The backlash against two left-wing podcast personalities is growing after they laughed at a disturbing joke about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, triggering a corporate exodus that reportedly involves at least 16 brands.
Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan, co-hosts of the podcast I’ve Had It, initially appeared to have no reservations about making light of Kirk’s assassination. But after a recording of their on-air reaction spread across social media, several companies quickly distanced themselves from the show.
What followed was an extraordinary reversal. The hosts issued an apology, sponsors began pulling their support, and Welch subsequently launched another attack against Turning Point USA, the very organization founded by the man whose death had become the subject of their laughter.
For Kirk’s widow, Erika, and their two young children, the controversy is particularly difficult to ignore.
