Daily Wire investigative reporter Spencer Lindquist took home a 2025 Media Research Center Bulldog Award for excellence in conservative media.
The Media Research Center (MRC) presents the <a href="https://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nb-staff/2025/05/06/mrc-announces-fourth-annual-bulldog-award-winners-sowell-musk-kelly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bulldog Awards</a> to conservative journalists, columnists, and podcast hosts each year as an alternative to the left-leaning Pulitzer Prize. Lindquist received the MRC Bulldog Award for Outstanding Blogger for his reporting on Colony Ridge, a housing development in Texas that advertises to illegal immigrants and has become a hotbed of illegal alien crime.
Lindquist has “documented rising crime in the greater Colony Ridge area, including a child abduction, drug overdoses, drug trafficking, drunk driving, murders, and hideouts for criminal illegal immigrants,” the MRC announced this week.
“Despite that, Lindquist reported that developers view mass immigration as a business opportunity, including the systematic targeting of illegal immigrants by allowing them to purchase land without a Social Security number.”
The MRC further notes that “thanks to Lindquist’s reporting, Colony Ridge has been put squarely in the crosshairs of the Trump administration, including immigration operations that have nabbed over 100 illegal aliens and MS-13 gang members.”
Other Bulldog Award recipients this year include the economist Thomas Sowell, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award; Elon Musk, who was named Outstanding Social Media Personality; the Wall Street Journal’s Kimberly Strassel, Outstanding Columnist; and CNN contributor Scott Jennings, who was honored for Outstanding Achievement Behind Enemy Lines.
Beyond Colony Ridge, Lindquist has reported on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/baltimore-judge-gets-in-the-way-of-another-trump-gang-member-deportation?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=10&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Baltimore+Judge+Gets+In+The+Way+Of+Another+Trump+Gang+Member+Deportation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">judicial efforts</a> to stymie the Trump administration’s immigration policies and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/california-nearly-freed-a-twice-deported-illegal-alien-drunk-driver-now-newsom-is-backtracking?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=12&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=California+Nearly+Freed+A+Twice-Deported+Illegal+Alien+Drunk+Driver+%E2%80%94+Now+Newsom+Is+Backtracking" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cataloged</a> instances of illegal immigrant crime. Just this week, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-trump-dhs-partners-with-100s-of-police-departments-to-supercharge-deportation-campaign?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=EXCLUSIVE%3A+Trump+Makes+Move+To+Super-Charge+Deportations+Using+Local+Cops" target="_blank" rel="noopener">broke the news</a> that the Trump administration was deputizing local law enforcement agencies to carry out certain ICE duties, including deportations.
Outside of immigration, Lindquist has also reported extensively on the transgender lobby and left-wing environmental policies, among other issues.
“As trust in left-wing media continues to collapse, independent news sources featuring fearless truth-tellers are on the rise,” MRC Vice President for Research and Publications Brent Baker said. “This year’s MRC Bulldog winners are replacing discredited leftists who claim to report the news, yet failed the American people when it came to stories like the Russiagate scandal and Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.&#8221;
Lindquist joins a number of his Daily Wire colleagues in the ranks of MRC Bulldog Award winners. Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro and host Matt Walsh have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-daily-wires-ben-shapiro-and-kassy-akiva-win-conservative-media-awards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">each received</a> the Outstanding Podcast Award. Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan and video journalist Kassy Akiva have previously been named Outstanding Blogger. And Daily Wire investigative reporter Luke Rosiak was the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daily-wires-luke-rosiak-wins-award-for-outstanding-investigative-journalist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first-ever recipient</a> of the MRC’s Bulldog Award for Outstanding Investigative Journalist.

