Allen West Joins Fox News

Fox hires former congressman Allen West for his "valuable point of view."

Former Florida congressman Allen West is now part of the Fox News team. Since losing his bid for re-election last year, West has been hosting a show for the conservative website Pajamas Media.

“Rep. 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,” Fox News vice president Bill Shine said in a statement to the Washington Post.

West is the third ex-lawmaker to join the network. Former Sen. Scott Brown (R-Massachusetts ) and Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) also are contributors.
