The Gateway Pundit
November 3, 2025
By Jim Hoft
Jim Robinson, the visionary founder of Free Republic and one of the internet’s earliest conservative pioneers, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 27, 2025, in Fresno, California. He was 79.
Longtime readers of this website may remember our frequent posting of Free Republic articles on The Gateway Pundit. The online community at Free Republic was one of the most devoted and energized conservative grassroots organizations in the country.
All of us here at The Gateway Pundit would like to thank Jim and his family for their dedication to the truth and their support for our great nation.
Rest in peace, Jim Robinson.
