Lucian Baxter Wintrich IV (né Einhorn; born May 24, 1988)[1] 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.[2][3][4][5][6][7] At age 28, he was one of the youngest members of the White House Press Corps, and among the first to be openly gay.[8] During this time, Wintrich attracted significant controversy for his outspoken views on politics and culture.[3][9] Many of his public appearances and art pieces have been met with protests ranging from civil disobedience to violent demonstrations.[10]

Wintrich currently serves on the board of governors for the New York Young Republican Club and is the club's press committee chairman.[11]
