An anonymous commenter notes here that former Darrell Issa aide and erstwhile Rostrafarian Kurt Bardella has been tapped by the Daily Caller.
Huffington Post has the full story, including the following message from Neil Patel, co-founder of the Daily Caller with Tucker Carlson…
Please join Tucker and me in welcoming Kurt Bardella who will join us tomorrow as Director of Communications. Kurt has been on Capitol Hill for the last five years in press and communications roles in the House and Senate.
Kurt is going to help promote The Daily Caller, promote each of our reporters and bloggers individually and promote our work product to the Hill and to other media outlets. Kurt is also going to help on some new tech projects that we have in the pipeline.
Pat McMahon is staying put doing the great job he has been doing on the other side of promotions which has helped us hit our highest traffic numbers ever.
Kurt is the first of a few new hires we expect to announce over the coming days. More to come…
Best,
Neil