You knew it was coming. You woke up and the sun seemed a little brighter.
The birds are singing. Planes are flying — mostly full of gang members headed to their new, secure home in El Salvador. Yes, things are returning to normal.
It’s Norming in America.
So go ahead, touch some grass. As Ben Shapiro likes to say, “The era of weird is over and the era of the normie is back.”
And to celebrate Norming in America, we put together this neat video for you.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="It&#039;s Norming in America." width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P-V3aL9MxtA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Today, we’re actually arresting shoplifters and fewer businesses are being burned down. All over America, pronouns are being dropped from bios. Men are (still) not having babies. And fewer drag queens are flashing their genitals at children.
What is Norming in America, you ask? Easy.
It’s the return of the word &#8220;illegal.&#8221; It’s Tom Homan on CNN citing chapter and verse of America’s legal code.
It’s leaving &#8220;wokeness and weakness&#8221; behind at the Pentagon. And it’s the sound of federal employees scattering as “Big Balls” from DOGE enters the building.
It’s the return of the Easter Bunny to the White House lawn instead of the trans guy flashing his chest for the camera.
It’s a press secretary who makes sense when she speaks. And it’s trying to keep up with a president who only needs three hours of sleep to make it through the day compared to a president who needed three naps.
It’s the return of biological reality and the removal of men from women’s sports and female prisons.
It’s America feeling like America again.
So join us, and let’s never go back to those weird, angry, divisive times again.

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daughters-of-the-american-revolution-chapter-is-fighting-to-keep-men-out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daughters of the American Revolution</a> National Board of Management on Saturday rejected a proposal from its Texas chapter to keep trans-identifying men out of the group.
In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=122126401004407101&amp;set=gm.1792407311544493&amp;idorvanity=1659132851538607">letter</a> to the Martha Laird Chapter, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daughters-of-the-american-revolution-board-to-vote-to-keep-trans-identifying-men-out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DAR National Board of Management</a>, said it “found the proposed amendment” to prohibit all men, including trans-identifying males, from the group &#8220;not to be suitable for inclusion in the bylaws and not to be in the best interest of the Society.”
“The board rejected the proposed amendments in their entirety. The proposed amendments will not be forwarded to the 134th Continental Congress,” it added, noting it will continue to allow “state-certified birth certificates” and not base membership on “chromosomal DNA tests to establish an applicant&#8217;s sex.”
Daily Wire host Michael Knowles<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michael-knowles-exposes-transgender-attempt-to-infiltrate-daughters-of-american-revolution"> revealed</a> — in a viral thread on <a href="https://x.com/michaeljknowles/status/1838267625962405922">X</a> — how a group of DAR members were “channeling the rebellious spirit of their forebears” by fighting back “this time building a larger, grassroots effort to affirm the original intent of the bylaws and prevent men from continuing to invade their genealogical society.”
The Daily Wire spoke to Martha Laird Chapter Recording Secretary Laura McDonald after the vote, and she said the chapter was “disappointed but not discouraged.”
“The rejection of our proposal to define a woman in our bylaws from the National Board of Management sadly confirms what we knew all along. That is a political stance the leadership is taking,” McDonald said.
“We have another proposal ready, and our chapter will vote at our next meeting in March,” she added. “The language of the new proposal will be slightly tweaked to accommodate the concerns the NBM addressed in their rejection letter.”
“We are looking forward to this process again in the coming year. Our goal is to restore our iconic, historic and once prestigious American institution founded by women, for women, and we intend to see it through,” McDonald continued.
In January, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas">Texas</a> chapter decided to fight back against its national organization’s decision to allow trans-identifying males into their organization, as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daughters-of-the-american-revolution-chapter-is-fighting-to-keep-men-out">reported</a>.
In a letter, the chapter pushed back against a threat from its leadership that by prohibiting transgender males, the DAR would somehow lose its tax-exempt status, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/texas-daughters-american-revolution-chapter-challenges-premise-must-admit-transgender-members">Fox News</a> reported.
“Members have been told that in order to keep our nonprofit status we must allow men who submit an altered birth certificate indicating they are female to be eligible members,” a letter on the DAR <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1659132851538607/permalink/1776056659846225/?mibextid=wwXIfr&amp;_rdr">Facebook</a> page read. “Our hope is that once members and the NBM can feel confident that our nonprofit status is not in jeopardy, they will no longer feel intimidated and vote to allow this bylaw amendment to be heard at Continental Congress.”
The vote comes after President Donald Trump signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/">executive order</a> stating that the United States will only recognize two genders.

