Podcaster Jennifer Welch has hit out at voters who enable Donald Trump’s anti-immigration, anti-diversity agenda - yet also benefit from businesses operated by the very people who are most vulnerable to the president’s policies.

In a blistering, foul-mouthed tirade on the I’ve Had It podcast, which she co-hosts with Angie “Pump” Sullivan, Welch criticized the “nerve and audacity” of white consumers who, for example, patronize restaurants that may be immigrant-run, despite voting for Trump in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections.

Trump admin targets DEI, migrants

Since he returned as U.S. president in January, Trump has issued a series of executive orders aimed at rolling back diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in America.

The 79-year-old’s administration has also aggressively targeted migrants for deportation, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents carrying out regular raids nationwide. Indeed, ICE officers have been accused by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of targeting people in public spaces “on the basis of their skin color”.

“I have fucking had it from top to bottom”

Speaking on I’ve Had It this week, Welch said: “I’ve had it with white people that ‘triple-Trumped’, that have the nerve and the audacity to walk into a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, go to perhaps their gay hairdresser. I don’t think you should be able to enjoy anything but [the Southern-themed, traditional U.S. restaurant chain] Cracker Barrel.”

Appearing to reference President Trump’s May 2024 conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, Welch continued:

If you want to ‘triple-Trump’ and you want to browbeat DEI, and you want to browbeat gay people and you want to browbeat Black people as you’ve been doing for 400 years, and you want to browbeat this generation of immigrants that come over here and open up businesses and earnestly pay their taxes...

“If you want to demonize them and call them rapists and felons and all this shit, [you are doing so] when the felon is the teeny-weeny, mushroom-cock, piece-of-shit ‘cankles McTaco tits’ at the top of the ticket.”

She added: “I have fucking had it from top to bottom. White people that ‘triple-Trump’ should be banned, boycotted from enjoying the best thing that America has to offer, which is multiculturalism.

"Get your fat asses out of the Mexican restaurant and get your fat asses over to Cracker Barrel."

Watch the full conversation:

Per statistics compiled by Pew Research Center, a majority of white voters favored Trump in each of the 2016, 2020 and 2024 elections. He was chosen by 55% of white voters in 2020 and 2024, and by 54% nine years ago.

Among non-white ethnicities, Trump has never breached the 50% barrier - although it should be noted that he came close in 2024.

As many as 48% of Hispanic voters chose the real estate mogul-turned-politician over the Democratic candidate, then-vice-president Kamala Harris.
