Fox News has dumped Lara Trump as a paid contributor… and it’s likely down to her father-in-law.
Lara is married to Donald Trump’s son, Eric.
Fox News recruited Lara in the spring of 2021. However, the network has a policy of not paying contributors who are running for office, or who have a close connection to someone actively running for office.
Donald Trump announced in mid-November that he plans to run again in 2024. Lara, 40, was among the family members who attended his announcement at Mar-a-Lago. She has not appeared on Fox News since.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Fox confirmed in a statement to Los Angeles Times that it was parting ways with Lara.
“We appreciate Lara’s valuable contributions across Fox News Media programming,” it said.
Although it indicates an amicable split, per company protocol, Ruper Murdoch, the executive chairman of Fox Corporation, also appears to have gone cold on showing support for Donald Trump’s latest Presidential bid.
Fox News has been noticeably less enthusiastic toward Trump. The Murdoch-owned New York Post and the Wall Street Journal were critical of his decision to run again. The Post relegated the story (‘Been There, Don That’) deep inside the newspaper, with a front cover reference merely saying: “Florida man makes announcement – page 26”.
Lara Trump has not made any announcement about departing Fox News. She may appear again in an unpaid capacity.
Others did have thoughts.
I think Lara Trump lost her job at Fox News because billionaire Rupert Murdoch couldn’t afford any longer to subsidize Eric’s dental plan.

Now she’ll have to spend more time with Eric. Thoughts and prayers.

Translation, everyone in the Trump family is now a liability since we decided to go with DerSantis instead.

I hate articles like this. They make us believe something is actually happening. Until these folks end up in jail, they are winning. Trump is winning every day he bullies his way on the planet. They tried to take over the presidency by force and subterfuge. When do they go to jail? When does coconspirator Lara Trump go to jail?

I hear you. Justice system goes after minor crimes more quickly, with 20 year sentences imposed. This is all WTF.

Lumpy Pillows, sometimes I disagree with you on here but I fully agree with this comment. I want to add that today it was revealed that Don the Con owed a company with strong North Korean ties–I am not making this up–$19 million, did not disclose this debt when running for president, and only paid it back after he was elected, all the while keeping this from the American people. I mean, why aren’t this horrible, corrupt man and his family in prison? How else was he compromised? What else was he hiding when he didn’t release his taxes, unlike every other president before him and the single one so far since?

Ironic?
Lara gets “The Keys of the Trump Kingdom” by marrying “The Dunce of the Trump Kingdom”.
Great Career Decision!

And yet Fox kept Carlson, Hannity and Ingraham. Of course, Lara was the easiest piece of trash to toss out.
