Ainsley Earhardt height - How tall is Ainsley Earhardt?

In May 2019, after The New York Times documented Trump's "deep financial distress" between 1985 and 1994, which included losing more money than almost any other American taxpayer, Earhardt praised Trump, saying “it's pretty impressive, all the things that he's done in his life. It's beyond what most of us could ever achieve." Earhardt criticized "the liberal media", saying that Republicans will not run for office anymore "because they know the liberal media is going to take them down." In October 2018, after The New York Times documented how Trump obtained nearly half a billion dollars from his father through "dubious tax schemes" and possible tax fraud, Earhardt accused the Times of "bashing" Trump's father.

Earhardt has stated that she is a fair journalist who wants "to ask tough questions" and "does not want to come across as being in the tank for" the Trump administration. During her tenure on the show Fox & Friends, Trump tweeted about the show more than 100 times in the first eight months of his presidency. Earhardt has interviewed both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. During a 2018 interview, she praised Trump for threatening former FBI Director James Comey with alleged audio recordings, stating it "was a smart way to make sure he stayed honest" in congressional hearings. Shortly prior to the interview, Trump had withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement; Earhardt asked him about this, "Why did President Obama — why did his administration think this agreement was okay for America?" In a later interview with Mike Pence, she described the Paris Climate Agreement as "unfair" to the United States.

In August 2018, Earhardt stated incorrectly on Fox & Friends that the U.S. defeat of "communist Japan" was an event that had made "America great". When the U.S. defeated Japan in World War II, Japan was actually an imperial regime and an Axis nation. Another host tried to mask her blunder, but it soon went viral.

Earhardt defended Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey, saying "he gets to decide who works for him. Someone who works for him who is not supportive of him, he gets rid of them." Amid the Trump administration's negotiations with Kim Jong-Un, Fox & Friends ran North Korean images of Kim Jong-Un touring industry in his country; Earhardt described the images as "very romantic". In 2017, she falsely claimed that "5.7 million... illegal immigrants might have voted" in the 2008 election.

Earhardt moved to New York City and began working at Fox News Channel in 2007. Earhardt has stated that she "did not know the first thing about politics" before she was hired by Roger Ailes to work at the network. She has appeared on Hannity with her own segment called "Ainsley Across America". Since joining the network, she has also co-hosted Fox and Friends Weekend, Fox's All-American New Year's Eve, America's News Headquarters, been a panelist on The Live Desk and appeared on Greg Gutfeld's Red Eye. She became a co-host of Fox & Friends in 2016.

In 2005, Earhardt moved to San Antonio, Texas, and anchored weekday newscasts of KENS Eyewitness News This Morning and Eyewitness News at Noon. While living in Texas, she completed the Austin, Texas half-marathon, went skydiving with the U.S. Army's Golden Knights and, at the Air Force Academy, flew in an F-16 with the United States Air Force Thunderbirds.

Earhardt's first marriage to Kevin McKinney in April 2005 ended in divorce in 2009. In October 2012, Earhardt married former Clemson University quarterback Will Proctor. They have one child. After six years of marriage, Proctor filed for divorce in October 2018 after Earhardt announced their separation amid allegations that he had been unfaithful.

Earhardt was hired as a reporter for WLTX, the local CBS station in Columbia, South Carolina, before she graduated from USC. From 2000 to 2004 she worked as the morning and noon anchor. She traveled to New York City after the September 11 attacks to cover South Carolina middle school students' raising nearly half a million dollars for firefighters to buy a new fire truck to replace one lost at the World Trade Center site.

Born in Spartanburg, South Carolina, as a young child Earhardt moved with her family to the Foxcroft area of Charlotte, North Carolina. She attended Sharon Elementary School. Earhardt's family moved to the Columbia, South Carolina, area when she was still in elementary school. Earhardt graduated from Spring Valley High School in 1995.
