About Lucian Wintrich

Lucian Baxter Wintrich IV (né Einhorn; born May 24, 1988) is an American artist, photographer, writer, and media personality. He received widespread attention in 2017 as the White House correspondent for the conservative news and opinion site The Gateway Pundit. At age 28, he was one of the youngest members of the White House Press Corps, and among the first to be openly gay. During this time, Wintrich attracted significant controversy for his outspoken views on politics and culture. Many of his public appearances and art pieces have been met with protests ranging from civil disobedience to violent demonstrations. Wintrich served on the board of governors for the New York Young Republican Club and was the club's press committee chairman. == Early life == Wintrich was born Lucian Baxter Einhorn on 24 May 1988 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Squirrel Hill, a residential neighborhood in the East End of the city. He is the eldest son; his mother is an experimental filmmaker and painter, and his father owned a multimedia design and advertising firm. As a child, he was a member of the Pittsburgh Scholastic Chess League. In the fall of 2005, while still in high school, Wintrich created the podcast "Acorns & Merlot," characterized by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette as "sometimes irreverent or crude [but] often hilarious." Wintrich described his experience growing up, saying, "I wasn't necessarily popular because I was always considered a somewhat subversive of a person to know, I was always running different media projects".
