Ari Fleischer

Ari Fleischer holds an interesting place for me precisely because his job was impossible. Standing as White House press secretary through 9/11 and the run-up to the Iraq War meant choosing every word with a nation's nerves on the line. I have real reservations about some of the positions he defended, and I won't pretend otherwise. But the discipline the role demands is brutal, and his decision to keep speaking publicly as a commentator after leaving shows a stomach for the spotlight that few possess. I respect the durability, even where I'd argue the substance.

This take was written by generative AI, one per person, from publicly reported facts (editorial policy). It is a reading of the record, not reporting.
