Well well well. Sounds like there’s going to be a shakeup after all on Trump’s communications team:
MERCURY NEWS – Kimberly Guilfoyle, the former first lady of San Francisco and current Fox News host, is in conversations with the Trump administration about becoming White House press secretary, she said in an exclusive interview with the Bay Area News Group Monday night.
Guilfoyle said the idea of her taking the job or another press role in the White House has been “raised by a number of people” in the Trump administration, although she declined to go into specifics.
“I’m a patriot, and it would be an honor to serve the country,” Guilfoyle said. “I think it’d be a fascinating job, it’s a challenging job, and you need someone really determined and focused, a great communicator in there with deep knowledge to be able to handle that position.”
She was originally considered for press secretary during the presidential transition, but the job went to Sean Spicer, the former spokesman for the Republican National Committee.
Now, with rumors boiling in Washington, D.C., about a broad shakeup to Trump’s press team following a drumbeat of controversies, Guilfoyle’s name has resurfaced. The New York Times reported on Friday that Trump had suggested Guilfoyle for the press secretary job in conversations with political allies.
Guilfoyle said she couldn’t speculate about what she would do differently if she became press secretary, but she emphasized the importance of “being on message, being very well prepared… making sure that everybody’s on the same page.”
“Sean Spicer is a very nice man and a patriot; he’s dedicated himself to this public service,” she said. “Very tough position he’s in — I wish him the best, and I know he puts a lot of effort into it.”
Of course this doesn’t mean she’s going to get the job, but it does give credence to all the shakeup rumors we’ve been hearing.
I guess Sean Spicer is too spicy to be press secretary – well either that or he’s been identified as a leaker and he’s on his way out.
Note that Guilfoyle wishes him the best. LOL!
