BREAKING : Monica Crowley Named Deputy National Security Advisor. Another STRONG WOMAN!

Donald Trump has shown his commitment to women by filling his team with strong and capable female candidates.

He has just added a new name to that list, Fox News contributor, Monica Crowley.

She’s just been named Deputy National Security Advisor.

From Daily Beast:

Monica Crowley, a conservative radio host and Fox News analyst, is expected to be tapped by the Trump administration to be a deputy national security advisor, two sources familiar with the pick said.

The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the choice. Crowley did not immediately return a request for comment.

Crowley, a self-described “happy warrior,” a loyal Trump supporter and advocate, had also been floated as a possible pick for White House press secretary.

In response to the speculation, Crowley told The New York Post, “It would be an honor to serve in the new administration.”

Her career in foreign policy began as a foreign policy assistant to former President Richard Nixon, according to her Fox News bio. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and holds a Ph.D. in international affairs from Columbia University.

The sources said it wasn’t yet clear if her title would mirror that of Ben Rhodes, who currently serves as the U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications. Rhodes was one of Obama’s the most influential staff members and had a critical hand in shaping the administration’s global security policies and then selling those policies to the world.

Crowley has been a vocal critic of the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy positions, particularly their avoidance of the term “radical Islamic terrorism.”

She has also made particularly incendiary comments about Muslims—including Hillary Clinton’s top aide Huma Abedin.

In an August appearance on Hannity in August 2016, Crowley said her Abedin parents were “essentially tools of the Saudi regime” in an effort for Muslims to take over the West.

In November 2015, she wrote in The Washington Times only a fraction of the refugees pouring into Europe from Syria were fleeing “war and persecution.” Most, she wrote, were from “Middle East, North Africa and countries like Pakistan and Indonesia who are using the European Union’s open doors-open borders policy to reach the West for social welfare and the longer-term goal of spreading Islam.”

She would serve under National Security Advisor, retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, and with fellow former Fox News analyst KT McFarland who was named as a part of Trump’s national security team last month.
