Bullies, particularly leftist thugs, follow a familiar pattern: They needle, pester, provoke, and harass until they finally cross a line. Then, when someone calls them out, they play the victim. Radical leftists Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan follow this pattern precisely.
Welch and Sullivan are the cohosts and personalities of the I’ve Had It podcast, a far-left talk show that embodies some of the most hateful and wicked rhetoric in our society. Welch is extremely anti-Christian, saying that “white evangelical Christians are a cancer,” and she regularly preaches about how much she hates MAGA, Donald Trump, and JD Vance. Sullivan has called parents who homeschool “weird” because they like to be around their children.
Well, on Thursday, the duo finally messed up big time.
Giddy after last week’s blue-wave election, both hosts read posts from leftists on social media. One of them was about how leftists were going to make up all sorts of pronouns. Another was about opening a line of credit for free abortions, which is bloodthirsty in and of itself. But then they took it a step further, reading a post that said, “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.” Both women snorted with uncontrollable laughter. As they were chortling, an off-screen voice said, “I’m zooming in for Fox [News].” The video clip went viral, of course.
🚨 SICK: Jennifer Welch read a joke on the I've Had It podcast that said "We're digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it AGAIN." She and Angie Sullivan put their heads down and LAUGHED for more than 20 seconds. Charlie was assassinated in front of his wife and kids' community at a Show more
Sullivan went on to perpetuate the lie that Kirk was killed by a MAGA supporter. Tyler Robinson, the alleged shooter, is a far-left wack job. Watch any amount of the pretrial proceedings, and the truth becomes clear.
Their amusement at the thought of digging up Kirk and assassinating him again is outrageous and more than insensitive; it’s an endorsement of leftist violence. A good man who championed free speech and challenged college students to think rather than parrot rhetoric was assassinated because his approach was effective. Yet all Welch and Sullivan saw was a white evangelical Christian male being “racist” and “bigoted.” Kirk was neither racist nor bigoted.
So-called gun restrictionists and anti-violence apologists don’t seem to mind when the gun is killing someone they hate.
Many were deeply upset by these hosts’ behavior. Tellingly, as of this writing, more than 20 companies have pulled their sponsorships from the I’ve Had It podcast. Every company that has made a public statement said that celebrating political violence does not align with its values.
Welch and Sullivan scrambled to do damage control over the weekend. First, they posted an apology on their Instagram. They called their laughter “insensitive” and donated money to Everytown for Gun Safety, an organization dedicated to gun control. However, the very next day, Welch blamed Turning Point USA for the backlash and boycott, calling them “losers” because they weren’t able to turn sway the midterm election. She also claimed she was laughing at a joke that was just for “them,” her leftist audience.
So to recap, Welch has been antagonistic toward Christians and MAGA, has a history of making light of Kirk’s assassination, and now has publicly laughed at a desecration “joke” regarding his murder — but TPUSA is the bully? Also, if the joke was just for “them,” why did someone off-screen say they were zooming in on the laughing hosts’ faces for Fox News?
Conclusion: They aren’t sorry at all about their vindictive laughter; they’re just upset that they now have to face monetary consequences.
Dear Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan, Thanks for the video, but it’s not that hard. Just don’t legitimize political violence. You can blame me or Turning Point all you want, but we’re not the reason all your sponsors are fleeing. You are. Your lack of remorse is the least Show more
Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan of the “I’ve Had It” podcast have posted a new video slamming Turning Point for its coordinated boycott of their podcast, which has resulted in over a dozen advertisers stating they will no longer advertise on the show. They specifically mention
This has clearly hurt the podcast financially as Welch and Sullivan are asking listeners for funding. They made their bed; now they must lie in it.
As for the fleeing sponsors, good for them for drawing the line. And good for TPUSA for holding Welch and Sullivan accountable. Kirk was a political figure, but he was also a father, a son, a husband, a friend, and follower of Christ. The Left’s attempt to justify his murder through obfuscation and dehumanization is nothing more than a hollow cope. The women and men who celebrate such a tragic event should be rebuked.
My hope for these women is that the scales fall from their eyes and that they see the wickedness they are perpetuating. My prayer is that they repent, come to know Christ, and realize the peace, not hate, that comes with that relationship.