For the past decade, one issue has confronted our country like no other. And for one decade, The Daily Wire stood at the forefront of the fight, refusing to bow to cultural pressure — even when the cost was enormous.
As our society embraced the transgender delusion and pushed it onto innocent children, we did what others wouldn’t. We told the truth. We fought back. And because of you — our readers, subscribers, and supporters — we won.
This week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled &#8220;Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation,&#8221; banning these horrific procedures on minors.
This moment didn’t just happen — it was won through years of relentless fighting.
<h3>&#8220;You Can Have the World — If You Sell Your Soul&#8221;</h3>
In a town hall reflecting on this victory, Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing told the story of how close we came to a very different future.
In 2019, as The Daily Wire was gaining major traction, a big Hollywood talent agency came knocking. They saw our success and wanted in—with one condition: &#8220;You can talk about abortion. You can talk about small government. But you have to drop the trans issue.&#8221;
We said no.
&#8220;Essentially, we were being told, ‘You can have the world, and it will only cost you your soul.’ … We chose our souls,&#8221; Boreing said.
And that choice was only possible because of you.
<h3>Your Support Let Us Fight Back</h3>
For years, we led this battle like no one else:

Our fight didn’t stop at journalism. We took action.
In 2022, Harry’s Razors pulled their ads from The Daily Wire because we refused to accept their radical gender ideology. Instead of backing down, we built something better.
We launched <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/pages/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeremy’s Razors</a> — a razor brand that stands for truth, not woke nonsense. It wasn’t just a middle finger to woke corporations — it was a statement: We don’t need you. We have our audience. We have our people.
And you proved us right.
Jeremy’s Razors became a massive success, bringing in $20 million in revenue last year — all because you stood with us.
Then, in 2023, Hershey’s decided to celebrate Women’s History Month … with a man.

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/ben-shapiro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a> absolutely torched former President Joe Biden as his helicopter lifted up and finally flew away from Washington, D.C. 
In a post on <a href="https://x.com/realDailyWire/status/1881408765439996407">X</a> from The Daily Wire’s coverage of Trump’s historic <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-isnt-politics-rapper-nelly-defends-decision-to-perform-at-trumps-inaugural-ball" target="_blank" rel="noopener">inauguration</a>, Shapiro was joined by fellow Daily Wire hosts Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan as the panel watched and waved goodbye to Biden following his departure from Trump’s second inauguration ceremony where he once again was sworn-in as President of the United States.

The video started out with a two-shot of Biden’s helicopter taking off from the Capitol in one shot, and the panel of DW hosts in the other.
Michael Knowles waved and said, simply, “See ya.&#8221; But it was Shapiro who had the line of the day with his farewell to Biden. 
&#8220;Wow, the last time a helicopter took off from this kind of a disaster was Vietnam,” the DW host said.

Knowles shared a smiling selfie from D.C. and captioned his <a href="https://x.com/michaeljknowles/status/1881410089820778568">post</a>, “Bye, Joe!”
Shapiro <a href="https://x.com/benshapiro/status/1881346901314011391">wrote</a>, “Today ends the darkness of the failed Biden era. The dawn is here. <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/Trump2?src=hashtag_click">#Trump2</a>.”
The Daily Wire&#8217;s co-founder Jeremy Boreing <a href="https://x.com/JeremyDBoreing/status/1881335220093522350">said</a> that the “next four years are ours to seize. Seize them!”
“Today America starts the messy work of retiring at last the Obama Era,” Boreing wrote. “I say messy, because this isn&#8217;t going to be some light switch flip to utopia. Politics is not clean and simple.”
“Battles are won, but the war never ends,” he added. “There will be failures, compromises, and disappointments — and many new challenges we must face when today&#8217;s are overcome.  Donald Trump, like any Republican leader, will be a mixed bag.” 
“But you know who wouldn&#8217;t have been a mixed bag? Kamala Harris,” Boreing continued. She was just a bag. Trump&#8217;s victory alone is a deep blow to Obama&#8217;s legacy. And his victories, while they will not be absolute or perfect, are just beginning. He comes to office clearly energized, having learned from the successes and failures (and unrelenting attacks) of the last eight years. “

Mary Margaret Olohan will serve as The Daily Wire’s White House Correspondent, Daily Wire co-CEO Jeremy Boreing announced live from Washington, D.C., today.
Olohan, currently a senior reporter at The Daily Wire, will have access to the White House briefing room and grounds on day one of Trump’s second term in office. 
“Mary Margaret has been a fearless voice in the culture war, and a powerhouse in breaking stories that matter,” Boreing said. “We’re proud to have her covering the White House, reaffirming The Daily Wire’s continued dedication to giving its audience the news they deserve with bold reporting straight from the center of power in Washington.”
&#8220;It&#8217;s an honor to be The Daily Wire&#8217;s new White House correspondent,&#8221; Olohan said Monday during The Daily Wire&#8217;s live Inauguration Day coverage. &#8220;I&#8217;m very excited to bring the news to our viewers.&#8221;

