Ari Fleischer Joins CNN As Political Contributor
Ari Fleischer, former White House Press Secretary for President George W. Bush, has joined CNN as a political contributor, the network announced this morning.
Fleischer served as the primary spokesman on Bush’s presidential campaign and through the rough early years of Bush’s presidency, covering 2000 recount, 9/11 and the U.S.’s entry into Iraq and Afghanistan, at times with a quite heavy hand. He stepped down midterm, in 2003, saying that, “You have to have a sense of when the time is right to make your decision about to serve or to go.” In the years since, he has worked with his own consulting company, Ari Fleischer Sports Communications Inc, while making time for frequent cable news spots.
Fleischer’s addition to the team should buff-up the network’s commentary in approach of the 2012 elections. CNN senior vice president and Washington bureau chief Sam Feist said in a statement that:
Ari’s extraordinary experience in the political arena and the White House make him an invaluable contributor to the network. We are thrilled to have Ari on board and our viewers will appreciate his keen insight as we head into this election cycle.
“It’s shaping up as a red hot political year and I’m eager to lend my perspective to it,” said Fleischer. “I’m looking forward to joining CNN as a regular contributor.”
