Liberal podcasters tell TPUSA to ‘f— off’ as Charlie Kirk backlash costs them advertisers
The hosts of the liberal podcast “I’ve Had It” renewed their criticism of Turning Point USA after apologising for laughing at a joke about exhuming Charlie Kirk’s body. Co-host Angie Sullivan told the organisation to “f— all the way off”, while Jennifer Welch said her apology reflected her own convictions, not pressure from TPUSA.
The row has cost the podcast some advertising: Cash App said it had ended its sponsorship, and Boll & Branch was also reported to have withdrawn. A Democratic source alleged Welch had sought advice on handling the backlash and estimated lost sponsorships at tens of thousands of dollars; Welch denied speaking to a senior Democrat or using ChatGPT to prepare a response. She said the podcast removed the segment and donated to Everytown for Gun Safety, and maintained it still had advertisers.
