The 40 Best Conservative Columnists of 2021
The 40 Best Conservative Columnists of 2021
The best columnists on the Right
I have been doing these “best columnist” lists since 2009, but they’ve become more difficult to do in the last couple of years because some of the best writers have moved behind subscription walls (I have subscriptions for the Daily Wire and The Dispatch, but I have a more limited capacity to read some of the other pundits that are behind walls). A number of columnists have also changed outlets because the Right has splintered, which inevitably leads to angry recriminations over who makes the list. In any case, opinions may vary. If you don’t like any of these columnists, feel free to skip over them. But if you haven’t heard of someone on this list, they might be a great new source to check out.

Can anyone explain to me how and why Ben Weingarten is left off, while the disgraced and deranged Jonah Goldberg is included? Why not just include Bill Kristol while you're at it, as they both suffer TDS to the point of irrationality and bedding down with the opposition? I wouldn't be surprised to read that Liz Cheney is best buds with Jonah- yuck.
Thanks!
