Is Ashley St. Clair left or right?
St. Clair spent years as a pro-Trump influencer and commentator — a Babylon Bee writer, Turning Point USA brand ambassador, author of a children's book opposing transgender acceptance, and a 2024 Trump endorser — but as of 2026 she has renounced that role. In January 2026 she publicly apologized for her anti-trans activism, saying she felt "immense guilt" for her role, a shift entangled with her custody battle with Elon Musk, the father of her son born in 2024. She now identifies her politics as "dark woke" rather than conservative. By May 2026 she had become one of the most visible critics of the MAGA influencer machine itself, alleging in interviews (including with Zeteo's Mehdi Hasan) that pro-Trump influencers receive coordinated messaging and payments, and claiming she turned down large sums to stay quiet. Her current positioning is best described as unaligned and anti-MAGA rather than left or right.
