Mike Pompeo Joins Fox News as Paid Contributor--Because of Course

Yet another member of Team Trump has joined Fox News.

The conservative cable network announced Thursday that it has signed ex-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as a paid on-air contributor. Pompeo is scheduled to make his first appearance as a network employee on Friday’s broadcast of Fox & Friends.

“Mike Pompeo is one of America’s most recognized and respected voices on foreign policy and national security issues. I look forward to his contributions across our range of platforms to share his distinct perspective with our millions of viewers,” Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said in a press release.

“As a now former diplomat and member of Congress, and in this new role at FOX News Media, I intend to give viewers a candid, no-nonsense look at geopolitics, international relations and the America First policies that helped chart the course for unprecedented American prosperity and security,” Pompeo added.

He has such a dazzling and charismatic personality! Not exactly TV material, but then again, it IS Fox. I really don't see him lasting there very long though. He is much too stodgy and dull for Fox viewers.
