(55,435 posts)37. ex Trumper, White House Director of Strategic Communications and Assistant to the President
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alyssa_Farah
In 2010, Farah served as a media intern for Congressman Tom McClintock and began a one-year position as an associate producer on The Laura Ingraham Show. In 2014, she was named Press Secretary for Congressman Mark Meadows; she was later named as his Communications Director. She went on to work as the Communications Director for the Freedom Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives, serving under Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows.
In September 2017, she was appointed Special Assistant to the President and Press Secretary to the Vice President Mike Pence. While serving as Press Secretary to the Vice President, she travelled with Pence on numerous trips, domestic and foreign, serving as part of the official U.S. delegations to the Munich Security Conference and ASEAN Summit.
In April 2020, it was reported that Meadows, now Trump's Chief of Staff, had considered bringing Farah on as a White House Press Secretary. She joined the White House Office as the White House Director of Strategic Communications on April 7, 2020. In August 2020, The Washington Post reported that Farah played an important role in shaping the Trump administration's coronavirus response.
Farah resigned as White House communications director on December 3, 2020, effective the next day. At the time it was reported she planned to start a consulting firm "focusing on the corporate, political and defence realms" and that she had initially planned to leave before the election according to one person speaking anonymously. On January 8, 2021, a few days after the 2021 Capitol raid, Farah blamed Trump for inciting the insurrection and suggested that he should resign.
