Last updated

The book, which has reached the end of its natural sales cycle, will no longer be offered for purchase until such time as the author has the opportunity to source and revise the material.

On January 16, 2017, Crowley withdrew from consideration for the role of senior director of strategic communications at the National Security Council in the Trump administration. "I have decided to remain in New York to pursue other opportunities," she said in a statement. [36] The Washington Times , where she served previously as online opinion editor, said the same day that it would be investigating her work at the paper for possible incidents of additional plagiarism by her. [37]

Crowley subsequently told Fox News host Sean Hannity, "What happened to me was a despicable, straight-up, political hit job" and said that it had been "debunked." [38] Andrew Kaczynski, the CNN reporter who first reported instances of plagiarism in Crowley's book, called her claims of innocence false and "complete BS," [38] stating: "No one has yet to point out a single inaccuracy in our reporting or asked for a correction on it. Monica Crowley v. reality." [39]

Obama conspiracy theories

Crowley has on multiple occasions spread conspiracy theories that President Barack Obama is secretly a Muslim. [40] In 2010, after Obama defended the right to build the Islamic community center Park51 in Lower Manhattan near the World Trade Center, Crowley suggested he had dual loyalties to Islam and the United States, and asked, "How could he....support the enemy?" In 2013, she said that the Muslim Brotherhood had "found an ally" in Obama. [40]

In 2009, she noted that Obama used his full name, Barack Hussein Obama, during his swearing in as president (which presidents typically do[ citation needed ]), had early in his presidency ordered the closure of the Guantánamo Bay detention camp, and granted an interview to the media outlet Al Arabiya, saying this "tells you where his head is and, possibly, his sympathies. Just sayin'." [40]

In 2011, Crowley said that birther conspiracy theories about Obama raised legitimate concerns. [40]

In 2015, she shared an article which described Obama as an "Islamic community organizer" who was "conforming US policy to Islam and Sharia." [40]

Personal life

Crowley's brother-in-law was the late liberal political commentator Alan Colmes, who was married to Crowley's sister, Jocelyn Elise Crowley, a professor of public policy at Rutgers University. [41]

Then-president Barack Obama, a Democrat, nominated Merrick Garland to succeed Scalia on March 16, 2016, but the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate did not vote on the nomination.
