The Gateway Pundit is an American news website.
Own Words
Founded as a counter to the establishment media that primarily shares news and opinion from a decidedly liberal perspective, TGP we believe it is important that we are transparent about our beliefs and perspectives and how it may shape our news and opinion priorities. Our focus is to make editorial choices that address the gap in the politically liberal leanings of establishment media outlets.
Editorially, The Gateway Pundit espouses politically conservative world view that support conservative positions on most issues, including abortion, national defense, small government, second amendment rights, tax policy, individual freedom and Constitutional values.[1]
In February 2021, as part of a general purge[2] this time of conservative independent media channels, Twitter permanently suspended the account of The Gateway Pundit's creator, Jim Hoft (@gatewaypundit) for repeatedly publishing claims about election fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.[3]
