To begin with, the boy was raised in Northampton, but there is no information about his early childhood. He is known to be a graduate from Franklin and Marshall College based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Concerning his professional career, initially Lord worked as a press officer in the Pennsylvania State Senate, then for the Congressman Bud Shuster as well as press secretary for US Senator H. John Heinz III. Later, he worked for Drew Lewis, as he supported the presidential candidacy of Reagan. Between 1987 and 1988, he worked for the Reagan administration, and some time later for Jack Kemp during the presidency of George W. Bush. Later, Lord worked as a commentator on the CNN network. He contributed to press publishings of among others The Weekly Standard, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times and The Harrisburg Patriot News. Later, he wrote “The Borking Rebellion” which was released in 2005, which received positive reviews by critics. In 2016, he released his second book entitled “What America Needs: The Case for Trump”.
However, Jeffrey Lord is a pretty controversial political commentator. In the middle of 2010, Lord attacked African American Shirley Sherrod in an article in the American Spectator – prior to this, Sherrod had testified that one of her ancestors had been lynched, when in fact he had been beaten to death by police. In this case Lord was prone to intense criticism, including from other journalists of the American Spectator. In May 2012, he compared President Barack Obama to the Chinese dictator Mao Zedong, contending in an argument that both Obama and Mao had used the same slogan. In the same article he compared Obama with the Hitler. In 2015, Lord urged Democrats to apologize for the slavery and racist Jim Crow system as well as the assassination of Native American Indians. In 2016, Lord claimed that the KKK was left-wing and that those who demanded Trump’s dissociation from the KKK would split the nation. CNN broke-off the relationship with Lord in the summer of 2017, after coming up with a “Victory Hail!” to Angelo Carusone the President of Media Matters for America.
To conclude, all the above mentioned engagements have nevertheless increased the net worth of Jeffrey Lord.
Finally, in the personal life of the political commentator, Lord does not reveal much about his private life, but apparently he has never been married.
