Dozens Of Advertisers Dump Lefty Podcasters Over Disturbing Charlie Kirk Segment
“I’ve Had It” Podcast

Left-wing podcast hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan have been dumped by more than 20 advertisers after a disturbing segment about the assassination of 31-year-old conservative Charlie Kirk aired on an episode of “I’ve Had It.”

The women read a list of leftist social media comments on their “Drinking MAGA Tears” episode, including one post stated, “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.” Welch and Sullivan burst into laughter and then seemed to taunt the deceased and his loved ones by claiming the assassin was part of “MAGA,” or a “white” Trump supporter.

“No comment — other than he was shot by somebody with a super MAGA family,” Sullivan said. Welch responded, “He was shot by a MAGA person.”

“Right, so do with that what you will,” Sullivan added.

Tyler Robinson, the man charged with assassinating Kirk, allegedly wrote leftist messages on the bullet casings and had a trans-identifying boyfriend.

The backlash has prompted a growing list of companies to publicly distance themselves from the podcast, with some explicitly ending sponsorships and others confirming they would no longer advertise with the show. At least 24 companies have dumped the pair, or vowed to never advertise with them, according to The Post Millennial.

Big-name advertisers like Chewy, Honeylove, HexClad, Lola Blankets, Nutrafol, and Cash App have already severed or disavowed their advertising relationships with the podcast.

“We unequivocally condemn violence in all forms,” Chewy said in a post online. “The comments made by the hosts do not reflect Chewy’s values or what we stand for as a company.”

“We do not condone violence of any kind, and we are no longer sponsors of this podcast,” Cash App said.

Another company on the outs with the duo, Boll & Branch, said it does not currently advertise with “I’ve Had It” and will not in the future.

Other companies reported to have ended or cut off advertising relationships with the show include Zenni Optical, Casper, BetterHelp, Ridge Wallet, Momentous, Ladder, Jones Road Beauty, PAKA, Ember, Ethos, Primal Queen, iRestore, NOBL Travel, and Dupe.com.

At first, the hosts apologized about joking about “gun violence,” and gave money to Left-wing gun control group Everytown. “It was an insensitive joke, and we should not have laughed. We regret it, and we apologize,” they wrote.

In a subsequent video, the duo made clear their apology was not for upset conservatives, who they told to “f*ck all the way off.” They also targeted Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA, mocking them over the midterm losses suffered by the GOP.

Notably, the hosts have been embraced by mainstream Democrats and their allies in the media. Welch and Sullivan have interviewed prominent Democrats, including former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris, for example. Moreover, Welch has appeared as a panelist on CNN’s “NewsNight” with Abby Phillip, and the network published a profile of the podcast pair in 2025.
