Sarah Isgur, a former Trump administration spokesperson and longtime Republican operative with no journalism experience, has joined CNN as a political editor.
Isgur once referred to CNN as the “Clinton News Network” on Twitter.
She’s worked for a variety of right-wing organizations and campaigns, including Carly Fiorina’s and Mitt Romney’s presidential bids, the Republican National Committee, and a Ted Cruz US Senate campaign. Most recently, she worked as a Department of Justice spokesperson for former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a job which reportedly required her to take a loyalty oath to the president she will soon be tasked with covering.
In her tweets, she repeated conservative talking points and false claims (including that Donald Trump didn’t question Barack Obama’s place of birth) and conspiracy theories (about Planned Parenthood and the Clintons, in particular).
