Career

In 2013, Wheeler at age 24 partnered with 13 other young conservatives to co-author and publish Young, Conservative, & Why It's Smart to Be Like Us.[3] The book went to No. 2 on Amazon's Civics Books List.

On October 26, 2015, Wheeler was introduced as the host of the primetime talk show Tipping Point with Liz Wheeler, which aired weeknights at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT on One America News Network (OANN).[1][4]

Wheeler spoke at Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in 2016.[5] She speaks at Young America's Foundation events.[6] In 2018, Wheeler was profiled by Politico magazine as a "titan" of conservative media alongside Ben Shapiro, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Tucker Carlson, Dana Loesch, and others. In the Politico profile, Wheeler said she chose a career in political media because: "We're at a point that we're replacing God with government. So, instead of debating theology, instead of debating family, we're looking at government and looking to politics for the answers—and that's why everyone is so obsessed with it."[7]

In a 2018 segment on OANN, Wheeler falsely claimed that a proposed California bill would ban the sale of Bibles. Snopes determined that the claim was a misrepresentation; the bill actually targeted gay conversion therapy.[8]

In 2019, Regnery Publishing published Wheeler's first book, Tipping Points: How to Topple the Left's House of Cards.[9] In 2020, President Donald Trump issued a tweet encouraging his followers to "buy the book" and "give Liz great reviews."[10]

In September 2020, Wheeler announced her departure from OANN.[11]

In a January 2021 video titled "Fauci lied to you AGAIN", Wheeler made correct claims about Anthony Fauci, COVID-19, and the effectiveness of face masks

In March 2022, Wheeler offered her opinion that hepatitis B vaccination in newborns was unsafe and unnecessary unless the mother was infected with the hepatitis B virus, and that the vaccine failed to prevent infection by the time vaccinated people became sexually active.

Personal life

Wheeler is Catholic.[12] She was married in 2017 to Daniel Moyer, and her first child was born in 2021.[13][14]
