The Untold Truth Of Fox News' Kat Timpf

Kat Timpf was born and raised in Detroit, Mich. and attended the nearby Hillsdale College, graduating magna cum laude with a B.A. in English.. Hillsdale is notable for developing a core curriculum around Western heritage, as well as for denying financial support from the government, relying instead on private donations to help the college stay afloat. This practice reportedly helped inspire Timpf's belief in libertarianism.

In an interview with Hillsdale's The Collegian, Timpf called the "bravery" of the institution's decision to reject federal funding "amazing." She said Hillsdale "has shown that a private solution for education is possible." Timpf also stated that in her view, libertarianism "means limited government in all aspects. So get it out of economic policy, have a sensible foreign policy, and allow social decisions to be made by the individual."

Timpf told The Collegian that she was not as conservative as some of her classmates, nor does she lump herself in with the brand of conservatism touted by some of her colleagues at Fox News. "You just have to know what you believe and why you believe it," she said. "Being a libertarian, there is something about me for everyone to hate, but there is also something about me for everyone to agree on."
