Hemingway’s columns have been published in USA Today, The Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, CNN, and RealClearPolitics. Early in the 2016 presidential campaign, she described then-candidate Donald Trump as “a demagogue with no real solutions for anything at all.” However, since then, she has been described as pro-Trump, with Politico describing her as “a reliably pro-Trump commentator”, while Salon called her The Federalist’s “most reliable Trump defender”.
The New York Times wrote in 2020 that Hemingway’s columns “have earned presidential retweets and affirmation for their scathing criticism of Democrats and the news media, whom she accuses of lying about just about everything when it comes to the president.” In May 2017, Hemingway defended Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey. In July 2017, after Comey testified to Congress, Hemingway questioned Comey’s character, saying “this is not a choir boy here. [Comey] could teach masterclasses in how to cover your own behind and engage in typical Washington, DC shenanigans.”
In February 2018, Mollie Hemingway argued that Carter Page, a former Trump campaign advisor who had been subjected to intelligence surveillance since 2014, had his civil liberties violated. Hemingway stated, “if the civil rights and civil liberties of Carter Page can be violated, they can be violated for anyone.” Page, who had relationships with numerous Russian citizens and held pro-Putin views, had been the subject of attempted recruitment by Russian intelligence since 2013.
In April 2019, the Mueller Report revealed that investigators found no direct evidence that Page coordinated Trump campaign activities with the Russian government. In May 2018, Trump tweeted a quote attributed to Hemingway which gave credence to a conspiracy theory initiated by Trump in May 2018 that the Obama administration had placed a spy in his 2016 presidential campaign for political purposes, and stated that the surveillance was “unprecedented and scandalous.”
Vox countered statements such as Hemingway’s, stating that while an FBI informant did meet with several Trump campaign advisers, the FBI didn’t actually intend to spy on Trump, but was instead “most likely part of a legitimate counterintelligence operation targeted at Russia’s election interference campaign…”
In November 2018, Hemingway described Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election as “a very Stalinist-type approach to criminal justice.” In November 2019, Hemingway named the alleged whistleblower who exposed the Trump-Ukraine scandal. The Daily Beast wrote that naming the whistleblower “seemingly breaks the network’s policy of identifying the person.”
In June 2020, Mollie Hemingway accused the media of fabricating reports that law enforcement used tear gas and excessive force against peaceful protestors to clear a path for Trump to stage a photo op in front of St. John’s Church. Law enforcement later acknowledged that it did in fact shoot pepper-based irritants into the crowd.
Following the 2021 United States Capitol attack, Hemingway pushed the disproven claim that the attack was unarmed, claiming a “lack of actual arms that were used” despite evidence that offenders carried handguns as well as other weapons including knives and bear spray. She has also disputed its status as an insurrection, tweeting that “people who call the few-hour riot at the Capitol by unarmed protesters an ‘insurrection’ are bad people who are harming the country.”
In 2016, New York Times writer Ana Marie Cox characterized Hemingway as “no fan of Donald Trump”, despite writing for the conservative publication The Federalist. Cox characterized Hemingway as surprisingly open on issues of marriage and sexuality for a conservative Christian, saying she “sounds a little bit like a feminist in talking about sex…” Charlotte Hays of the Independent Women’s Forum described her as “a lightning rod in the debates about feminism and religious liberty” and, “a big deal in conservative-leaning intellectual circles of the nation’s capital.”

Jonathan Chait of New York Magazine has said that Hemingway‘s work is becoming increasingly reactionary during the Trump era, adding that she has joined a cadre of conservatives whose “increasingly right-wing character has been mixed with a conviction that Democratic elections are inherently fraudulent, and that extra-legal processes can be justified as countermeasures”.

Mollie Hemingway is married to Mark Hemingway, they had their wedding in the United States. Her husband is a Senior Writer for The Weekly Standard and has written for The Wall Street Journal, MTV.com, Reason and numerous other publications.
