Personal Life Baldwin was born in Winnetka, Illinois, and studied at New Trier Township High School East in Winnetka. He has three children with his wife, Ami Julius. Politically, he has been a registered Democrat since 1980, but states that he re-examined his views after being given a copy of David Horowitz 's book Radical Son. He now considers himself a `` small government conservative libertarian '', and has contributed to The Huffington Post and Big Hollywood. He is an avid supporter of Ride 2 Recovery, a bike - riding organization set up for the rehabilitation of wounded veterans. He participated in the 2009 `` Do n't Mess With Texas Challenge '' bike ride. Baldwin is credited with having originated the GamerGate hashtag. His role in the GamerGate controversy led to a petition to prevent Baldwin from speaking at the Supanova Pop Culture Expo. The convention 's management eventually decided after much deliberation and in response to a more successful counter-petition that Baldwin 's views should not affect his guest appearance. In late 2015 Baldwin endorsed Ted Cruz for the 2016 United States presidential election via Twitter. On social media, fake pictures and GIFs of Emma González tearing up a copy of the U.S. Constitution were circulated in an effort to discredit the 2018 March for our Lives. In actuality, she was tearing up a paper shooting target. Baldwin defended circulating the doctored images as `` political satire ''. Baldwin is not related to the `` Baldwin brothers '' ( Alec, Daniel, William, and Stephen ).
