Former Fox News host Eric Bolling is joining conservative network Newsmax as a host.
According to The Hill:
“Eric Bolling is a consummate media professional who isn’t afraid to ask tough questions, get provocative answers and challenge establishment thinking,” Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax said. “His background in business and politics separates him from the competition.”
Bolling will begin as a guest host for Newsmax on various shows on Monday, and is slated to host a new show in July with details to be announced soon, the network said.
“Like myself, Newsmax is concerned with the direction that Big Tech and Big Corporate Media have taken journalism and our nation,” Bolling said as part of the announcement of his hiring. “I’m excited to join an organization that delivers programming you can trust.”
Bolling, who is from South Carolina, briefly flirted with a primary challenge to occasional Trump critic Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) later saying he had decided against running.
Bolling left Fox News in 2017 amid sexual harassment allegations which he has repeatedly denied.
