Charles McRay Blow (born August 11, 1970) is an American journalist, commentator, and current visual op-ed columnist for The New York Times.

Life and career

Blow was born and raised in Gibsland, Louisiana.[1][2] He graduated magna cum laude from Grambling State University, with a bachelor's degree in mass communication.[3] He has worked as a graphics director and art director for The New York Times and National Geographic.

In April 2008, he began writing a column in The New York Times, featuring charts as a form of liberal opinion journalism. His column originally appeared biweekly on Saturdays. In May 2009, it became a weekly feature and twice weekly in December 2012. As of May 2014, it appears every Monday and Thursday.[3]

Blow often appears on CNN and MSNBC.

On February 22, 2012, Blow referred to presidential candidate Mitt Romney's "magic underwear", an apparent reference to the Temple Garment, in response to a comment by Romney about two parent households.[4][5] The comment was criticized as insensitive to Mormons. In response, Romney joked that "I guess we’re finding out for the first time that the media is somewhat biased."[5] Blow later apologized.[5][6]

In 2014, he published a memoir entitled Fire Shut Up in My Bones.

In August 2016, while appearing on CNN with Donald Trump presidential campaign delegate Bruce Levell, Blow called pro-LGBTQ Trump [7][8][9][10][11][12] a "bigot" and said that anyone who supported Trump is "a part of the bigotry itself."[13][14]

Personal

Blow lives in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, New York, with his three children.[15][3] His eldest son attends Yale University[16] and his twins attend Middlebury College and Columbia University. In 2014, Blow came out publicly as bisexual.[17][18]
