Podcaster Jennifer Welch urged listeners to keep 'pistols firing' toward Vice President JD Vance and defeat him in 2028.

Podcaster Jennifer Welch called for the defeat of Vice President JD Vance during a recent segment on her 'I've Had It' podcast, urging listeners to keep 'pistols firing' toward him. The remarks drew criticism on social media on Tuesday.

Welch condemned Vance, arguing that during his 'woke era' he married Indian American second lady Usha Vance and had children, but now views his family as a burden as he positions himself as President Donald Trump's successor in the MAGA movement. She described Vance as 'a complete antichrist-style sociopath' and said he is 'not fit to be a father', 'not fit to be a husband' and 'not fit to be a vice president'. She also called him 'a failed drag queen and a pathological liar to his core'. Welch questioned the influence of billionaire megadonor Peter Thiel, who has long supported Vance.

Welch concluded by encouraging listeners to defeat Vance at the polls. The segment was widely shared on social media and drew criticism from commentators. Political rhetoric invoking violence, even metaphorically, has faced heightened scrutiny following assassination attempts against President Trump and the 2025 killing of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk.
