Justin Trask Haskins (born October 19, 1987) is a conservative blogger, columnist, and editor of the Chicago-based Heartland Institute.
Early life
Haskins graduated from Dover High School in Dover in southeastern New Hampshire. He first attended Providence College but transferred to the University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia, from which he graduated in 2010, with a major in paralegal studies. He earned the William Marshall Book Award for academic excellence. He graduated from Regent University in Virginia Beach with a master's degree in government in 2011 and a second master's degree in journalism in 2015. Haskins soon left the Rhode Island Republicans and was hired by The Heartland Institute, an American conservative and libertarian public policy think tank, to work as its editor.
A conservative and libertarian columnist, Haskins has published columns in various newspapers and news media outlets, such as the The New York Post, The Washington Times, the Providence Journal, U.S. News & World Report, Forbes, and FoxNews.com.
Haskins' writings also regularly appear on Breitbart.com and Human Events. He is a columnist for Townhall.com.
Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh featured an article written by Haskins on his nationally syndicated The Rush Limbaugh Show. The article was highly critical of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Haskins has also been featured by the American Conservative Union, Real Clear Politics, and the Fox News Channel.
Criticism
Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank criticized Haskins for being a "climate-change denier" in a nationally syndicated column published on April 6, 2015. Milbank, referencing an article Haskins had written for Human Events, used Haskins as an example for Milbank's claim skeptics of man-caused global warming are "in retreat."
Conservative writer James Delingpole said Milbank's claims about Haskins were taken out of context and "threadbare" in an article published on Breitbart.com. Newsmax also accused Milbank of making false claims about Haskins' article.
