Dana Perino sat on The Five this week and said something about Seattle’s mayor that stopped the entire panel cold — calling her off her rocker and contrasting the city’s ongoing struggles with crime and economic decline directly against President Trump’s swift approach to fixing problems.
She stood at the White House podium for George W. Bush. She co-anchors the most watched cable news program in America. She hit the New York Times bestseller list with a romance novel nobody saw coming. And just days after losing her father Leo — the man she credited with sparking her love of public affairs and lifelong learning — Dana Perino walked back onto that set and said exactly what she thought without missing a single beat. Some people need time to grieve before they can show up again. Dana Perino just showed the whole country what showing up actually looks like.
