Matthew Joseph Continetti (born June 24, 1981) is an American journalist and Director of Domestic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute.[1]
Life and career
[edit]Continetti was born in Alexandria, Virginia.[2] He is the son of Cathy (née Finn) and Joseph F. Continetti.[3] Continetti graduated from Columbia University in 2003.[4] While in college he wrote for the Columbia Spectator, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute's magazine, CAMPUS, and the Columbia Political Review.[4][5] In the summer of 2002, he did a Collegiate Network internship at National Review, where he worked as a research assistant for Rich Lowry.[4][6] He joined The Weekly Standard as an editorial assistant, and later became associate editor.[4] He is now a contributing editor to National Review.[7]
His articles and reviews have also appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, National Review, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Financial Times.[8] He has also been an on-camera contributor to Bloggingheads.tv[9] and has criticized Glenn Beck as "nonsense."[10] He has argued the American media turned on Sarah Palin during the 2008 campaign because they had blind allegiance to Barack Obama.[11] He has criticized American academia as uniformly left-wing.[12]
From October 2015 to May 2016, the Washington Free Beacon, under Continetti's stewardship, hired Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research on "multiple candidates" during the 2016 presidential election, including Donald Trump. The Free Beacon stopped funding his research when Trump was selected as the Republican Party nominee.[13]
Personal life
[edit]Continetti lives in Arlington, Virginia.[8] He is married to Anne Elizabeth Kristol, the daughter of William Kristol, Vice President Dan Quayle's Chief of Staff.[3] Continetti converted to Judaism in 2011, prior to his marriage to Kristol.[7] In May 2023, the Russian Foreign Ministry sanctioned Continetti and barred him from entry, along with 500 other Americans.[14]
