Is Briahna Joy Gray left or right?
Gray sits on the anti-establishment populist left — a Bernie Sanders 2020 national press secretary who is as sharply critical of the Democratic Party leadership as of Republicans. She co-hosted The Hill's Rising from September 2022 until June 2024, when the outlet fired her after a widely criticized interview with the sister of an Israeli hostage held by Hamas; Gray contends the firing was retaliation for her criticism of Israel. She now operates independently through her Bad Faith podcast, which remains active as of July 2026 and features guests from the socialist and pro-Palestinian left such as Norman Finkelstein and Ali Abunimah. Her core positions — Medicare for All-style economic populism, opposition to US support for Israel's war in Gaza, and hostility to Democratic establishment politics — place her firmly on the left flank, outside party-aligned media.
