Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan are learning that advertisers sometimes notice what audiences see, especially when a podcast segment turns a political assassination into a punchline. More than 20 companies have cut ties with the hosts of “I’ve Had It” after a disturbing discussion about the killing of 31-year-old conservative Charlie Kirk.
During the show’s “Drinking MAGA Tears” episode, Welch and Sullivan read left-wing social media comments about Kirk. One post said, “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.” Welch reportedly burst into laughter after reading it. The hosts then discussed the alleged political background of Tyler Robinson, the man charged with assassinating Kirk, and suggested the shooting involved a “MAGA” or “white” Trump supporter.
Sullivan referred to the alleged shooter as coming from a “super MAGA family,” while Welch said, “He was shot by a MAGA person.” Sullivan then added, “Right, so do with that what you will.” That is a remarkably ugly way to discuss a murdered political opponent, but apparently this was supposed to pass for entertainment.
The backlash grew quickly. According to The Post Millennial, at least 24 companies have either dumped the pair or promised never to advertise with the podcast. Chewy, Honeylove, HexClad, Lola Blankets, Nutrafol, and Cash App were among the prominent companies that severed or disavowed advertising relationships.
“We unequivocally condemn violence in all forms,” Chewy said online. “The comments made by the hosts do not reflect Chewy’s values or what we stand for as a company.” Cash App also said, “We do not condone violence of any kind, and we are no longer sponsors of this podcast.” Boll & Branch said it does not currently advertise with “I’ve Had It” and will not do so in the future.
Other companies reported to have ended or cut off advertising included Zenni Optical, Casper, BetterHelp, Ridge Wallet, Momentous, Ladder, Jones Road Beauty, PAKA, Ember, Ethos, Primal Queen, iRestore, NOBL Travel, and Dupe.com. That is quite a list for a show that apparently thought laughing at a death threat was a sound business strategy.
The hosts initially apologized for joking about “gun violence” and donated money to Everytown, a left-wing gun control group. “It was an insensitive joke, and we should not have laughed. We regret it, and we apologize,” they wrote.
That apology came with a major qualification. In a later video, Welch and Sullivan made clear that they were not apologizing to upset conservatives, telling them to “f*ck all the way off.” Welch also attacked Turning Point USA, mocking the organization over Republican midterm losses while complaining about the backlash against her podcast.
Meanwhile, Welch and Sullivan have continued to receive support from prominent Democrats and allies in the media. They have interviewed former President Barack Obama and former Vice President Kamala Harris. Welch has also appeared as a panelist on CNN’s “NewsNight” with Abby Phillip, and CNN published a profile of the pair in 2025.
When a show treats the death of a conservative activist as comedy, advertisers are entitled to decide that the brand association is not worth the headache. The audience has now seen what the hosts consider an apology, and the companies have made their response known.
Evil.

WTF kind of people are they? No sympathy, no empathy, no caring about their fellow human beings. This is today’s radical left. They only care about themselves and their wacko ideology. Very twisted minds.
Liberals are the most disgusting people especially white liberal women.
