Rick Wilson (political consultant)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rick Wilson is a national Republican political strategist and media consultant based in Florida who has produced television for governors, U.S. Senate candidates, super PACS, and corporations.[1] He became well known during the 2016 United States presidential election for his vitriolic denunciations of Donald Trump and supporters of Trump.[2] Examples include asking Ann Coulter via Twitter if Trump "pays more for anal", and on MSNBC referring to some Trump supporters as "childless single men who masturbate to anime".[3] Wilson has written in The Daily Beast, Politico, New York Daily News, The Federalist, Independent Journal Review, and Ricochet.[4]
