Former Rep. Allen West, a Republican from Florida who was ousted in his 2012 reelection campaign, has landed a gig at Fox News as a contributor.
In a statement obtained by the Washington Post, Fox News Vice President Bill Shine said that “Representative West’s congressional and military experience along with his fearless approach to voicing key issues will provide a valuable point of view to the FOX News lineup.”
Since losing his race, West has been hosting an online show on Pajamas Media on which he’s described NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg as a “gnome,” called MSNBC host Touré a “coward,” and mocked Fox News’ own Brit Hume for wearing a salmon-colored shirt.
