There is nothing more on her resume to suggest why she has such a commanding position. Having invented the notion of "alternative facts" has thrust her into the limelight as well her strong allegiance to Trump.

Since betraying the truth on many occasions, she must be designated as a political hack. "Political hack" is a negative term ascribed to a person who is part of the political party apparatus, but whose intentions are more aligned with victory than personal conviction. The term "hired gun" is often used in tandem to describe the moral bankruptcy of the "hack further."