Olohan’s appointment comes at a time when “new media” has become more valuable than ever. The Daily Wire is on the forefront of that revolution, bolstered by its monthly network reach of 220 million, chart-topping podcasts, election night coverage that racked up 10 million views, and a record of leading the news cycle with exclusive investigative reporting on hot-button issues, like the recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-fema-official-ordered-relief-workers-to-skip-houses-with-trump-signs?topStoryPosition=1">FEMA scandal</a> that was uncovered in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

Trump joined <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2062-member-exclusive">The Ben Shapiro Show</a> in October of last year. Now, ahead of Trump’s return to the highest office in the land, his team and inner circle have even hinted at reworking the briefing room seating arrangement to make way for new media and podcasters to potentially replace some of the standard legacy media positions, as Donald Trump Jr. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-donald-trump-jr-says-his-dad-may-remove-mainstream-media-from-press-room">revealed to Michael Knowles on “Triggered with Donald Trump Jr.”</a>. 
Olohan spoke about The Daily Wire&#8217;s role in the new media revolution on Monday.
&#8220;After the last four years, I think it&#8217;s more clear than ever that new media is so important,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We belong in the briefing room. We need to be bringing the American public these stories, and sharing with them the truth that legacy media has no intention of ever sharing with them.&#8221;

Daily Wire Names Mary Margaret Olohan White House Correspondent

White House

Far-Left MSNBC host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joy-reid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Reid</a> falsely claimed Wednesday night that Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro was funded by an oligarch.
During MSNBC’s coverage of President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>’s farewell address, Reid claimed that Shapiro and other conservatives were being propped up by a hidden group of wealthy oligarchs. Reid made the comment after Biden used his speech to claim that there was a rising American “oligarchy” endangering the country.
“And these oligarchs, they’ve always been there. Who do you think was paying for, you know Rush Limbaugh? He was a very wealthy man. Fox is owned by an oligarch. Who do they think is funding the Ben Shapiro [Show] and other podcasts?” Reid claimed. 
“The oligarchy has been hidden in the background the whole time and Biden is this pivot president as America is hurtling toward sort of falling in love with these rich tech gods, these tech bros,” Reid added, seeming to take a shot at Trump ally Elon Musk, who is promising to bring reform to the government. 
Reid was mocked online for the claim, including by Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing, who pointed out Shapiro helped to create The Daily Wire, which generated over $200 million in revenue last year.  
“In which Joy Reid &#8211; who reportedly makes over $3M a year &#8211; claims Ben Shapiro is funded by an oligarch when, in fact, the company he helped create generated well over $200M last year in advertising and subscription revenue (plus a few razor sales!),” he said. “Joy Reid lives in such a bubble she doesn&#8217;t know there is an actual audience for conservative ideas, and she is so economically illiterate she doesn&#8217;t know how value is created.”

“Daily Wire creates value, and we&#8217;re always working to create more,” he added. “Still, if there are any oligarchs out there who would like to fund us, I can only say we may not be very good, but we&#8217;re real expensive…”

Reid made her claims when reacting to Biden&#8217;s assertions that the United States was being taken over by an “oligarchy.” 
“Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power, and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead,” Biden <a href="https://www.kshb.com/politics/the-president/biden-says-oligarchy-is-taking-shape-in-america-in-farewell-speech">claimed</a>. “We see the consequences all across America. And we’ve seen it before, more than a century ago.”

Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” — the prequel to the hugely popular 2019 live-action remake  “Lion King” — struggled at the holiday box office on its opening weekend, falling to Paramount’s “Sonic” sequel.
Coming in second place behind “Sonic The Hedgehog 3” was the highly anticipated backstory to the “Lion King,” which made $35 million at the domestic box office, falling well behind its pre-release expectations of $50 million, <a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/news/box-office-sonic-the-hedgehog-3-starts-strong-mufasa-lion-king-misfires-opening-weekend-1236257432/">Variety</a> noted. It comes after Disney spent more than $200 million to make the film and another $100 million in worldwide promotions. 
“Sonic,” on the other hand, earned a total of $62 million from moviegoers — and cost $122 million to make — according to the <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/h/charts/">Hollywood Reporter.</a> 
“As we’ve seen this franchise’s audience grow, we saw a window in the marketplace in December where we thought we could stand out,” Paramount’s president of domestic distribution Chris Aronson said. “We’ve been able to accomplish that. ‘Sonic’ is going to dominate through the holidays.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
“Mufasa” is projected for a $35 million opening weekend, which would mark a profound decline from the $191 million domestic debut of its 2019 predecessor. <a href="https://t.co/Xbf15uPj7N">https://t.co/Xbf15uPj7N</a> <a href="https://t.co/cvxrRkfIoT">pic.twitter.com/cvxrRkfIoT</a>

“Mufasa” also struggled globally, earning $87 million after being projected to earn well over $120 million, Variety noted. In comparison, the 2019 “Lion King” had a domestic opening weekend of $191 million, per <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl3321923073/weekend/?ref_=bo_tt_gr#table">Box Office Mojo</a>. 
Taking over third place was Universal’s “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/wicked">Wicked</a>,” which has made $383.9 million since it opened before Thanksgiving holiday.
Disney also occupies the fourth spot at the box office with the sequel to “Moana,” earning another $13 million to bring the total to $359 million at the domestic box office.
Rounding out the fifth spot in the top 5 comes the apocalyptic thriller “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/studio-behind-sound-of-freedom-ready-to-release-new-apocalyptic-film-tv-series-homestead">Homestead</a>” from Angel Studios” — the same studio that brought the sleeper hit “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sound-of-freedom">Sound Of Freedom</a>” to the big screen in 2022. “Homestead” earned $6 million over the film’s opening weekend, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/h/charts/">THR noted</a>.
Some have suggested the poor showing for “Mufasa” could be a sign of things to come for future live-action adaptations from Disney and could signal trouble ahead for its upcoming live action “Snow White,&#8221; Variety noted.
The star of “Snow White” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disneys-snow-white-star-slammed-as-she-continues-bashing-original-film-in-another-resurfaced-video">Rachel Zegler</a>, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-says-live-action-snow-white-will-be-delayed-one-year-just-weeks-after-backlash-to-lead-actress-bashing-original-film">vocal left-wing activist</a>, made headlines — and faced backlash — after she described the prince as a “stalker” and made it clear the live-action story she was part of would have nothing in common with the “weird” original love story from 1937.
Months later in an interview for <a href="https://x.com/realDailyWire/status/1734342385721844037">Variety</a> with fellow Disney actress Halle Bailey, Zegler appeared to sing a different tune when she gushed over the original “Snow White” as “a monumental moment in film history,” and said she “loves everything the Disney company has put out” since its inception.
Following Zegler’s remarks bashing the original film, The Daily Wire’s kids entertainment company <a href="https://get.dailywire.com/?utm_campaign=dwplus&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_source=googlesearch&amp;utm_content=na_subscriptions&amp;mid=g&amp;cid=dailywire&amp;xid=0&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAudG5BhAREiwAWMlSjDtFJvH0hNmWFWoNpN27XnORbr00zIj739tvZaCKUXcX1pwQuB2CnBoCehsQAvD_BwE">Bentkey</a> announced it would make a live-action film titled “Snow White and the Evil Queen,” starring YouTube sensation Brett Cooper.

Disney’s “Snow White” actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rachel-zegler">Rachel Zegler</a> called on people to leave the social media platform X and attacked voters who picked President-elect Donald Trump.
In a series of <a href="https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1856779822682574854">posts</a> that were screenshotted from her <a href="https://x.com/mynerdyhome/status/1856622409941446785">Instagram Stories</a>, the 23-year-old actress bemoaned the results of the 2024 election and Vice President Kamala Harris’ defeat before she lashed out at what she said would be “four years of hatred.”
“I shouldn’t be this shocked, but I am,” Zegler wrote in the screenshot. “I am heartbroken for my friends who awoke fear this morning … this loss should not have been by so many votes.”
“I echo Ethel Cain’s statement more than anything, may Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace,” she added, calling it “absolutely terrifying the number of people who stand behind” Trump.

