Mark Levin Mocked After Complaining About AOL Email Lockout

Levin, a close supporter of President Donald Trump, said on X on November 10 that he had been unable to access his AOL account after spending the day trying to get it unlocked. He said the matter had been referred to supervisors, but he had not received a response after eight hours of waiting.

Levin joked that he was among the last people still using AOL and said he planned to leave the service once he regained access. On his radio show, he explained that he had kept the account because it held emails dating back to the 1980s. He said repeated security checks had failed, and that he had been hung up on twice while calling for help.

The post drew millions of views and a wave of jokes about AOL’s age, dial-up internet and other outdated technology. Former congressman Matt Gaetz and conservative commentator Matt Walsh were among those who joined in. Trump adviser Roger Stone, by contrast, called the situation “crazy.”

Some commenters connected the episode to Levin’s political influence and support for U.S. action against Iran. South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace said his continued use of AOL and his views on Middle East wars were strikingly similar in their staying power. Levin responded by criticizing Mace’s qualifications and suggesting she might soon need a private-sector job.

Levin said he would switch email providers after recovering his account. AOL had not responded to his complaint by the time of publication.
