Biography
Allie Beth Stuckey (née Simmons; born February 18, 1992) is an American podcast host, speaker, author, and conservative Christian commentator whose podcast Relatable is owned and distributed by Blaze TV. She has been a regular guest on Fox News. In November 2019, Stuckey testified before Congress in support of the Trump administration's pro-life efforts.
Career
After graduating from college in 2014 with a degree in Communications Studies, Stuckey worked as a publicist and social media strategist in Athens, Georgia. While working as a publicist in Georgia, she began speaking to college students about the importance of voting and, in 2016, started a blog on a Facebook page called The Conservative Millennial. In 2017, she joined TheBlaze as a contributor and began appearing as a guest on Fox News and Fox Business News while continuing to speak on college campuses, to Republican organizations, and to businesses about the importance of engaging young people. In late 2017, she left The Blaze and to start a podcast distributed by Conservative Review TV (CRTV).
Stuckey launched her podcast Relatable in March of 2018 with CRTV. The show airs on a variety of podcast platforms every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and analyzes culture, news, politics and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective. In 2019, CRTV and TheBlaze merged to become BlazeTV, which now distributes Relatable.
In July 2018, Stuckey released a video on her CRTV Facebook page that depicted a satirical interview with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in which the politician appeared to give bizarre answers to the questions she was asked by Stuckey. The video used edited footage from an interview Ocasio-Cortez had previously done on the PBS show Firing Line, and spliced Ocasio-Cortez's answers as responses to Stuckey's questions. The video went viral, with many people labeling the video as a hoax. On her Twitter page, Stuckey responded to the backlash by writing, "If you have to do research to figure out that a video that blatantly absurd is satirical, you shouldn’t be on the Internet." Stuckey claimed that she was surprised by the response to the video, and that "A lot of people on the left just can’t tolerate someone on the right making a joke, because the only humor now that is protected is humor that is against conservatives or against President Trump."
In September 2019, Stuckey spoke at Congressman Dan Crenshaw's inaugural Youth Summit in Houston alongside Nikki Haley, Marcus Luttrell, Roger Clemens, and Dakota Meyer.
On November 14, 2019, Stuckey testified as an expert witness before the House of Representatives in a hearing called "Examining State Efforts to Undermine Access to Reproductive Care" held by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on the issue of abortion in Missouri. Stuckey was the sole witness to testify for the Republicans. Her opening statement drew support from conservative commentators and Republican members of congress, as well as criticism from Democratic congresspeople and liberal media outlets.
Stuckey's first book, You're Not Enough (And That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love, is published by Sentinel, an imprint of Penguin Random House, and will be released May 5, 2020.
Stuckey speaks at a variety of events each year, including events held by Turning Point USA, Young Americans Foundation, and Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute. In 2019, she served as the chairwoman of Turning Point USA's Young Women's Leadership Summit.
