Early Life and Education
On August 20, 1962, Tammy K. Bruce was born in Los Angeles, California, in the United States. She has both Scottish and Italian ancestry.
Her early exposure to the writings of authors Ray Bradbury and George Orwell, two of her favourite authors to this day, helped to ignite her interest in politics and individual liberty.
Bruce graduated with honours from the University of Southern California with a bachelor’s degree in political science.
She then went on to Claremont Graduate University to complete her doctorate.
Bruce revealed that she was bisexual and that she made the decision to identify as a lesbian in a 2006 interview with C-SPAN.
When she was 19, Bruce worked as a personal secretary for and was in a relationship with actress Brenda Benet, who had recently divorced actor Bill Bixby after ten years of marriage.
The two shared a home for nearly a year before Bruce moved out.
Benet became severely depressed after her son’s death, and she died of a self-inflicted gunshot at her home on April 7, 1982, just before she was to have lunch with Bruce.
After discovering Benet’s body, Bruce had a nervous breakdown and was taken to the hospital, where she stayed for a few days. Bill Bixby paid her entire hospital bill quietly.
Bruce has not had a romantic relationship since Benet’s death, and she currently has no children.
Career and Professional Work Experience
Bruce was the president of the National Organization for Women (NOW) Los Angeles chapter for seven years, from 1990 to 1996.
At the time, she was the youngest woman to head a significant NOW chapter.
She left her position as president of Los Angeles NOW in May of 1996. Bruce asserted that the reason for her censure was her emphasis on domestic violence, rather than the “racial issues” trial argument put forth by defense attorney Johnnie Cochran.
After resigning, she and Nicole Brown Simpson’s sister Denise Brown founded the Women’s Progress Alliance.
She was the host of an overnight talk show on KFI weekends in 1997. Bruce spent the majority of the 2000s as the host of a national radio show on Talk Radio Network.
Bruce was a lifelong Democrat until 2008 when she registered as unaffiliated. During the 1990s, she contributed to several Democratic campaigns, such as the Clinton for President campaign and the 1992 senate races involving Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein.
In the past, Ms. Bruce has backed conservatives such as President Reagan, President Bush and somewhat grudgingly, John McCain in the 2008 presidential campaign.
Bruce was chosen to be a member of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s transition team in 2003 following his victory over Gray Davis in the recall election.
In November 2012, she made a comeback to Talk Radio Network as a guest host while The Laura Ingraham Show was transferred from TRN to Courtside Entertainment Group.
Bruce outlined her criticisms of the modern feminist movement in a brief video that she made in 2014 for the right-wing Prager University YouTube channel.
Since 2005, Bruce has contributed to FOX News. She started hosting Get Tammy Bruce in 2019, which is available to stream on Fox Nation.
She currently serves as president of Independent Women’s Voice, a nonprofit organization that promotes conservative, free-market principles in order to empower women.
Films
Bruce debuted on screen in the independent short feature film 2081, which was adapted from Kurt Vonnegut’s short story “Harrison Bergeron.”
Bruce portrays Diana Moon Glampers, the US Handicapper General in a highly developed totalitarian-egalitarian society in this film.
Bruce appeared in the 2011 documentary “The Undefeated” in a supporting capacity as well.
Books
“The New Thought Police,” Tammy Bruce’s debut novel, was released in October 2001 by Forum, a Crown/Random House imprint.
It examines the value of individual freedom of speech and how that freedom is being threatened by the perilous rise of left-wing McCarthyism.
In April 2003, she published her second book with Random House, “The Death of Right and Wrong,” which tackles the rise of moral relativism in society and immediately became a New York Times bestseller.
Harper Collins/Morrow published Bruce’s latest book, “The New American Revolution: Using the Power of the Individual to Save Our Nation from Extremists,” in November 2005.
Achievements and Awards
The “Tammy Bruce Show” had its Los Angeles premiere in 1993 and went on to become a nationally syndicated program in 2005 with more than 200 terrestrial affiliates.
Bruce was the first nationally syndicated host to switch to online streaming full-time in 2009 when she successfully launched a popular live show and podcast on political and cultural topics.
Published every week by the Association for Mature Americans (AMAC), her column explores the intersection of politics, culture, and business.
Bruce has also been featured in profiles, and a wide range of national and international magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Washington Times, The Guardian, San Francisco Chronicle, Esquire, and The Advocate, have published her editorials and commentary on important social issues.
Controversies
Bruce was a member of NOW’s board of directors for two years, but in one of her books, she later attacked the organization.
She organized a year-long boycott of all books published by Knopf, the publisher of American Psycho, in the early 1990s in an attempt to draw attention to the sexualized violence in the book.
Bruce declared, “We’ve got trash in the White House,” following President Barack Obama and his family’s 2009 move into the White House.
After making an appearance as a guest on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News in May 2017, Bruce became the centre of controversy.
She chastised a child with autism for approaching Vice President Mike Pence to demand an apology after the latter inadvertently touched the child’s face. Later, she expressed her apologies.
