Tammy Bruce appointed as U.S. State Department spokesperson

Donald Trump has appointed Tammy Bruce as the new spokesperson for the U.S. State Department. Bruce, a Fox News contributor and former liberal activist, is known for her conservative views and critiques of left-wing ideology. Born in Northridge, California, Bruce was a feminist activist and led the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women. She later shifted to conservative politics and authored the book "Fear Itself: Exposing the Left’s Mind-Killing Agenda." Bruce's early life included a tragic relationship with actress Brenda Benet, who died by suicide in 1982 after struggling with grief. This experience significantly influenced Bruce's perspectives on relationships and mental health.
