Timeline
Erick Woods Erickson (born June 3, 1975) is an American conservative talk radio host, blogger, and former politician.
He hosts a three-hour weekday talk show on WSB 95.5 FM and 750 AM in Atlanta, which is syndicated to other radio stations around the U.S. He also writes a political blog called The Resurgent.
Prior to this, he was editor-in-chief and CEO of another conservative political blog called RedState.
In January 2011, Erickson began hosting a local evening radio show on WSB Radio 95.5/750, replacing Michael Savage.
Erickson was elected on November 6, 2007 to a four-year term as a Republican member of the Macon, Georgia city council.
The Daily Telegraph of London put Erickson on its "List of Most Influential US Conservatives", giving him a rank of 69th most influential in 2007 and 65th in 2010.
According to the 2007 newspaper article: "Erickson epitomises the new power of the internet. A small-government fiscal and social conservative based in the South, he taps into and influences the Republican 'base' that the GOP's 2008 candidates are courting."
According to The Atlantic, Erickson's conservatism is more traditional (as opposed to libertarian) and "deeply informed by his evangelical faith".
Erickson emphasizes small government, strong national defense, and the primacy of the traditional family.
Erickson's "Morning Briefing" e-mails grew from 498 subscribers when they began in February 2009 to nearly 70,000 by January 2010.
The Washington Post noted that "The ability of a single e-mail to shape a message illustrates the power of the conservative network."
The article described Erickson as one of the American conservative movement's "key national players".
Erickson wrote the "Confessions of a Political Junkie" blog and is former editor-in-chief of the "Peach Pundit" blog.
He was a political contributor for CNN from 2010 to 2013, and afterwards was a contributor to the Fox News Channel before leaving the network in 2018.
Erick-Woods Erickson was born in Jackson in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, moved to Dubai, United Arab Emirates when he was five, and returned to Jackson when he was fifteen.
Erickson attended the American School of Dubai, previously known as the Jumeirah American School.
His father worked for Conoco Oil as an oil company production foreman.
Erickson received a bachelor's degree from Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, and a J.D. degree from Mercer University Walter F. George School of Law.
He is an inactive member in good standing of the State Bar of Georgia.
In 2010, he co-authored a book called Red State Uprising: How to Take Back America with Lew Uhler.
Later that month, Erickson said that growing up his parents refused to serve "Asian food" on December 7, the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Erickson's mother appeared to deny the claim to a journalist.
Erickson criticized the report, citing his mother's age.
From 2010 to January 2013, Erickson was a political contributor at CNN.
He resigned his office on February 16, 2011, partway through his first term to pursue a job with WSB radio in Atlanta; The Macon Telegraph noted his poor attendance as a council member before his resignation.
Before starting his own blog called The Resurgent, Erickson was a blogger on another right-wing website called RedState.
Erickson moved to the slot vacated by Herman Cain when he announced his 2012 presidential bid.
Erickson was a contributor to FOX News from 2013 to 2018.
Erickson later alleged that Roger Ailes terminated his affiliation with the network because of his criticism of Senator Mitch McConnell.
In 2014, RedState was sold to Salem Media Group, who replaced Erickson.
In 2014 and 2015, Erickson guest-hosted the national broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show numerous times.
Rush Limbaugh died on February 17, 2021, and Erickson took over the late host’s three-hour midday time slot in the Atlanta radio market in March 2021.
Toward the end of Erickson's career at RedState, he began to increase his focus on his radio show, which is now syndicated by the Cox Media Group to other conservative talk radio stations around the U.S. He eventually quit the site to work on the radio program full-time.
In 2015, he served as its editor-in-chief and chief executive before resigning from the website later that year.
In December 2015, Erickson left his position at the site to focus on his radio show.
During a CNN interview after a Republican Party debate hosted by Fox News on August 6, 2015, Donald Trump had said that Fox News anchor and debate co-moderator Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever" while questioning him during the debate.
The next day, Erickson disinvited Trump from a RedState gathering held in Atlanta, calling Trump's remark "a bridge too far" and that even "blunt talkers and unprofessional politicians should not cross" certain lines, including decency.
The following day, Trump released a statement stating that Erickson had a history of making controversial statements for which he has had to apologize, and that he, Trump, was an outsider who did not fit into Erickson's agenda.
Erickson described Trump as "a racist" and "a fascist", and insisted, "I will not vote for Donald Trump. Ever."
In January 2016, Erickson launched the conservative website The Resurgent.
