President-elect Donald Trump appoints Tammy Bruce, political analyst, author and former Fox News contributor, as spokesperson for the U.S. State Department.
Trump made his announcement in a Truth Social article Friday evening.
“It is my great honor to announce that Tammy Bruce will join our incredible nominee for Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, as spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State,” a- he writes.
Trump praised Bruce as a “highly respected political analyst who understood early on the power and importance of ‘MAGA'” and highlighted her journey from liberal activism decades ago to becoming a conservative voice of prominent in the media.
“She received her bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Southern California and, after being a liberal activist in the 1990s, witnessed the lies and frauds of the radical left and quickly became one of the loudest conservative voices on radio and television,” he wrote.
“As one of the longest-serving contributors to the news, Tammy has brought the TRUTH to the American people for more than two decades. I know she will bring the same conviction and fearless spirit to her new role as State Department spokesperson,” Trump continued.
Bruce has joined Breitbart News for several exclusive interviews over the years, including with award-winning Second Amendment columnist AWR Hawkins and Breitbart News Senior General Editors Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak.
In fact, Bruce, Mansour and Pollak discussed China’s attempts to establish “a foothold in Danish-owned Greenland” when Trump floated the idea of acquiring the landmass of Denmark. North Atlantic in 2019.
“For anyone who is really interested in the geopolitics that has happened since (Donald Trump) became president, China has tried to gain a foothold in Greenland,” Bruce said. “In fact, Greenland wanted to invest in the infrastructure of a few airports. They went to Denmark – it’s an autonomous territory of Denmark – and asked for money, and Denmark said, “No.”
“So what did the Greenlandic leaders do? They went to Beijing and said to the Chinese, “Will you spend money and help us build these airports?” and China said, ‘Oh sure, as long as we have full control over the building and management,'” Bruce added.
Denmark ultimately paid for the airports under pressure from then-Defense Secretary James Mattis, according to Bruce.
Trump made Greenland a priority from the start of his second administration. In a Dec. 22 Truth Social article, Trump said U.S. ownership of Greenland was an “absolute necessity” on the national security front.
