John James Stephen "J.J." McCullough [1] (born July 17, 1984) is a Canadian YouTuber, conservative columnist and writer for The Washington Post and National Review. [2] [3] [4] [5] Described by VICE as an, "aspiring right-wing iconoclast" [6] and by the National Post an "unclassifiable journalist," [7] he is known for his political and social commentary videos. [8] [9] [10]
McCullough grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia. He is openly gay, and frequently identifies as a middle-class conservative. [11] McCullough graduated from Simon Fraser University where he had been opinion editor for campus paper The Peak and a staff cartoonist at Douglas College student newspaper The Other Press. [12] [13] While attending SFU, McCullough, acting as CEO for the Independent Electoral Commission appointed by the Simon Fraser Student Society, oversaw a successful 2008 referendum whereby 67% of SFU students voted to leave the Canadian Federation of Students. [14] [15] The CFS contested the referendum’s legitimacy, but ultimately settled out of court and Simon Fraser University’s student union officially left in 2012. [16] After finishing school, he was editorial cartoonist for the Western Standard and the Tri-City News.
McCullough began commentating professionally at Sun News Network, until its abrupt closure in 2015. [8] He also provided on-air political commentary for CTV. After Sun News closed, McCullough purchased a camcorder from Best Buy and began recording videos in his home.
McCullough has over 932,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, producing videos on a range of subjects, including both Canadian and global politics, as well as history and culture. [17] During a visit to UBC, McCullough asked commentator Ben Shapiro about Native American reservations. [18]
In January 2023, McCullough was criticized as a " bootlicker" for his interview with Conservative party leader Pierre Poilievre. [19]
McCullough has long been an advocate for the abolition of Canada's constitutional monarchy, and was formerly a spokesperson for Citizens for a Canadian Republic. [20] McCullough is a critic of official bilingualism, and as well as of the Canadian political system. [6] [21]
In February 2017, the Quebec Legislature voted to condemn an opinion piece written by McCullough in The Washington Post, which they say insulted the province. [22] McCullough later described the motion as, "preposterous and absurd". [23]
In June 2022, McCullough testified before Canada's Heritage Committee in opposition of Bill C-11. [24] After the bill was enacted, McCullough criticised the decision. [3] [2]
