The New Trump-Family Megaphone
Briefly

Lara Trump defended her father-in-law's controversial comments linking diversity initiatives to a plane crash, emphasizing merit in job hiring. Critics pointed out her own rise in politics was aided by nepotism. In response, Lara acknowledged her last name's influence but cited her campaign work as merit. Meanwhile, she announced a new Fox show intended to share positive narratives about America, which some argue lacks accountability journalism, as it resembles delivering Trump-family views directly to supporters. Observers criticized the implication of her show amidst ongoing discussions about media integrity.
We should never be hiring anyone for any job other than the best person for that job, said Lara Trump, defending her father-in-law's comments.
...I say that very kindly, to all the trolls and the losers out there who somehow were, like, 'Oh, she—the irony of her statement!' No, no. No irony.
Fox News viewers getting Trump-family talking points straight from the source for one hour on Saturday night is a far cry from say, Vladimir Putin's crackdown on independent media in Russia.
This new show with Lara Trump will focus on the return of common sense to all corners of American life as the country ushers in a new era.