“It is a foolish subscription to a false sense of security, of masculinity, of intelligence, of patriotism, and of humanity,” the actress continued. “There is no help, no counsel in any of them.”
She then called on people to get off Elon Musk’s app, because he “helped get that man [Trump] elected and you’re giving him business.” Zelger closed out her rant by calling on her followers to focus now on their Democrat Governors and then wrote, “F**k Donald Trump.”
Zegler, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-says-live-action-snow-white-will-be-delayed-one-year-just-weeks-after-backlash-to-lead-actress-bashing-original-film">vocal left-wing activist</a>, made headlines last year when she faced a backlash over her feminist complaints about the 1937 animated film “Snow White” following news about her taking on the lead role in the remake of the classic Disney film.
Months later in an interview for <a href="https://x.com/realDailyWire/status/1734342385721844037">Variety</a> with fellow Disney actress Halle Bailey, Zegler appeared to sing a different tune when she gushed over the original “Snow White” as “a monumental moment in film history.”
“The cartoon is so beloved — it’s like a monumental moment in film history. It’s the first feature-length cartoon movie, to the point where it won honorary Oscars, and all these amazing things that happened for that film are the reason that you and I get to sit here today, because it made Disney what it is,” Zegler told Bailey, who starred as Ariel in the live-action version of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid.”
The actress went on to veer away from her past comment, saying she “loves everything the Disney company has put out” since its inception.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disneys-snow-white-star-slammed-as-she-continues-bashing-original-film-in-another-resurfaced-video">Zegler</a> previously slammed the original story, describing the prince as a “stalker” and made it clear the live-action story she was part of would have nothing in common with the “weird” original 1937 love story.

A North Carolina Republican is attacking his Democratic opponent using a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-video-shows-dem-ag-candidate-hugging-convicted-sex-offender-after-receiving-lgbtq-award">Daily Wire story</a> that exposed Rep. Jeff Jackson hugging a convicted sex offender after receiving an LGBTQ award in 2022.
The ad is the latest development in Dan Bishop and Jackson&#8217;s contentious and high-profile race to be the state’s next attorney general. Bishop&#8217;s team is releasing the ad as part of a seven-figure statewide media buy in all major markets, The Daily Wire has learned.
&#8220;Child molester Chad Turner became one of Charlotte&#8217;s most notorious sex offenders,&#8221; the ad&#8217;s narrator says over a video of Jackson hugging Turner, first reported by The Daily Wire this month. &#8220;A few years later, Jeff Jackson accepted an award from him, and embraced Chad Turner.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
NEW: Dan Bishop&#8217;s team is launching this ad statewide today, based on our <a href="https://twitter.com/realDailyWire?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@realDailyWire</a> report showing Jeff Jackson hugging a convicted sex offender in 2022 after receiving an LGBTQ award. Ad depicts women reacting to the hug between Jackson and &#8220;child molester Chad Turner.&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/M8aryfNqLh">pic.twitter.com/M8aryfNqLh</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> 
The ad then shows women watching the video of Jackson, reacting with comments such as, &#8220;This is wrong,&#8221; &#8220;everyone knew about this guy,&#8221; and &#8220;how could a mom of any child trust Jeff Jackson?&#8221;
&#8220;When it deals with children, there are no words,&#8221; says one of the women featured in the advertisement.
&#8220;I voted for Democrats before,&#8221; says a final woman. &#8220;I can&#8217;t vote for Jeff Jackson.&#8221;
“We frankly don’t know why Jeff Jackson embraced and accepted an award from a notorious sex offender,&#8221; a Bishop campaign spokesman told The Daily Wire. &#8220;It defies belief that Jackson somehow didn’t know – Chad Turner’s past has been a point of media and political controversy for nearly a decade.&#8221;
&#8220;Jeff Jackson likes to say in campaign ads he’s a ‘normal person.’ Sure, he seems pretty normal – aside from accepting awards from sex offenders at glitzy galas,&#8221; he added.
The Daily Wire published footage on Oct. 10 showing the December 13, 2022, Carolinas LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce event where Jackson praised the work of LGBTQ activists on stage before embracing Turner, a registered sex offender and CEO of the Charlotte LGBT Chamber of Commerce.
Turner, who has not responded to requests for comment from The Daily Wire, <a href="https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/nc-bathroom-bill-opposition-leader-a-sex-offender/">was charged</a> with three cases of lewd acts on minors under the age of 16. He accused the boys of lying, but authorities sentenced him to 10 years in prison after convicting him in July 2000 of fondling a 15-year-old boy.
He only served two years of this sentence, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13093009/Powerful-LGBTQ-advocacy-group-Human-Rights-Campaign-welcomes-man-know-convicted-PEDOPHILE-gala-previously-handing-prestigious-award.html">according to the Daily Mail,</a> but remains a registered sex offender under the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry.
A Jackson spokesman previously told The Daily Wire that the congressman “did not know about an individual’s status,” and was simply given an award by a “local chamber of commerce for supporting economic development.” Jackson’s office did not say whether the congressman would return the award, or continue to work with the organization.
But Tami Fitzgerald, the executive director of the North Carolina Values Coalition, argued earlier this month that Jackson would certainly have known who Turner was, saying that his background was “common knowledge&#8221; in North Carolina political circles.
“This was common knowledge at the legislature, where Jackson served and carried water for Turner’s issues,” Fitzgerald told The Daily Wire. “It was also common knowledge and received widespread media attention in Jackson and Turner’s hometown of Charlotte. It is inconceivable that Jeff Jackson did not know.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/michael-j-knowles">Michael Knowles</a> went viral after he exposed how a group of transgender activists have attempted to infiltrate the historic female group Daughters of the American Revolution [DAR] in what he called the &#8220;most absurd target yet&#8221; for leftist activists.
In a lengthy thread on <a href="https://x.com/michaeljknowles/status/1838267625962405922" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X</a> on Monday, the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.dailywire.com/author/michael-j-knowles&amp;sa=D&amp;source=docs&amp;ust=1727217761828995&amp;usg=AOvVaw3jJn-WOm-9-nPCoQMFGvPs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Wire host</a> wrote about how “sexually confused men are invading yet another women’s group,” this time the DAR. 
“It&#8217;s perhaps their most absurd target yet: a group grounded in genetics … Happily, members are channeling the rebellious spirit of their forebears and fighting back,&#8221; Knowles wrote in the post that&#8217;s been viewed a million times. &#8220;DAR bylaws have always been clear. It’s for the daughters — female descendants — of Revolutionary patriots. As a genealogical organization, DAR takes biological integrity so seriously that only biological descendants — i.e., not adopted family members — are eligible for membership.&#8221;

