CNN was rocked by the news of the tragic passing of Alice Stewart on Saturday. Stewart was one of the few conservative voices on the network.
Though she had voted for the former president, she wasn’t a die-hard Trump supporter, often described as a straight-shooter, civil, professional, and kind among her colleagues.
Stewart was a veteran of political campaigns, serving as communications director for Michele Bachman, Rick Santorum, and Mike Huckabee’s presidential campaigns. Her most recent gig on the campaign trail was for Ted Cruz’s 2016 bid. Around that time, she was hired as a commentator for CNN and co-hosted a podcast with noted liberal Maria Cardona. Ms. Cardona expressed shock at the loss of her friend, adding that they were scheduled to record a new episode on the day she died. Ms. Stewart was reportedly found unconscious outside her home in northern Virginia, where police suspect the campaign veteran suffered a “medical emergency”.
