quote unquote, the policemen of the world,” she said during a 2016 panel discussion dissecting Trump’s foreign policy speech.
“I don’t see it that way. I think that America is the glue that holds the world together. … So there were points that I agreed with him today, but overall, I fundamentally disagree with his isolationist approach to foreign policy,” she added.
Ortagus and her second husband were married by the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in 2000.
My main issue with this is not that the person is or is not qualified, or is or is not from the area originally.
My main issue is that people want to take the decision of who to vote for out of my hands and put it into their own.
I openly confess to not knowing the specifics of either candidate involved, it is the principle that rankles me.
Just another blow with the wind political animal who will choose whichever side will further her connections and career.

How true.
We should not vote for anyone who is not totally committed to doing everything they can to reduce the size, power and scope of Fedzilla. The bigger government gets, the smaller the people are. If candidates don’t get that there’s no sense in voting for them if they just going to facilitate the expansion of an already overbearing government.
Voting for people like this also reduces the chances that they will go to Washington to serve the Deep State and feather their own nests. JMHO
Hush Pubbie. Your Bush Clan are responsible for Perot, and Trump is the beneficiary of our populism. So please move on. Your GOP has been exposed for the globalist mess that it is. I live to crush it.
That all sound fantastic! Yea the smokey back room thing of the elites picking and choosing some small state and carpetbagging is not ok just because “our guy” is doing it.
Her background is a bit too State Dept/DC Swamp, imho.. Does Tennessee not have a native son or daughter worthy ?
Your example does not make her a RINO though. Just someone who either does not have the inclination, or perhaps it's the time in her case, to focus on those things, which even you admit are really rather trivial and do not necessarily hit on her other points of why she should be their representative.
But the really important aspect voters should consider, is will she work hard to make sure her constituents are well represented. That she will listen to and act in accordance to what they are asking for. Let her campaign, and let the voters make their decision.
Sounds to me that this radio interview was a setup. She was probably prepared to answer more meaty questions regarding what she would do for the people, and it threw her for such a loop that she couldn't come up with the answer, that perhaps she even knew but was now facing a temporary mental block. That has happened to me many times in my life.
Otherwise, it's just another form of cancel culture within the GOPe. If you remember correctly, they threatened the same thing with President Trump when he was Candidate Trump, especially when it became more apparent that he was going to become the nominee, and their fears prompted them to proclaim, it's our party and we will decide who is our nominee. Had they actually followed through with that, the Republican Party would have died, and a 3rd party would have arisen for those who would have finally had enough of the BS of the Stupid Party. Apparently, they are still determined to retain that moniker they have had for so long now.
She is down to earth and seriously conservative
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Ortagus is a former Christian who renounced Jesus Christ and got married by the left’s queen of the aborted child, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
And she supported Jeb in 16.
They must see you coming from a mile away. Between his endorsement of Ortegus and transgender pusher Dr.Oz, Trump has thrown away so much of his credibility. Very easy to see why he was suckered on so many of his appointments. Or Worse he’s complicit.
“She humiliated herself on the radio in a quiz about her district, she was carpetbagging RINO, I believe. This is a win for conservatives. Trump needs to get his act together with endorsements.”
Trump is losing his mojo.
Trump is paying WAY too much attention to Javanka.
Yes, she dresses up nice.
Live from Music Row Monday morning on The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy – broadcast on Nashville’s Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. – host Leahy welcomed former Trump administration Department of State Spokesperson Morgan Ortagus in studio to answer questions about Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District.
Leahy: It’s that time of day again, not for “News Potpourri.” We have a candidate for the 5th Congressional District in our studio, and we’re going to play a different game called “Taking the Fifth.”
All right. You’re a good sport here to play the game. Morgan Ortagus is here. We have candidates come in and we ask them their knowledge of the 5th Congressional District. Are you ready?
Ortagus: Yes.
Leahy: Here we go. What three interstate highways are located in the 5th Congressional District?
Ortagus: I’m a terrible driver. (Laughs) I don’t know that. I don’t drive anywhere that I go.
Leahy: Okay. It’s I-65, I-40, and I-24.
A country music superstar, a famous, multi-Grammy-Award-winning performer, has a popular winery in the center of the 5th district in Arrington, Tennessee.
Ortagus: I have been to that winery. It’s great – I love that winery. I bought some wine.
Leahy: Who owns it?
Ortagus: I don’t know who owns it, but I love it. We went there for the summer and had a picnic outside. It was beautiful.
Leahy: Kix Brooks. He’s a Tennessean.
Here’s one: Who was Brigadier General Robert Reese Neyland?
Ortagus: Fifth.
Leahy: Legendary Tennessee football coach. Neyland Stadium was named after him.
There are four previous Republican governors who are still living, and live in Tennessee. Can you name them?
Ortagus: Well, let’s see. All four of them. No. I know Lee and Haslam. I met with Haslam right after I moved here. What a nice guy. And then, of course, I’ve met Governor Lee.
Leahy: Dunn, Alexander, Sundquist.
One of the most famous NASCAR drivers living today lives in the 5th District and has a large auto dealership in Franklin. Who is that?
Ortagus: My husband is the car guy. He used to race. He knows all of the racing stuff.
Leahy: Darrell Waltrip.
This is a Tennessee one, okay?
Ortagus: I think they all are Tennessee ones.
Leahy: Crom, this might be interesting for you. Who was the only Tennessee governor who ever served time in prison for crimes committed while in office?
Ortagus: Ooh.
Carmichael: I know that one. (Leahy laughs)
Leahy: (Chuckles) Well, we’ll give you a hint. He’s a Democrat.
Ortagus: Yes, I was just going to say…
Leahy: You know the party, Ray Blanton.
A rather well-known Confederate general – one whose name and history have been a source of enormous controversy in Tennessee the last few years – was born and raised in the community of Chapel Hill, in the 5th district. Who was he?
Ortagus: I don’t know.
Leahy: Nathan Bedford Forrest.
What county is Chapel Hill in?
Ortagus: I don’t know.
Leahy: Marshall County. It’s in your district.

Perot was pro-abortion and pro-queer.
In fact, Perot was vehemently pro-abortion and directly donated millions to abortion mills.

You just revealed your true colors. It’s pretty telling that the trailer trash ilk that constantly attack the GOP would openly support such a pro-abortion, pro-queer and anti-family candidate.
Interesting background info. Thanks!
Good ‘ol boys!
It sounds even worse. She knew zip. Sounded like an airhead tbh. Note; I have no dog in the fight as I am not a resident of TN, but c’mon, she was way out of touch .
Excuse me Pubbie, about being pro-life. Your Bush Clan, cheered on by pro-abort Queen Barbara, incinerated more living Iraqi children than all the abortion mills in America combined over a lie. They are common war pigs as are their pom-pom cheerleaders.
