McEnany said she was "excited to be joining the RNC at such an important and historic time in our country."


"I`m eager to talk about Republican ideas and values and have important discussions about issues affecting Americans across this country," she said.


Over the weekend, McEnany appeared in a 90-second video on Trump`s Facebook page touting his accomplishments.


The promotional video, filmed at Trump Tower in New York, was billed as the "real news."
