Marie Harf, a deputy spokeswoman for the State Department under the Obama administration, is joining Fox News as a contributor.
Fox News announced Monday that Harf, a Democrat, “will offer national security and political analysis” and that she will begin appearing on air Monday.
Harf was often a subject of ridicule, mostly by conservatives, for comments she made at the State Department during her tenure.
In early 2015, she memorably argued that to effectively fight the Islamic State, “we need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it’s a lack of opportunity for jobs.”
