Top Military Media Outlet Puts A 28-Year-Old Who’s Touted Her Hatred For Trump In Charge
The Army Times named a 28-year-old who has been vocal about hating President Donald Trump as its top editor Jan. 10.
Sarah Sicard previously worked as a spokeswoman for a New York councilman who describes himself as a “moderate Democrat.”
The Army Times is one of the oldest and largest papers catering to the military, which according to the publication’s own polling is overwhelmingly conservative.
The Army Times appointed as its top editor a 28-year-old feminist from Brooklyn who has repeatedly tweeted that she hates President Donald Trump and worked as a spokeswoman for a New York councilman who describes himself as a “moderate Democrat.”
After interning for several Democrats, graduating Hofstra University in 2014, and contemplating art school, Sarah Sicard wrote for a marijuana publication called the “Bluntness,” served as communications director for a New York city council member, and worked in corporate PR, according to her resume and online bios.
As of Jan. 10, she occupies the top editorial position of the Army Times, which has been published since 1940 and is one of the preeminent publications for military men and veterans.
That’s a jarring contrast with the audience that pays for subscriptions.
“Exit polling in the 2016 presidential election saw military members and veterans vote nearly two-to-one in favor of Republican candidates,” according to the Military Times, the Army Times’ parent publication.
“Does anyone else feel like Donald Trump’s endorsement of anything makes the rest of us immediate hate that thing?” Sicard tweeted in May 2019.
“Okay I hate @realDonaldTrump” she tweeted in September 2018.
“I mean, I hate Trump,” she tweeted in May 2017.
In January 2019, she tweeted she had lost followers because of “all my callouts of @POTUS.”
