Margaret Sullivan: CNN’s hiring of a GOP operative as political editor is even worse than it looks

A few months before the 2016 presidential election, Sarah Isgur tweeted some advice to Donald Trump: "The only 3 words that should be coming out of Donald Trump's mouth this week are: 'Clinton' 'foundation' 'emails'"

In early 2017, Isgur was summoned to meet with President Trump in the Oval Office where she needed to pledge her loyalty to be named the Department of Justice spokeswoman by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Now CNN has hired Isgur — who has no journalism experience and once slammed her new employer as the “Clinton News Network” — as a political editor.
