#3 Early life and career
Born in The Bronx,[4] Lockhart is the son of Raymond Lockhart, a longtime NBC producer associated with the Huntley-Brinkley Report and special-events coverage. He grew up in Suffern, New York. In 1978 he moved to Washington D.C. to attend Georgetown University where he received a BA in History. In 1980, he worked on Jimmy Carter's presidential reelection campaign.

He was press secretary for the 1984 presidential campaign of Walter Mondale, then worked for Paul Simon in the Senate. Stints with ABC and CNN followed, then the Michael Dukakis campaign. He moved to Robinson, Lake, Lerer & Montgomery with Mike McCurry, then back to ABC when they hired his (former) wife and colleague from the Mondale campaign Laura Logan. Another gig with NBC covering the Romanian Revolution of 1989 preceded his first on-air job with Sky News reporting on the Gulf War and then business. Private practice with Robinson, Lake followed, where he handled publicity for the Al Nahayan family during parts of the BCCI scandal.

Clinton presidential campaign and the White House
At a time when Lockhart was considering working for AOL,[1] Mike McCurry recruited Lockhart back into politics, and he joined the 1996 Clinton re-election campaign.[5] He served as the campaign spokesman and, following President Clinton's successful reelection, as Deputy Press Secretary to McCurry. After standing in for him on occasion to brief the press, Lockhart eventually succeeded McCurry and delivered his first briefing as Press Secretary on October 5, 1998.[6]

Lockhart handled the press during Clinton's impeachment and the 2000 Camp David Summit.

After the White House
Lockhart was brought on to the John Kerry presidential campaign as a senior advisor in September 2004.[7]

On September 8, 2004, CBS News aired a controversial report on presidential candidate George W. Bush's military record. The authenticity of the Killian documents used in that report are under scrutiny. In the course of the next few days, it was discovered that Joseph Lockhart, then senior advisor to presidential candidate John Kerry, had made a phone call to Texas National Guard officer, Bill Burkett on September 4, 2004.[8][9] Lockhart stated later that an unnamed female CBS producer asked him to contact Burkett.[8][9] Lockhart has denied that the call with Burkett had anything to do with the National Guard issue.[9]

Lockhart co-founded the consulting firm Glover Park Group, becoming its Managing Director.[10]

In June 2011, he joined Facebook as the head of the company's corporate, policy and international communications team. Not wanting to relocate to the company's headquarters in Menlo Park, California, he left the company in October 2012.[11]

On February 15, 2016, Lockhart was introduced as the new executive vice president of communications and top public relations official for the National Football League; he left the job after the 2018 Super Bowl to spend time with his family.[12][3]

Personal life
Lockhart was previously married to Laura Logan, Deputy Press Secretary for John Glenn's 1984 presidential run and a longtime ABC News producer.[13] In 2013, Lockhart married Giovanna Gray. [14]

In 2016, it was announced that President Obama and his family planned to rent Lockhart's Kalorama home after he left office.[15] It was later revealed that the Obamas purchased the house from the Lockharts in May 2017, saying that it made sense to own the property since they would remain in Washington for at least another two years. [16]

#4 You really, really, really want a civil war. Don't ya? This does nothing but inflame both sides.

When it does happen, you will die. Preferably at the end of a rope.

#5 A true operative of the Democratic party invasively infiltrating the Press, Facebook and the NFL while supporting a BCCI insider family. For those too young - BCCI, Pakistani Bank helped collapse US Savings and Loans in the 80s with the money financing Pakistan's nuclear bomb and certain key Democratic Party Insiders ...

#6 He's just making stuff up, but the scary part is that in his mind we really did say these things. That's literally hallucinating.

#7 ....screaming for the blood of people from color.

Classic tribalism and projection. I can think of few better examples.

#8 Uneducated ?

I'll bet even a meagre collective of Trump supporters can beat the scores of the entire Congress in a fair exam, any day.

#9 The incessant prating about the isms has left me saying "I don't care if you call me rayciss or sexiss or whatever. I. Just. Don't. Care." Like the race card it's overplayed and tapped out.

#10 I myself have been a fascist and racist since the Oslo accords.

#11 Joe Lockhart, a luminary "no-nothing" in a party of no-nothings. "In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king…" He continues to carry water for the Donks. To think, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski embodied in one person--who'd a thought it possible?

#15 The gentleman has quite a record. I want to know which Democratic presidential candidate he supports, so I know who can be safely dismissed.

#16 These days the words racist and nazi are used for anyone who doesn't agree with the left. These words have lost their original meaning. But now, I think people who use these words with utter thoughtlessness should try to understand that, as such, these words have become every bit as offensive as the slurs that are used by real racists.

There are no gas chambers, no lynchings and the only Brown Shirts are Antifa who hate Trump. This is real hate with real violence and Democrats condone it.

These are incendiary words that Lockhart is using against a whole class of people who he does not know. That is the very definition of prejudice.

You can't resolve any issues with someone who calls you a racist or a nazi because right off the bat you're so pissed off that all you want to do is punch them out. Even when you try to calm down and reason with them they shout you down. Their minds are closed and there is no reasoning with them. It is a dangerous situation.

#17 Methinks his former boss is egging him on. Note that the frenzied & frothing former shill for Clinton accuses Trump (in Tweet # 347) of raping children with Epstein.

Smells like an attempt at a pre-emptive redirect away from Epstein-related charges that will soon come out against his former boss...

#18 Joe Lockhart Calls Trump Supporters ‘Resentful, uneducated people screaming for blood from people of color’

Coming from an ignoramus speaking to a bunch of bleeding hearts for effect only, I take this as a compliment.
