Over the years, The Gateway Pundit has become infamous for its publishing of hyper-partisan blog posts, many of which advance dangerous lies and conspiracy theories. Hoft, a supporter of former President Donald Trump and MAGA loyalist, has used the website to promote the former president, while disparaging his opponents.The Gateway Pundit made $3.1 million in gross revenue last year and $2.8 million in 2022 and its “only employee” is publisher Jim Hoft.
