James Kirchick
James Kirchick (/ˈkɜːrtʃɪk/; born 1983) is an American reporter, foreign correspondent, author, and columnist. He has been described as a conservative or neoconservative.
Born in Boston, Kirchick was raised in a Jewish family and attended Yale University, where he wrote for its student newspaper, the Yale Daily News.
For over three years, Kirchick worked at The New Republic, covering domestic politics, intelligence, and American foreign policy. Later, he was writer-at-large for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty based in Prague.
Kirchick has worked as a reporter for The New York Sun, the New York Daily News, and The Hill, and has been a columnist for the New York Daily News and the Washington Examiner. He has received the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association Excellence in Student Journalism Award and the Journalist of the Year Award. Kirchick was previously a fellow for the think tank Foreign Policy Initiative. As the Foreign Policy Initiative was shutting down in 2017, Kirchick announced that he would be moving to the Brookings Institution in Washington. His role at Brookings was as a visiting fellow.
In 2008, Kirchick wrote about newsletters that contained homophobic, conspiratorial and racist material, published under the name of Texas Congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. The story again became prominent in the 2012 presidential election.
It was later claimed by television station WXIX that Ron Paul was not the author of the newsletter segments which contained the material in question. In their second newscast on the scandal in January 2012, based on information provided by Lew Rockwell, who had also worked on the newsletter, WXIX's Reality Check claimed that the offending articles may have been written by one of the freelance writers who were said to have been employed at the time.
Erik Wemple for The Washington Post wrote an article that included Kirchick's response to WXIX's second newscast, where Kirchick implied that the writer of the WXIX article, Ben Swann, was incorrect in his naming of the supposed writer of the "Special Edition on Racial Terrorism".
Ron Paul did not initially deny authorship of the offending material, though he had begun denying it by 2001. He has accepted responsibility for the content regardless of its author, as it was published under his name.
