Social Media Reacts To Lara Trump's New Job At Fox News

LOADINGERROR LOADING

Lara Trump has a new job at Fox News, and, not surprisingly, people on social media have thoughts.

President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, a former Republican National Committee co-chair, announced Wednesday that she will be hosting a weekend show on the conservative news channel starting Feb. 22.

A news release describes the show, “My View With Lara Trump,” as “the return of common sense to all corners of American life.”

Although Lara Trump has served as a Fox News contributor and was once a producer at “Inside Edition,” many posting on social media were concerned that a major news outlet is setting a bad precedent by having a president’s relative as host of a show.

For instance, social media commentator Brian Krassenstein noted that President Trump’s MAGA followers would have been outraged “if MSNBC were to pay Hunter Biden for a primetime show during Biden’s presidency.”

Others were also disturbed by the announcement.

People will laugh, but hosting a weekend show on Fox is a well known stepping stone to running the Defense Department. https://t.co/MhBOxcfeiw

Lara Trump literally working for Fox News is emblematic of the more serious issue with media coverage of Trump, just as GOP fealty to Trump is the more serious issue in why Congress isn’t holding him to account.
