Patrick Howley (born 1989) is an American reporter.[1] He is the former editor-in-chief of Big League Politics.[2]
Howley has been a reporter for Breitbart News in Washington, D.C.,[3][4] The Washington Free Beacon, and The Daily Caller.[3] He previously was an assistant editor for The American Spectator.[5] He has written for National File and far-right newspaper The Epoch Times.[2]
In January 2017, Howley left Breitbart to start the far-right website Big League Politics.[4] He has been criticized for his style of journalism and satire.[6][7][8][9]
In 2019, Howley broke the story of a blackface and KKK costume photograph in Virginia governor Ralph Northam's medical school yearbook after receiving a tip from a "concerned citizen".[10] Howley's website also broke the news of sexual assault allegations against Virginia lieutenant governor Justin Fairfax.[11][12]
