CNN Hires Jeff Sessions' Spox As Political Editor

The last time I saw Sarah Isgur (formerly known as Sarah Isgur Flores) on a cable news show, I wanted to tear my hair out. Nothing has changed in the intervening years.

As Carly Fiorina's press secretary, Flores was expert at spinning stories away from the actual story and into Republican talking points. As Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III's press secretary, she defended baby cages and family separations with abandon.

And now she is about to become CNN's Political Editor, according to POLITICO.

Here is her resumé:

While it is common for departing administration officials to join cable news networks as analysts or contributors, it is less common for them to oversee news coverage. Isgur has no experience in news but a long history as a political operative, most recently with the Trump administration and the Fiorina campaign. Before that, she worked for the Republican National Committee and on Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, according to her LinkedIn profile. She began working with Sessions before his confirmation hearing, guiding him through the process and preparing with him in mock hearings.

And also, according to the same article, she will make "occasional appearances" for political commentary.
