The right wing Human Events reports:
Famed Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak is set to retire from the show at the end of its 41st season. Sajak has been an outspoken conservative, and in his upcoming departure from the evening game show, Sajak will continue to serve as Hillsdale College’s Board of Trustees chairman.
Hillsdale College, a prominent conservative college in Michigan, announced Sajak’s promotion to chairman in 2019, following the announcement that William Brodbeck would be retiring.

Human Events was co-founded by the late William Regnery, whose publishing house puts out far-right and anti-LGBTQ books, including Sen. Josh Hawley’s recent how-to book on butchness.
Hillsdale College has recently served as the model for Christian nationalist indoctrination in public schools and universities, most notably in Florida.
Pat Sajak appeared on JMG multiple times over the last decade for tweets ridiculing gay people, prominent Democrats, Obamacare, liberal celebrities, and climate change activism.
