Monica Crowley (born September 19, 1968) is an American political commentator and lobbyist.[1] She is a Fox News contributor, where she has worked (with a few breaks) from 1996 to 2017. She is a former online opinion editor for The Washington Times and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.[2][3] In December 2016, the Donald Trump administration announced that Crowley would be appointed a deputy national security advisor for the National Security Council. However, she withdrew a month later following reports that she had plagiarized portions of her 2012 volume What the (Bleep) Just Happened?.[4]

Early life and education

Crowley was born at Fort Huachuca,[5] an Army base located outside of Sierra Vista, Arizona, and grew up in Warren Township, New Jersey. She holds a B.A. in political science from Colgate University and a Ph.D. in international relations from Columbia University (2000).[6]

Career

As a student, Crowley began writing letters to former President Richard Nixon, who hired her as a research assistant in 1990[7] when she was 22 years old.[6][8] She was an editorial adviser and consultant on Nixon's last two books, and following Nixon's death, she published two books about him.

In the mid-1990s, Crowley wrote a regular column for the New York Post.[citation needed] She has also written for The New Yorker,[9] The Washington Times,[3] The Wall Street Journal,[10] the Los Angeles Times, and the Baltimore Sun.

Radio

Crowley was a commentator for National Public Radio's Morning Edition in the mid-1990s.[11] Since 2002, she has had her own radio show, The Monica Crowley Show, which is also available as a podcast on iTunes.[12]

Television

In 1996, Crowley joined Fox News Channel, where she was a foreign affairs and political analyst and occasionally substituted for Sean Hannity on Fox News Channel's Hannity. In 2004, she joined MSNBC's Connected: Coast to Coast with co-host Ron Reagan. After a nine-month run, the last show aired on December 9, 2005. Crowley has also been a recurring guest on Imus in the Morning and has hosted the MSNBC broadcast The Best of Imus in the Morning. In 2007, she returned as a contributor to Fox News Channel. She was also a regular participant on The McLaughlin Group from late 2007 to 2011.

Crowley is an occasional panelist on Fox News Channel's late-night satire show Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld. Since 2009, she has been a guest host for Bill O'Reilly on The O'Reilly Factor and appeared opposite Alan Colmes on Tuesday's The O'Reilly Factor in a segment called "Barack and a Hard Place". She is also an occasional guest host on the daily (5:00 pm ET) Fox opinion show, The Five.

Crowley appeared in the Netflix original series of House of Cards, portraying herself.

In election-day commentary in 2016 on Fox News, speaking of Republican candidate Donald Trump's impending upset victory, Crowley said, "This is a revolt of the unprotected class against the protected elite class."[13] Following the election of President Donald Trump, it was announced in December 2016 that Crowley would join the Trump administration as a deputy national security advisor. Following this announcement, Fox News terminated her contract with the network at Crowley's request.[14]

Consulting

In March 2017, Crowley joined the firm of Douglas Schoen as a part-time consultant, providing "outreach services" on behalf of Ukrainian industrialist and political figure Victor Pinchuk. Crowley registered as a foreign agent as required by the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938.[15][16]

Personal life

Crowley grew up in central New Jersey.[6]

Crowley's brother-in-law was the late liberal political commentator Alan Colmes, who was married to Crowley's sister, Dr. Jocelyn Elise Crowley, a professor of public policy at Rutgers University.[17]
