In 2010, York wrote an op-ed titled “Obama has himself to blame for Muslim problem,” which argued that President Obama was himself to blame for the widespread misconception that he was Muslim. York wrote that Obama had written about his Muslim grandfather and noted that members of his extended family were Muslim. York said that the Obama campaign had “shouted down even a measured discussion of the topic”, and “to the outside observer, Obama sometimes doesn’t appear to practice any faith at all. Put it all together, and is it any wonder the public is confused?”

Conspiracies

According to the Toronto Star, York has “[led] the inquiries into the alleged deep-state conspiracy against Trump.” According to Slate, York has “[spread] conspiracy theories about the FBI.” York suggested that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election could be compromised because of an alleged friendship with former FBI Director James Comey, whom President Trump fired. York supported Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham’s recommendation of criminal charges against Christopher Steele, one of the people who sought to expose Russian interference in the 2016 election. They alleged that Steele had lied to federal authorities. However, federal authorities have not filed charges against him for lying.

 In July 2018, when Mariia Butina, an accused Russian spy who had sought to involve herself in the NRA and the Republican Party, was arrested, York downplayed the charges. In February 2019, York argued that the attempt by the new Democratic majority in the House of Representatives to compel the release of President Trump’s tax returns amounted to the “ultimate fishing expedition.” In 2020, during the George Floyd protests against racism and police brutality, York criticized a statement by former President George W. Bush which said it was “time for America to examine our tragic failures.” York said it was “remarkable” that Bush “almost completely ignored riots, violence.”
