For those who have been living peacefully in a cozy cave, devouring nutritious food for thought, I’m here to interrupt your pleasant life. While a steady diet of tripe from leftists is unhealthy, small morsels every once and again supercharges the immune system.
The tripe ‘o’ the day comes from the poison lips of Jennifer Welch but first the context.
Welch is the podcaster who in July 2026 said this about homeschooling parents:
These are people who fear critical thinking more than anything else on the planet. … They’re incapable of critical thinking. They’re incapable of deduction skills. … This is trickle-down stupidity. …. This is the worst, worst, worst. … America has a crazy Christian problem. We have a fundamental crazy Christian problem. … I’m talking about the freaks of the megachurch.
On Thursday Nov. 5, 2026, Jennifer Welch and her “I’ve Had It” podcast pal Angie “Pumps” Sullivan posted a screenshot from an X account that said, “we’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.” Just thinking about murder sent Mean Girls Welch and Sullivan into paroxysms of belly laughs. Welch struggled to breathe amid her chortling. So much for leftist “empathy.”
On Friday, their ugly buffoonery made the news big time, and the chortling ended. It ended because their sponsors had had it. Apparently, celebrating the murder of a young husband and father doesn’t sell products.
The Mean Girls posted a terse pseudo-apology on the podcast’s Instagram account on Saturday morning in which they said they had donated to the leftist gun-control outfit called Everytown. I kid you not. That’s how they “apologized.”
While their public laughter ended, Welch’s bitterness did not. I guess when yellow bile flows through one’s veins, not even loss of sponsors and nationwide public condemnation for evil actions is sufficient for contrition. You can lead a virago to humble pie, but you can’t make her eat.
How do I know the Saturday morning apology was a pseudo-apology intended to stanch the flow of money pouring out of their filthy coffers?
Well, despite losing dozens of sponsors, late Saturday afternoon at the Crooked Con event in Washington D.C. Welch took the shovel with which she longed to dig up Charlie Kirk and started digging her own hole a little deeper. What makes this “apology” follow-up distinctive is its arrogance and dishonesty. So, let’s take the major claims of her sorry-not-sorry apology one by one:
1. “At first I was just kind of like, you know, f them, it was a joke, move on down the road.”
A truly contrite person, someone who genuinely regrets the harm their words may have caused Charlie’s young widow, their children, his parents, and his friends would not have included such a dismissive, vulgar comment. An apologetic person who understands that laughter at such an ugly thought about murder might contribute to the normalization of evil thoughts and actions would have self-censored so as not to be part of the problem.
2. “Of course I condemn gun violence. But I thought about it, and two years ago, a young man that worked for me since he was in high school, uh, was shot and killed in Oklahoma City, he was murdered. … And it was so devastating for me. … every time I go back to Oklahoma City, it’s just it’s difficult for me to even go back there because I think about him.”
The classic “yes … but.” A person who truly regrets cruel actions would not excuse or rationalize their actions. An apologetic person would not dangle a glittery red herring in front of the persons to whom she is apologizing. She wouldn’t say, “Look at my pain. Look how I have suffered through the murder of my friend.” Welch exploited the murder of her former employee to render herself a more sympathetic character in the ugly story she authored. While I don’t doubt she was saddened by the murder of her young employee, I don’t believe for a second that it’s difficult for her “to even go back” to Oklahoma City.
3. “I’m getting about 400 death threats a minute on my Instagram. And the death threats from these people that are offended by my laughing at the joke are, ‘I can’t believe you laughed at Charlie Kirk, we can’t wait for you to die C-U-N-T.’ And so, the selective outrage is on them.”
Yes, social media is the dumping ground for evil words from angry people, which is exactly why Welch should have used her voice more responsibly. While I find the “400 death threats a minute” claim dubious and I doubt all those threats said, “we can’t wait for you to die C-U-N-T,” I don’t doubt she received a boatload of nasty comments. I’m spit-balling here, but I suspect not one threat came from a person with a voice as amplified as hers. She and her Mean Gal Pal freely chose to guffaw publicly about the murder of a young father and then Welch took umbrage at those who followed her example.
4. “[B]ut I’m responsible for me. … I don’t really like MAGA, but I want them to have healthcare, I want their future gay children to grow up in a place where LGBTQ+ people have equal rights. But also, the same for grief. And so, I apologized, and I made a donation to Everytown … because I wanted to put my money where my mouth is. This enraged them even more that I donated.”
Next Welch pretends to take full responsibility for her actions—that is, after criticizing others for their mean responses to her awful behavior. And how does she take responsibility for her podcast ugliness? First, by indirectly hectoring conservatives about their views on universal healthcare and homosexuality, and then by donating money to a leftist organization. How shocking that an apology from a leftist that includes an admission that she donated to leftists would not sit well with conservatives. Yep, that’s exactly what one would expect from a leftist who doesn’t really regret laughing about the murder of a conservative.
5. “TPUSA, Charlie Kirk, and their movement—I stand against everything. I want an inclusive world, a non-violent world. I want common sense gun reform. But … because I have ascended and I have so many listeners, I want to keep my side of the street clean.“
This tells you all your need to know about Welch: She stands against everything that’s just, true, and good. And she has no idea what the movement Charlie Kirk spearheaded wants, which includes a non-violent world. Apparently, Welch hasn’t noticed that most of the violence committed in the United States and around the world is being committed by leftists and Islamists—not Charlie Kirk’s supporters.
Welch’s clean street is inclusive all right. It includes cross-dressing men reading stories to toddlers, undressing in women’s locker rooms, and invading girls sports. Her clean street does not, however, include conservative Christians whom she clearly loathes.
Welch might want to look again. In the past few days, she may have descended a bit from her ascendant position on that high horse.
