What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. The same goes for conversations between two White House press secretaries. At least that’s what Fox News host and former President George W. Bush’s press secretary Dana Perino says about President Donald Trump’s right-hand woman Karoline Leavitt.
“I always keep my advice to press secretaries private,” Perino says. “I will say this though, she’s got an exceedingly bright future, and I’m excited to be around her. She is funny, she is self-deprecating, she’s a fierce loyalist, and you probably want her on your side, I would say. But I really admire her too, as a young mom and trying to figure all of that out, because it’s an all-consuming job, and she does it quite well. She always has a smile, and I think that helps her, and it definitely helps (Trump).”
Leavitt has done her job in being a steadfast spokesperson for the president, even as she’s irked members of the press for trying to curtail their access to Trump. Reporters have said the White House will not respond to their inquiries if they include pronouns in email signatures.
Perino remarks how different the job is now compared to then. “In January 2009 when I left the White House, I didn’t have a Twitter account. I didn’t have a Facebook account. There were not all of these ways to communicate, and I do think in some ways they benefit, in some ways it’s harder.”
For advice that Perino will share, curious minds can check out her part-memoir, part self-help book “I Wish Someone Had Told Me … ” (Fox News Books, 263 pp., out April 22). It features words from Fox News personalities like Bret Baier, Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Watters and Jeanine Pirro, plus journalist Salena Zito, novelist Patti Callahan Henry and Perino’s husband, businessman Peter McMahon.
