Canada Lauren Chen is a conservative political commentator and former YouTube personality, known for her analyses on political and social issues and her work with various conservative media platforms.
Lauren Chen used the moniker 'Roaming Millennial' for her YouTube channel, where she posted conservative political and social commentary videos. This channel gained over 400,000 subscribers and 45 million views before its termination.
Co-founded by Lauren Chen and Liam Donovan, Tenet Media was a media company alleged by a federal indictment to have received approximately $10 million in funding and direction from a covert Russian operation to disseminate pro-Russian propaganda. It aimed to influence U.S. public opinion by creating and publishing content favorable to Russian interests.
Lauren Chen contributed opinion pieces to RT, a Russian state-owned media outlet, starting in 2021. According to a federal indictment, she was allegedly compensated by RT to create and publish over 200 videos on her personal YouTube channel without disclosing the sponsorship, and later to recruit other commentators for Tenet Media.
Lauren Chen joined TheBlaze, a conservative media network founded by Glenn Beck, as a video creator and hosted her own show titled 'Pseudo-Intellectual.' She was later fired from TheBlaze following the unsealing of a federal indictment linking her to alleged Russian propaganda.
Lauren Chen contributed to Turning Point USA, an American conservative nonprofit organization. Her author page was removed from the organization's website after the federal indictment linking her to alleged Russian influence operations became public.
In late 2018, Lauren Chen began writing for Evie Magazine, an anti-feminist women's magazine. Her articles addressed topics such as hookup culture and careerism in women, and she also wrote a column in 2020 defending the use of 'the Chinese virus' for COVID-19.
Lauren Chen, born Lauren Yu Sum Tam in Quebec, Canada, in 1994, is a conservative political commentator. She spent a significant portion of her childhood in Hong Kong and has lived in Shanghai, Singapore, and London. Chen pursued higher education in the United States, attending the University of Southern California and Brigham Young University. She graduated cum laude from Brigham Young University in December 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science, where she also studied screenwriting. Chen began her online career in 2016 under the moniker “Roaming Millennial” on YouTube. Her content primarily focused on conservative viewpoints, addressing immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and feminism.
Her online presence grew, connecting her with both established conservative figures and more controversial personalities. In 2017, she interviewed white supremacist Richard Spencer, maintaining that she disagreed with his white nationalist views while engaging with him. This positioned her as a bridging figure between mainstream conservatism and the online far-right. In December 2017, she founded Roaming Millennial Inc., a company incorporated in Quebec, Canada, which she co-owns with her husband, Liam Donovan. By 2019, her YouTube channel garnered over 400,000 subscribers and 45 million views. She contributed to Evie Magazine, an anti-feminist publication, and later joined CRTV, which merged with TheBlaze. At TheBlaze, she hosted her own show, “Pseudo-Intellectual,” and also contributed to Turning Point USA.
In 2021, Chen began writing op-eds for RT, a Russian state-backed media channel, with articles such as “America’s ‘white supremacy’ is a myth.” A federal indictment later alleged that she, referred to as “Founder-1,” received compensation from RT to produce over 200 videos for her personal YouTube channel without disclosing the sponsorship. In January 2022, she co-founded Tenet Media with her husband. The indictment, unsealed in September 2024, alleged that Tenet Media received approximately $10 million in funding and direction from a Russian covert operation to spread pro-Russian propaganda. Following this, Chen was fired from TheBlaze, her Turning Point USA author page was removed, and YouTube terminated all her channels, including Tenet Media’s.
