Charles McRay Blow (born August 11, 1970) is an American liberal 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. His column had originally appeared biweekly on Saturdays. In May 2009, it became a weekly feature and appeared 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, Blow published the book-length memoir entitled Fire Shut Up In My Bones.[7]

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

In February 2017, Blow had a heated exchange with political commentator Kayleigh McEnany on CNN's show, CNN Tonight with Don Lemon.[10][11][12]

Personal

Blow lives in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, New York, with his three children.[13][3] His eldest son attends Yale University[14] and his twins attend Middlebury College and Columbia University. In 2014, Blow came out publicly as bisexual.[15][16]
