Anita Dunn Out, Dan Pfeiffer in as White House Communications Chief
Nov10White House interim Communications Chief Anita Dunn will step down from the position at the end of this month and will be replaced by her current deputy Dan Pfeiffer.
Fox News reporting:
Dunn’s departure had been expected as she took the position on an interim basis earlier in the year. But her exit comes at a critical time for the White House, with the administration trying to push the Senate to follow the House of Representatives’ lead in passing health care reform.
Dunn, who has been a vocal critic of Fox News and last month accused the network of being a “wing of the Republican Party,” will remain as an outside consultant to the White House and continue to be involved in strategy.
Pfeiffer had long been the most likely candidate to replace her. His office is next to that of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and he participates in all communications strategy sessions.
Before joining the White House, Pfeiffer worked on Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and also for several Democratic senators, including Indiana’s Evan Bayh.
Anita Dunn, who is married to President Obama’s personal attorney – Robert Bauer, has drawn criticism for her remarks about Fox News being an arm of the Republican Party and her quoting of Mao Tse-tung as one of her “favorite political philosophers”.
