The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh sent a message to conservatives who are calling for an end to the fight “against gender ideology and the ‘Pride’ movement,” telling them to focus on the issues they care about.
Walsh tweeted a lengthy response Tuesday to complaints he said have come from conservatives that it’s time to move on from fighting gender ideology and “focus on something else.”
“We’re actually making significant headway but they want us to move on because they’re bored or more likely jealous that people aren’t paying more attention to them,” Walsh tweeted to his 2.1 million followers.
It’s popular for other conservatives to complain that those of us fighting against gender ideology and the “Pride” movement should focus on something else. We’re actually making significant headway but they want us to move on because they’re bored or more likely jealous that…

“Here’s an idea. If there’s another issue that you care deeply about and want to mobilize people around, go do it,” he added. “Put the work in and rally people to your cause. It took us years to get the public to really care about gender ideology. Now we’ve succeeded and you’re bitter. Stop expecting us to do your work for you.”

He then wrote that a “healthy conservative movement would look at those who’ve succeeded in this step and try to learn from them.”
However, he said that “modern conservatism” falls into the other category, the “unhealthy one.”

One he said that “looks with envy and resentment at its own most effective advocates and tries to tear them down as punishment for being successful. In conclusion, I say again: go do the thing you want done.”
The message was similar Walsh’s message to the GOP establishment in April when he explained why calls to end the boycott against Anheuser-Busch after Bud Light’s partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney was wrong.
On the “The Matt Walsh Show” podcast, the host provided a brutal assessment of the Republican establishment, who he said was giving an assist to the beer company by telling conservatives to back down from the boycott over fears that it could stop the flow of donor cash to the GOP.
“That’s how the total denial of biological reality became mainstream,” the podcast host said. “And seized hold of our society. It happened because the conservative ‘leadership’ task with defending our country against evils like gender ideology abdicated their responsibility.”
