Liberal podcaster Jennifer Welch escalated her feud with the organization, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), calling the group “losers” and saying an apology for laughing about killing TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk again wasn’t meant for conservatives.
Welch and her “I’ve Had It Podcast” co-host, Angie Sullivan, issued a mealy-mouthed apology on Saturday, saying they shouldn’t have laughed at an “insensitive joke” and noting they would donate to a gun violence prevention organization. The apology came after sponsors started to bail and TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet posted updates, suggesting 21 companies have severed ties or clarified they’re not associated with the show since their viral laughter over a morbid Kirk joke caused widespread backlash.
“There’s a huge online cancelation campaign from all the titty babies over at Turning Point that want ‘I’ve Had It Podcast’ to be canceled,” Welch said in a video and posted to Instagram on Sunday.
“Why is Turning Point spearheading this? Well, let me tell you why. They are in big trouble,” Welch continued. “Even Republicans are starting to question, ‘Are they worth it?’ They get millions of dollars in funding, and as everybody saw on Tuesday, they got L after L after L, because they’re losers and they lost.”

Welch insisted they “believe in nothing,” and are “trying to ignite a war” with her far-left podcast.
“They want to prove to their donors, ‘We can cancel libs,'” Welch said.
Welch then turned her attention to Kolvet, who said the liberal podcasters are “part of a toxic and evil culture that perpetuates violence against conservatives.”
Welch and Sullivan drew sharp backlash last week after they broke out into laughter while reading a post aloud: “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.”
Kolvet had previously responded to the apology that Welch and Sullivan issued once sponsors began to flee their show, suggesting he wouldn’t listen until they actually changed their ways. But the “I’ve Had It Podcast” co-hosts don’t appear willing to budge.
“Andrew, we’re never, ever, going to sit down and listen to you,” Welch said.

“When we apologize for laughing at a joke on our podcast, that wasn’t for you, that was for us, because somebody that I love very much died from gun violence… and I just didn’t feel good about that,” she continued. “That apology was, so that when I advocate commonsense gun reform, that I’m doing it clean and clear. I don’t expect you to understand this, because at Turning Point, you all laugh at violence all the time.”
Welch continued criticizing Kolvet, saying the notion that he thought the apology was for him “exemplifies how out of whack you are with where the American people are right now.”
“This is their pathetic attempt to cancel us,” Welch said. “Let’s grow this thing and show Turning Point how irrelevant they are.”
Welch also called Turning Point a “hateful organization,” before Sullivan chimed in with a vulgar outburst.
Kolvet responded to their video by posting, “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 surprising thing of all. I never once expected you to listen to me. But maybe, just maybe, you’ll listen to all the brands that no longer want to be associated with you.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Kolvet for additional comment but did not immediately hear back.
Welch was an Oklahoma City-based interior designer who starred in the short-lived Bravo reality show “Sweet Home Oklahoma” from 2017-2018. In 2022, she launched “I’ve Had It” with Sullivan and the program has since emerged as one of the most popular anti-Trump platforms in media.
