Podcasters Jennifer Welch and Angie "Pumps" Sullivan from the left-wing podcast "I've Had It" apologized on Saturday for laughing at an insensitive joke about Charlie Kirk during their Thursday episode. This apology came after prominent advertisers like Chewy and Cash App severed their ties with the podcast, leading to a wider boycott spearheaded by Kirk's supporters.
In the statement posted on the podcast's Instagram page, Welch and Sullivan expressed regret for their insensitive comment, emphasizing that they would not tolerate any form of violence and had made a donation to Everytown for Gun Safety. The joke in question was part of a segment where Welch read social media jokes from listeners celebrating Democrats' midterm wins.
One user suggested digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again, which resulted in the hosts laughing and eventually Welch saying, "No comment."
