Dana Loesch (/ˈdeɪnə ˈlæʃ/ DAY-nə LASH, née Eaton, born September 28, 1978) is an American conservative political commentator. She is a talk radio host, a television host for The Blaze, an author, and a spokesperson for the National Rifle Association. Loesch has appeared as a guest on television networks such as Fox News, CNN, CBS, ABC, and HBO.
Loesch was raised by her mother, Gale, in an extended family of Southern Baptists. She graduated from Fox High School in Arnold, Missouri. She later attended St. Louis Community College at Meramec before transferring to Webster University to study journalism on scholarship. Following a pregnancy, Loesch dropped out of college and married, having her first child when she was 21. She grew up as a Democrat, a point of contention early in her marriage to Chris, a staunch Republican. However, the September 11 attacks led her to become a conservative Republican. Loesch and her husband homeschooled two children together.
