Welch Claims She Loves Vance Kids More Than He Does, GOP Doesn’t ‘Give a S***’ About Vets

I’ve Had It co-host Jennifer Welch went on a tour de force of venom early Tuesday by, in less than 15 minutes, asserting she and her viewers care more about Vice President JD Vance’s children than he does, deemed it “Islamophobia” to call out Abdul el-Sayed’s deleted tweets about 9/11, insisted Republicans “don’t give a shit” about veterans, and smeared evangelical Christianity as “weird-ass shit” that “sexualiz[es]...children.”

First, she threw a conniption over Vance blasting el-Sayed on Monday as an Islamist and murderer apologist. She claimed without evidence that it’s “total bullshit” that Vance underwent a religious transformation because his real religion is “pure Islamophobia” and “xenophobia” that “murdered” Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

In response to Vance telling el-Sayed to “keep my wife’s name the hell out of your mouth because she’s way out of your league,” Welch falsely claimed Elon Musk did a Nazi salute on Inauguration Day and then trotted out the claim she cares more about his small children than he does: “We have to reject this brand of politics, and really, listener and viewer, we’re all fighting in these spaces more for JD Vance’s kids and for their future than he is. He’s trying to just extend this rigged system for mediocre white men like himself[.]”

Next, she cartoonishly asserted leftists “have an uphill battle...because all of the media is being purchased by MAGA oligarchs” as evidenced by the CBSNews.com article about el-Sayed’s 9/11 tweets.

Trumpeting the meltdown from Status’s Oliver Darcy, Welch demanded Weiss explain “why are you spiking stories left and right over at 60 Minutes” and insisted Weiss’s wife was “buddy-buddy with Jeffrey Epstein.”

She sounded a lot like someone from Q-Anon: “Why is it that MAGA is always knee-deep in covering for pedophiles?”

Circling back to something from Monday, she proclaimed all el-Sayed wants is “a politics that is more empathetic, inclusive, and accepting” and that Muslims in America are seemingly the lone candidates “running on a platform of universal human rights” whereas “Christian nationalists” in the GOP want to “tak[e] away a rape victim’s right to privacy.”

Curiously, she didn’t mention how Islam views women, particularly on matters such as honor killings (click “expand”):

[A]ll they have left to give you is racism. They are scapegoating Abdul el-Sayed, and the fundamental difference, Bari, between you and Abdul, is one of you is a prostitute. And again, it’s not Abdul el-Sayed. There is nothing radical about not taking corporate money. There is nothing radical about wanting health care for everybody. There is nothing radical about having a politics that is more empathetic, inclusive, and accepting. MAGA is none of those things. The only thing they can offer, the American public right now, is fear-mongering, scare-mongering, xenophobia, and racism, and Islamophobia, and it has worked for a very long time since 9/11. The fundamental difference I see right now is we have a lot of Muslims in America. The Muslims that I see that are running for office are running on a platform of universal human rights. The Christian nationalists that I see running for office? Their pastors are talking about trying to repeal the 19th Amendment. They’re taking away a rape victim’s right to privacy when she goes to the doctors. So, spare all the Islamophobia.

Third, she used the resignation of Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to insist Donald Trump “doesn’t give a shit about the military,” and the GOP also doesn’t “give a shit” about veterans even though they’ve “propagandized us for decades” about the need to “support the troops.”

“They treat veterans like shit, and now it’s worse. Now, they’re treating active military members like shit, firing them, pushing them out, passing them over for promotion because Pete Hegseth has low T, is wildly insecure, and is a sociopath, and an untreated alcoholic narcissist. That’s the truth,” she huffed (again, without evidence).

She urged Democrats to get ugly and tell voters half the country hates those who serve and/or served:

Democrats attack, get your fangs out, it’s bullshit, they are liars, they don’t give a shit about the troops. It’s always been propaganda to make people feel nostalgic about the military and, you know, the United States of America is so badass in these people’s sacrifice. And they do sacrifice, the problem is, once they sacrifice and they get back here, how do the Republicans treat homeless military vets that suffer from PTSD? Over on Fox News, they call for exterminating them.

Finally, Welch reacted to a clip of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) speaking about the Iran war to re-up her hatred of Christianity.

In a Satanic set of comments, Welch said father-daughter dances and talk of purity is “weird-ass shit” and “the sexualization of children,” and proof “Christian nationalism — this sect of Christianity is the weirdest shit on the planet” that’s a sign they supported Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex crimes.

Her evidence? House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and his daughter (click “expand”):

This is the most worthless person on the entire planet. I don’t know that there is a more worthless American than Little Moses Mike Grindr Johnson. He genuinely has power. He is the speaker of the House. And all he does, all day, every day, is — calls Donald Trump and says, “Hey, sir, you know, what do you want me to decide today? What do you want me to defend today?” And let’s just review. Moses, Mike Grindr Johnson tells us how he and the Lord super tight. Big, big Christian. He supports war. He supports pedophilia. He supports crime. He supports corruption. He supports inequality. He supports demonizing the poor. He supports demonizing those of color. He’s the biggest judger on the planet, and that’s even before I get to the fact that the current Speaker of the House of the United States of America went to a purity ball with his 13-year-old daughter, married her, put a ring on her finger, and said, “your virginity is mine until I give it to your husband?’ That’s some weird-ass shit. Who takes their daughter to some ball and talks to her about the virginity being theirs? The Christian nationalism — this sect of Christianity is the weirdest shit on the planet, and the sexualization of children is bizarre, but it makes you understand how dismissive they can be about all of the Jeffrey Epstein stuff.
