She appeared on FOX because she worked for the Daily Wire.

Yeah, her right wing credentials were pretty clear back then. She was a Tucker Carlson protogee.

She has diverged from that somewhat, though, since her many dust ups with Trump over asking forceful questions at press briefings back in 2018.  https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/10/trump-cnn-kaitlan-collins-00095114

She offered Trump some softball questions at the Town Hall, and allowed him to say that Dems accepted the killing of babies AFTER they were born without challenge. But she pushed back hard on his claim that he had "completed" the wall, and asked him at least three times if he would 
support a national abortion ban, making clear he would not answer that question. She let him get away with way too much though, including
his calling her a "nasty person" for challenging his lies--to the cheers of the crowd. 

So she's lost her MAGA credentials, but seems safely right of center, when she can be. That may be changing though, as CNN works to find
a new identity.