“A small group of the DAR’s leadership now appears to believe that men can be women,” he added. “They even contend that such men have always been allowed in the DAR. According to an internal FAQ document, members are expected to pretend that ‘transgender women’ have always been eligible and that their inclusion took place &#8216;organically,&#8217; as if implicit in bylaws written before &#8216;transgenderism&#8217; was even thought to exist.”
“Multiple DAR members reached out to the Daily Wire with concerns about being prevented from even criticizing the potential policy change. One cited an alleged policy on ‘circularization’ that she felt discouraged members from alerting media or organizing opposition via email,” Knowles continued.
He also provided examples of the attempts some in the group had made to stop these men, but so far, their efforts have been thwarted after a proposed amendment to “the bylaws to clarify the definition of &#8216;woman'&#8221; was rejected.

The Daily Wire host noted that the Sons of the American Revolution [SAR] exists, but how “these men don’t want to join&#8221; the group. &#8220;They want to pretend they aren’t sons at all. They pretend to be women and demand that women welcome them into a private women’s membership club. It&#8217;s disordered and immoral.”
The thread noted that a group of daughters haven&#8217;t given up the fight, &#8220;this time building a larger, grassroots effort to affirm the original intent of the bylaws and prevent men from continuing to invade their genealogical society,” Knowles wrote. &#8220;Chapters have until October 1 to protect the DAR from trans infiltration by endorsing a proposal to amend the bylaws. So far, over 50 chapters have indicated their plan to support. Members can reach out to dar33club@gmail.com for more information.”
“If successful, the Board of Management will be forced to respond by February,” Knowles continued. “With the strong objection of a growing number of chapters nationwide, it will only become more difficult for leadership to push this radical agenda. We’ll be watching.”
Reading through comments to Knowles’ thread, several people blasted DAR for the move &#8212; the host of &#8220;The Megyn Kelly Show&#8221; podcast, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly">Megyn Kelly</a>, being one of them.
