American political discourse isn’t just broken, it’s in tatters. What started as heated debates over tax policy and healthcare has morphed into something genuinely terrifying: open celebrations of political assassination and explicit threats against anyone who dares to hold conservative views. The corporate press, which loves to lecture us about “protecting democracy,” has instead become a launching pad for people who peddle this murderous rhetoric.
Here’s the uncomfortable question nobody wants to answer: When a prominent podcaster can openly threaten both conservatives and moderate Democrats with violence, and when protesters can celebrate the murder of a young conservative activist without consequence, where exactly are the handcuffs? More to the point, why are those responsible facing zero accountability for what amounts to straight-up incitement of violence?
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
Welch played a clip of Kaitlin Bennett out interviewing people at October’s No King’s march, in which one woman told Bennett that Kirk was “horrible,” adding, “I’m glad he’s not here.” Bennett asked the woman, “You’re glad he is dead?” The woman replied, “Yes.”
Cutting back to Welch, she said, “so listen up Democratic establishment: you can either jump on board with this sh*t or we’re coming after you in the same way that we come after MAGA, period.”
Jennifer Welch plays a clip of someone celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder and says:
“Listen up Democratic establishment. You can either jump on board with this sh*t, or we’re coming after you in the same way that we come after MAGA.”

The Celebration of Political Violence
This isn’t some dark web extremist ranting in their basement—this is Jennifer Welch, host of the “I’ve Had It” podcast, and she wasn’t just targeting conservatives. Her comments came after playing footage of a protester who told conservative interviewer Kaitlin Bennett that she was “glad” Charlie Kirk was dead. When Bennett asked if the woman would be glad if she died too, the protester responded “Maybe! I’d have to think about it,” while Welch laughed approvingly in the background.
This woman is literally celebrating murder—and getting laughs for it. Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated just last month while speaking at a college campus. His death represents not just a tragedy for his family and the conservative movement, but a stomach-turning milestone in American political violence. Yet instead of universal condemnation, we’re witnessing celebration from the radical left. They’re not even pretending to be horrified anymore.
Mainstream Media’s Dangerous Dance
What makes Welch’s homicidal rhetoric particularly infuriating is her connection to establishment media. Just eight months ago—eight months!—ABC’s “The View” featured Welch as a guest, with host Sunny Hostin gushing over her podcast, saying “it must feel really refreshing” and noting how “listeners are listening in” because the “podcast has been topping the charts.” (Side note: The View has quite the track record here—they previously hosted Jane Fonda, who suggested “murder” as a solution to pro-life activists. Sensing a pattern?)
Senator Eric Schmitt’s recent Senate hearing on political violence revealed bone-chilling statistics that should make every American’s blood run cold: 48 percent of left-leaning Americans say it would be justified to murder Elon Musk, while 53 percent say the same about President Trump. Think about that. More than half of Democrats believe assassinating the president would be justified. These aren’t fringe extremists hiding in internet forums—these are your neighbors, your coworkers, people walking around thinking political murder is just fine.
The legacy networks won’t touch this story with a ten-foot pole. Wonder why?
The Urgent Need for Accountability
The silence from law enforcement and Democratic leadership? Absolutely deafening. Where are the investigations? Where are the condemnations from Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries—the very leaders Welch threatened if they don’t “jump on board”? We all know what would happen if a conservative podcaster had made similar threats against liberals. Wall-to-wall coverage, FBI raids at dawn, congressional hearings for months.
But when it’s conservatives in the crosshairs? Crickets.
This isn’t about political disagreement anymore—we crossed that bridge a long time ago. This is about preserving the basic foundations of our republic. Political violence is becoming normalized, even celebrated by people with massive platforms and establishment media connections. We’re watching the real-time breakdown of civilized society, and the people in charge are too cowardly (or too complicit) to stop it.
Here’s what keeps me up at night: Does anyone with a badge actually care enough to do something? Our democracy—hell, our survival—depends on the answer.
Key Takeaways
- Left-wing podcaster Jennifer Welch openly threatened violence against conservatives and moderate Democrats
- Mainstream media platforms like The View promoted Welch just months before her violent rhetoric
- 53% of left-leaning Americans now say assassinating President Trump would be justified
- Zero accountability or law enforcement action despite explicit calls for political violence
