The Endangered Zinke Is Casting About For A Life Raft, Maybe At Fox News

By Kate Riga
November 9, 2018 8:41 am
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has his irons in the fire, casting about for potential employment opportunities as it becomes increasingly likely that he’ll fall under President Donald Trump’s post-midterm axe.


According to a Thursday Politico report, Zinke has inquired into positions at Fox News, boards of directors at energy companies and private equity firms.

Zinke’s spokesperson derided the rumors as “laughably false” and belonging on the satirical website “The Onion.”

Zinke may also stay in the public sphere, as Politico reports that he has his eye on the 2020 Montana governor race, after his Cabinet appointment took him out of the running for Sen. Jon Tester’s (D-MT) Senate seat.

Though Trump has great personal affection for Zinke, his ever growing heap of ethics issues has made him into a Scott Pruitt-esque headache.

I don't think that the republicans in Montana will vote for him if he has been charged with anything criminal. Notice the part where I said "I don't think".

I am hopeful that every single department head is investigated for profiting off of their shady personal side deals and shenanigans. EPA, HUD, Education, HHS, Commerce, Transportation, Labor and everything I missed.

It is scary and very knowledgeable about how this country has certain things that no other country has, and with allies helping the planet understand that if you take out the EPA "data" or privatize the NOAA "data"................we are all sitting ducks

I was all excited about the state getting rid of that pos and then after a couple months of watching him … I realized that that was even worse.

Or didn't Zinke qualify? "I'm sorry, Mr. . . . Sinky. You're just not Golden Arches material. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors."
