Quelle Surprise: Karoline Leavitt Is Joining Fox News As Network Infuriates Trump
In a move that comes as a shocking surprise to precisely no one, the New York Times has confirmed that former Trump White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is slated to join Fox News as an on-air contributor. According to the report, Leavitt is expected to start with the network on November 1, and Fox is expected to make an official announcement soon.
In a statement published by the Times, Fox News Media CEO said, "Karoline’s firsthand experience in the White House and on the presidential campaign trail gives her a distinct understanding of today’s political landscape."
Karoline gave her own statement to the NYT, promising to offer viewers "the unique perspective and candor that defined my tenure with the Trump administration."
Leavitt joins Dana Perino and Kayleigh McEnany as former White House press secretaries who ended up at Fox.
Karoline's move to Fox comes as her former boss, President Trump, has repeatedly expressed his outrage with the network, most recently complaining that Fox has not adequately covered his recent rallies.
Just yesterday morning, he raged, "Fox spends more time talking to Communists, Socialists, and Dumocrats, often without rebuttal, and MAGA is not, to put it mildly, happy."

Todd Blanche Defends DOJ Sending Federal Agents To Polling Stations
Responding to critics of the DOJ sending a thousand "election monitors" to polling stations during the midterms," Atty. Gen. Todd Blanche claimed the DOJ has been doing it since the 60s and Senators should instead thank God they are doing it.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin is, "introducing a new bill to protect voters from intimidation or interference by federal agents at polling locations called the Safe Access to the Polls Act."
Blanche was on Fox News Sunday today and received no pushback for many of his answers.
BREAM: The DOJ planning to send out a thousand monitors to the polls during the midterm elections," Shannon Bream said.
Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin has said this about the upcoming election. She says our democracy demands or depends on Americans being able to show up at the ballot box and have their voices heard.
But that's all at risk this November as President Trump openly weighs sending in armed federal agents to our schools, churches, fire stations and other polling locations.
So what exactly is the plan? Who are these monitors gonna be?
And how do you answer critics who say it's about intimidation?
BLANCHE: I wish that the senators that are in the congressmen that are saying this fear of fear-mongering false statements would just not do that.
It's not fair to the American people.

White House Calls Republican Senator A ‘P*ssy’ After He Told Trump To F*ck Off
The White House has responded to the explosive text messages that Sen. Thom Tillis sent to Donald Trump earlier this year, and the response is almost as remarkable as the messages themselves. But it's predictable for the Trump White House.
As we noted on Friday, Tillis told Trump in one text that he had never been directly threatened with a primary contest—and said that if Trump had actually made such a threat, he would have told him to “f*ck yourself”
Tillis’s messages, which are expected to appear in his upcoming book, showed the senator bluntly rejecting Trump’s attacks and political pressure. In one message, Tillis told Trump that he did not take “bullshit” from anyone and warned that the country was failing. In another, he said that if Trump had personally threatened him with a primary rival, he would have told the president to “fuck yourself” and immediately announced his retirement.
“I don’t take this bullsh*t from anyone, including you,” Tillis wrote, adding that Trump should save the threats and games for people who didn't care whether he succeeded.
“I care if you fail,” Tillis added, “and right now we are failing.”

JD Vance Calls Jeffrey Epstein ‘Great Character Reference’ For Trump
Clearly, Sean Hannity was hoping Vice President J.D. Vance would have some memeable defense for the Trump administration’s ongoing cover-up of the Epstein files. What he got was memeable alright, but for a whole ‘nother reason.
Hannity tried to raise the matter gently during his interview with Vance. “I’ve had a lot of callers, maybe they’re mad, I don’t know,” Hannity said. But believe me, he knows they’re mad. Then he came out with it. “Some people are still mad over the Epstein files,” he said.
Vance’s response was a stunner.
“Donald Trump threw that idiot out of his club what 25, 30 years ago, and wanted nothing to do with him,” Vance began. “And when you look at the Epstein files, which were released, we've got millions and millions of documents that have been out there. Sean, what is the one obvious thing? One, Donald Trump didn't just throw him out of his club. He turned Jeffrey Epstein into the local police for being a creep.”
Reality check: Trump did not turn Epstein into the police. However, Trump’s 2006 phone call to then-Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter, telling him that Epstein's sex crimes were well known in New York and Palm Beach, contradicts his claim not to have known about them.
Nobody should be surprised that Hannity let the lie go uncorrected.
