Fox News has hired former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as a contributor, the network announced Thursday.

Fox News’s hiring of Pompeo, already a frequent guest on the network, installs another top Trump administration official and staunch defender of the former president as a fixture on the network, which has also brought on former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. Fox News announced last week that McEnany would co-host "Outnumbered," which airs weekdays at noon.

Pompeo will offer analysis on Fox News and Fox Business network both during the day and during primetime hours, Fox News Media said in a release. He’ll make his debut as a contributor Friday on Fox & Friends, the network’s signature morning show.

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

1. They really are the National Enquirer of TV

I remember Mike Myers' "I married an Axe Murderer" and the Scottish mother who insisted that those supermarket rags reported truth and read every one religiously. It was hilarious, except that we now have Fox News.

2. Fox News Hires Pompeo As Liar... Eh, Contributor

[DENVERPOPS]

8. Uber Professional Whores, all of them

just like everyone in the entire Trump Administration.
They all hoped they would be taken care of for life by the RepubliCONs, I am sure these two aren't the only ones being rewarded...

[joetheman]

19. He needs a job. Most former Trump adm are unemployable. nt

[True Blue American]

20. Pompeo will not last.

None of the others did. Fox has reached the bottom of the barrel.

[5X]

3. Someone in his position has to fall pretty far to land at fox. n/t

[Dakota Flint]

4. Fox News will hire any degenerate scum

If they think it will help their ratings. Boycott all advertisers on Fox.

[Lonestarblue]

5. First of all, no one with any sense respects his foreign policy views.

He has no expertise in much of anything that I’ve ever seen—except possibly his ability to bloviate almost as much s the Former Guy.

Perfect fit for Fox. Perhaps he thinks by becoming a TV personality he can follow Trump’s footsteps to the presidency.

[Vinca]

6. Didn't Pompeo spew some BS last week about going abroad to work as a missionary?? LOL.

So much for Jeeeeeeeeeeezus.

[BlueIdaho]

7. Yeah, what the hell happened to his

Higher calling? Or was he just after a higher paycheck?

[DENVERPOPS]

9. bullshit propoganda

decidedly used to attract the religious evangelical right wing audience to Fox news......

[Evolve Dammit]

14. draped in a flag and carrying the cross. Works every time. I think he was referring to "position?"

[karynnj]

17. I suspect that was an elaborate April Fools joke

I don't think it was in any of the normal media sources - and, as the former SoS, thought to be interested in running for President, it would have been.

I am actually surprised as being a commentator on Fox News is not the normal step for someone wanting to be President - though Trump may have changed everything in the norms for the Republican party. He has been very out there claiming that Biden is destroying our place in the world. In particular, he is one of the Trump people claiming that their Iran policy was "working" and - would have worked better had Obama administration people not "undermined" it.

[littlemissmartypants]

23. Yes, he did. This was my first thought, too.

He must have seen the light, hallelujah.*

*Need for a steady paycheck since the former guy has cornered the rube market and Pompous isn't really that likable anyway.

[seta1950]

10. They are not news

I don’t call the fox News but fox propaganda ( like russian propaganda machine)

[irisblue]

11. the last 2 times I heard him on BBC radio, with journalists

they beat him about the head& shoulders with facts. That giant prick was not happy.

[NCjack]

12. Couldn't get a real job.

[FSogol]

13. Wow, that will turn around their ratings collapse!

[jmowreader]

15. Fox believes they need Trump officials to recover from their ratings slide

Whether they can recover is an open question. OANN and Newsmax TV are doing very well at stealing the Deplorables from Fox, and no one else is watching any of those three stations.

[IcyPeas]

16. isn't he going to run for president in 2024?

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is the latest from Donald Trump's administration to join Fox News as the network moves to fight the ratings battle against Trump-friendly outlets Newsmax and OAN.

18. F*ck him and the horse he rode in on! nt

[monkeyman1]

21. it would have to be a Clydesdale draft horse !!

[Carlitos Brigante]

22. Should give him a show "The Barney Rubble Lyin' Hour". nt

[DonViejo]

24. Locking...

The consensus of Forum Hosts agrees, who Fox hires to be their talking heads, even an ex-SoS is not important news of national interest
