Beni Rae Harmony, who once posed in a f--- Joe Biden T-shirt, caught the president’s eye during trip on Air Force One

As Air Force One left Ireland on Sept 13, Donald Trump entered the press cabin. He was in a good mood and holding a stack of papers.

At the top of the first page were the words: “Beni Rae Harmony”, followed by a list of bullet points. The glamorous young reporter of that name was on the plane and, over the course of the trip to Doonbeg, had become something of a star.

On the Ireland trip, the questions were focused on the vacancy in the president’s press team following Karoline Leavitt’s resignation on Aug 12.

Mr Trump was giving Ms Harmony pointed looks. At one point, he jabbed his finger in her direction. “Would anyone like to be press secretary?” he asked.

Three weeks later, on Oct 2, she announced that she would be joining the White House press team as an assistant press secretary.

In a matter of weeks, she has gone from reporting on the sidelines of the White House to an insider, and those close to the Trump administration think she could be the next Karoline Leavitt.

“There’s only one Karoline Leavitt, but Beni Rae Harmony is certainly cut from the same cloth. She’s young, fearless on camera, and deeply loyal to the president,” CJ Pearson, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee Youth Advisory Council, told The Telegraph.

Trump needs to hire this guy (above) as spokesperson, tell everyone that he now identifies as a woman and, thus, is the first female President, sit back, and watch the $hit fly.

Real America’s Voice is a conservative news outlet, not a “right-wing” outlet.

The Telegraph is a left-wing news outlet, just like CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNOW, etc.

That jet engine is Yuge.

Surprising that it doesn’t occasionally drag on the ground.

Not really. The guy standing in front of it is a leprechaun.

I don’t know; obviously, his podcast is on RAV in the morning and late afternoon.

I think his podcast started during the “pandemic” and was originally called “War Room: Pandemic.”

Goody. Another barbie doll. Trump’s style.

I want to make sure she can do the job and worry about looks later.

Among other things, Google AI sez:

“While Bannon does not own or run the corporate entity behind RAV, his show remains its foundational programming centerpiece.”

“However, Bannon played a massive role in shaping the network’s identity, popularity, and commercial viability:
• Flagship Programming: In 2019, Sigg’s network purchased the distribution rights to Bannon’s political podcast, War Room. The show became the network’s flagship program.”
