Lefty podcaster Jennifer Welch says Republicans’ military support is ‘performative’ as war in Iran continues
NY Post
Jennifer Welch on a Wednesday episode of the “I’ve Had It” podcast accused President Donald Trump and the Republican Party of treating support for the U.S. troops as “performative,” while discussing the possibility of American boots being on the ground in Iran.
“But what he has exposed is that the Republican Party’s support for the military and for the troops has always been performative,” Welch said. “They fund the bombs. They fund the war. They never fund the soldier.”
“And let’s not kid ourselves. If there are boots on the ground, they will be American boots. They will be American soldiers.”
The comments came during a segment titled, “Trump THREATENS US SOLDIERS with Boots on the Ground, RISKING Their Lives for ISRAEL?” in which Welch and her co-host, Angie Sullivan, criticized Trump’s posture on Iran, Republican national security politics and the possibility of a broader U.S. military role in the conflict.
“I want my president to be afraid. I want him to be afraid of loss of life… people going hungry, people not receiving medicine.”

Bombshell rape accusations against revered labor leader Cesar Chavez were revealed on Wednesday, a day after celebrations in his name were canceled across California. A report from the New York Times detailed accounts from multiple women, two of whom said they were children when Chavez began sexually abusing them.
