‘I’ve Had It’ Hosts Tell Republicans Outraged Over Charlie Kirk Comments to ‘F—k Off’

"We're never ever gonna sit down and listen to you," host Jennifer Welch tells her show's Turning Point USA boycotters The post ‘I’ve Had It’ Hosts Tell Republicans Outraged Over Charlie Kirk Comments to ‘F—k Off’ appeared first on TheWrap .

On Sunday, hosts of the "I’ve Had It" podcast, Jennifer Welch and Angie "Pumps" Sullivan, vehemently responded to conservative pundits urging their show to be canceled. The hosts sparked controversy last week when they laughed at a joke about the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Since then, numerous conservative figures, such as Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet, have been campaigning to have the podcast taken off the air and for its sponsors to sever their ties.

Welch told an Instagram video that "Turning Point is in big trouble" and had been "getting L after L after L after L" because they "believe in nothing." She also accused them of trying to "ignite a war with us" to appease their donors. Welcht emphasized that she and Sullivan refused to listen to Kolvet or any similar figures, stating "we’re never ever gonna sit down and listen to you."

Sullivan added that her guests "support representatives to Congress that protect pedophiles and sex traffickers" and "treat American citizens like animals." During a segment reacting to listeners' jokes about Democrats' midterm election wins, Welch and Sullivan laughed at a joke about digging up Charlie Kirk. The moment was later edited out of the episode.

Both hosts apologized for their insensitive laughter and donated to a gun violence prevention organization. Despite the apology, anger towards the "I’ve Had It" hosts persisted in conservative circles, with advertisers considering to sever ties with the podcast.
