[Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”]
If you’re not familiar with Democrat influencer Jennifer Welch, co-host of the popular I’ve Had It podcast, you will be, because as conservative activist and author Allie Beth Stuckey put it on X, Welch “holds the fate of the West in her hands.”
On the Monday edition of the show she hosts with former attorney Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, Welch unloaded with a typically profane commentary in which she not only reveled in the politically motivated assassination of late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, but demanded that her fellow Democrats “get onboard” with this murderous agenda or else they’ll be targeted too.
Welch’s disturbing comments were in reaction to a video from conservative YouTuber Kaitlin Bennett, in which the latter interviewed an unhinged progressive at a “No Kings” protest who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s killing and described him as “horrible, horrible.” The white female also told Bennett she might want her dead as well.
Following the clip, rather than condemn the repugnant bloodlust, Welch chuckled and told her Democrat viewers they need to either fall in line with this idea of celebrating and committing violence against their political opponents or get left behind, because the former is where people like Welch are taking the party:
So, listen up, Democratic establishment. You can either jump onboard with this shit or we’re coming after you in the same way that we come after MAGA, period. That woman [in the video clip] out in somewhere middle America saying, ‘Fuck Charlie Kirk, he was a racist, he was a piece of shit.’ There are so many more of us than there are of them.
Bennett retweeted the video clip on X, calling for followers to “Pray for this woman! Only someone miserable would project their misery onto others like this.” While you’re at it, pray for the future conservative targets of Left-wing assassination and their families too, because more Charlie Kirk-style attacks are coming, thanks to the goading of psychotically vengeful white liberal women like Welch.
Back in February, Welch and co-host Sullivan were featured as guests on ABC News’ inexplicably long-running propaganda gabfest The View. At that time, The View co-harpies like race-mongering golem Sunny Hostin praised Welch and her podcast as must-watch media:
I love it all because it’s all so true, you know? Jennifer, it must feel really refreshing to say, “I’ve had it,” because I think a lot of us have had it. A lot of people agree with you obviously because listeners are listening in. Your podcast has been topping the charts.
A former interior designer and reality TV personality, Welch told The View’s progressive female audience that her podcast began in 2022 as “counterprogramming to the toxic positivity culture because it’s more realistic, and so that’s what we offer our listeners, is just authentic trash talking.” Charming. But the show has segued into political commentary and Welch has subsequently become a Left-wing media favorite, as Fox News reports:
Welch and Sullivan were invited onto NBC’s “Today” fourth-hour program twice and have appeared on “CBS Mornings” and ABC’s “The View” to promote a book earlier this year. They also received glowing profiles in Rolling Stone, The Guardian and New York Magazine’s The Cut and were invited to MSNBC’s live event in New York City, all within the last month.

After making her CNN debut with Sullivan in September 2024, Welch has made at least four solo appearances on “CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip” since May. She’s also been on MSNBC three times in recent months.
I’ve Had It is among the top 100 podcasts on Apple with over 1.37 million subscribers on YouTube, as of this writing. Welch’s recent guests include House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, MSNBC propagandist Jen Psaki, and predictably, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, about whom Welch raved:
Zohran Mamdani is putting on a masterclass on how the Democrats win. This guy is the future of the Democratic Party and the fact there is leadership in the Democratic Party that has not endorsed this man is why we lose.
Welch has capitalized on the Left’s increasingly vile and dehumanizing rhetoric normalizing brutality toward the MAGA movement and Trump administration officials. She has branded Trump advisor Stephen Miller a “Nazi Jew,” for example, and dismissed female conservative activists like Riley Gaines as “insufferable twats” and “dumb bitches.”
She excoriates even Democrat leaders she considers insufficiently zealous – smearing Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, for example, as “pussies” and “dipshits” for “sitting on the sidelines” instead of bolstering big rallies featuring Democrat radicals like Muslim communist Mamdani and lunatic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “Get your shit together, Hakeem and Chuck. Seriously, get your shit together because the Democratic Party is moving on. We are moving on.”
A self-described gay Democrat socialist on X with the handle “Professional Zoomer” posted a photo of Welch with the caption, “I think people are underestimating just how much her endorsement in the 2028 primaries will matter.” He may be right. Celebrity endorsements now count for nothing, as Kamala Harris found out in the 2024 election, but online influencers like Welch, who are pushing the envelope of Democrat radicalism rather than urging centrist moderation, are a relatively new and different force to contend with. They can move the election needle where Beyoncé and Taylor Swift no longer can.
Jennifer Welch’s brand of angry agitprop is intended first of all to ensure that she stays in the forefront of media attention, because the former reality star-wannabe is ultimately about hyping her booming brand; but secondarily, her vile demonization of political opponents is designed to keep a fire lit under the white female-driven “resistance” that is already underway against the Trump administration and MAGA Americans. It is designed to “rub raw the resentments of the people,” as satanic Left-wing strategist Saul Alinsky put it, to keep America in a state of divided, revolutionary chaos. Her growing media presence and influence threaten to instigate even further violence from a Democrat Party that already openly embraces domestic terrorism in lieu of peaceful, democratic engagement in the political process.
In response to the aforementioned tweet about people underestimating Jennifer Welch’s endorsement, one X poster commented, “This person is inconsequential and I hope she’s enjoying her 15 minutes of social media attention.” But we ignore and dismiss Welch and her ilk at our peril.
