Tony Blankley

Anthony “Tony” Blankley (born 1948 in London, United Kingdom) is an Executive Vice President with Edelman public relations in Washington, a Visiting Senior Fellow in National-Security Communications at the Heritage Foundation, co-host of the nationally syndicated public radio program "Left, Right & Center", and author of "" Additionally, Blankley is a regular “talking head” for various television shows including "The Diane Rehm Show". Previously, Blankley was the editorial page editor for "The Washington Times" and a contributing editor and monthly columnist for "George Magazine". He was a regular panelist on "The McLaughlin Group" for several years. He still writes a weekly column for "The Washington Times".

Blankley’s stated political opinions are generally traditionally conservative, although he has been labeled as a neo-conservative by some. He denies this label, claiming that his views are more comparable to a classic conservative such as former U.S. President Ronald Reagan.

Blankley’s political career spans several decades, where his most prominent position was a seven year stint as House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s press secretary. Prior to his career on Capitol Hill, Blankley served President Reagan as a policy analyst and speechwriter, and was a staff writer for Congresswoman Bobbi Fiedler. Before coming to Washington, Blankley spent 10 years as a prosecutor with the California Attorney General’s office.

He was also a child actor appearing as Rod Steiger’s child in "The Harder They Fall" (1955). He attended UCLA and Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. He was admitted to the California Bar in 1972, but has since ceased to be a member as he does not engage in legal practice to the requisite extent.

In some of his written works, he has compared modern Islamists to Nazis, saying that they are attempting to take over Europe. He also argues that racial and ethnic profiling are regrettable but acceptable government practices in times of war.
