Things just got weird on the liberal podcast circuit — again.
Former Bravo reality star Jennifer Welch and Obama bro Tommy Vietor went on a full-blown meltdown during a recent episode of the “I’ve Had It” podcast, and let’s just say, the unhinged name-calling might’ve told us more about them than the people they’re attacking.
It started with Vietor whining — again — about how the MAGA movement is “cool” and dominating the culture. He sounded like a middle schooler mad that the popular kids won’t let him sit at their lunch table. According to him, the right is winning the culture war, and he just can’t take it. He’s not wrong — we are winning — but the meltdown that followed was something else.
Jennifer Welch, who apparently thinks being loud and vulgar counts as smart political commentary, jumped in to take the crazy to new heights. She called Senator JD Vance a “failed drag queen,” and then went off on some bizarre theory about him attending a “gay boot camp” hosted by billionaire Peter Thiel. It was a nasty, homophobic jab cloaked in woke hypocrisy — the kind of thing the left would lose their minds over if anyone on the right said it.
But Welch didn’t stop there. She actually suggested JD Vance would be “cooler” if he just came out of the closet — as if a senator’s effectiveness is based on how well he fits into her Hollywood-approved identity boxes. This, from someone who has been embraced by CNN and MSNBC as some kind of political voice. It’s clown world.
Welch then trotted out some vintage leftist conspiracy junk, claiming that many Republicans pushing conservative values are secretly gay and ashamed of it. She called them “DL demon queens,” suggesting they hide their sexuality behind their politics. That’s right — in the same breath she accuses conservatives of being bigots, she throws out insults that are dripping in the kind of hate the left claims to oppose.
Tommy Vietor, meanwhile, nodded along like a bobblehead, agreeing that people suppress parts of their identity and act out in strange ways. Maybe he should take a look in the mirror. Because what this whole tantrum showed is just how out of touch these coastal elites really are.
They’re not mad because JD Vance wears the wrong suit or uses the wrong pronouns. They’re mad because he and others like him are winning. They’re mad because regular Americans are tired of being told what to think by washed-up reality stars and podcast hosts who think they’re smarter than everyone else.
Let’s be clear: JD Vance has become a rising star in the conservative movement because he talks about real issues — the border, jobs, the fentanyl crisis, protecting families. That’s the stuff voters care about. Not this weird obsession with people’s personal lives or conspiracy theories about “secret Republicans.”
Fox News reportedly reached out to Vance, Peter Thiel, and Speaker Mike Johnson for comments, but none had responded at the time of publication — probably because this whole episode is too ridiculous to dignify.
This is what the left has become. When they’re not busy calling people Nazis — yes, Welch actually called Stephen Miller a “Nazi Jew” earlier in the show — they’re throwing personal insults and pushing bizarre identity theories. It’s not politics; it’s middle-school drama with a side of CNN-approved snark.
But here’s the thing: America’s not buying it anymore. The more they rant, the more people wake up. The MAGA movement isn’t about being “cool.” It’s about being real — standing up for your country, your family, and your freedom.
And if that triggers Jennifer Welch and Tommy Vietor, maybe that’s a sign we’re doing something right.
