Podcaster Jennifer Welch Sees Red as White

One of the hallmarks of the radical left is that their political philosophy is founded on theories and surrealities – beliefs over facts. In other words, nonsense over common sense. They believe that gender is a matter of social decision, not science. And ethnicity does not exist. African Americans do not have to come from Africa – and many who do cannot be considered African Americans. Women can compete equally with “men” in women’s sports. Pronouns have no meaning. Developing human beings are not human. Male genes are toxic, etc., etc., etc.

In more recent years, those on the left have divided the world into two conflicting camps – people of color (even though there is no such common people with a common culture) and European White folks – excluding Spaniards, I assume.

That is where Jennifer Welch comes in – with her extreme views on “whiteness” and… not “whiteness.” She sees that distinction as the difference between “bad” (White people) and “good” (everyone else).

Welch, co‑host of the podcast I’ve Had It, has carved out a niche for herself as a sort of boutique‑brand political scold. She’s not a scholar, not a historian, not a sociologist — but she plays all of the above on the Internet. Her background is in interior design, which is perfectly respectable but hardly the training ground for redefining the racial categories of 330 million Americans. Yet there she is, lecturing the nation on who counts as “White,” who counts as not White — a person of color.

Here is where logic and science go off the rails. Welch argues that anyone of color – Blacks, Hispanics. Asians and Native Americans — who agree with Trump or conservative principles is — in her words — a “White nationalist” no matter their skin color or ethnicity. You could say that when she sees red, she sees White.

Her latest target? Senator Marco Rubio. According to Welch, Rubio — a Cuban‑American the left categorizes as brown person (even though he has the skin tone of Greta Thunberg. — is actually a “White nationalist.” Why? Because he doesn’t vote the way she wants him to. Otherwise, Rubio would be a person of color. Because he doesn’t parrot the progressive line, Welch casts Rubio into her White nationalist Hell.

In Welch’s worldview, your ethnicity is not determined by ancestry, culture, or even the color of your skin. No, no. It is determined by your position in the political divide. Vote Republican and you are a White nationalist. That puts Black folks like Ben Carson and Senator Tim Scott at the head of a long list of White nationalists.

This is the new left‑wing alchemy — turning Hispanics and Blacks into White supremacists with the wave of a podcast microphone.

The irony, of course, is that most Hispanics — the very people Welch claims to be defending as people of color — consider themselves to be White. According to the U.S. Census, roughly 70 percent of Americans identify as White — and a large share of Hispanics fall into that category.

But Welch, in her infinite ideological wisdom, has decided that she knows better. She will determine your race by how you vote. She will assign your identity and tell you what box you belong in. And if you disagree? Well, that just proves you are White. This is the kind of intellectual gymnastics that would make a contortionist jealous.

Welch’s political views fall squarely on the extreme left — the wing that sees racism everywhere except where it actually exists. She has made a career out of calling out “whiteness,” “white privilege,” and “white supremacy,” often in ways so sweeping and so sloppy that even her fellow progressives wince.

Welch says that Republican minorities are “props,” that political disagreement is evidence of moral defect, and that conservative women are “brainwashed.”

She has framed whiteness not as a demographic category but as a kind of original sin — a stain that must be confessed, confronted, and constantly apologized for. And she has repeatedly implied that people of color who vote Republican are not only betraying their race – they become White nationalists by political metamorphosis. This is not analysis. This is not commentary. This is ideological cosplay.

Welch’s personal life — her Oklahoma roots, her career in design, her reality‑TV appearances — have given her a platform, but not expertise. And that’s fine. America is full of commentators without formal credentials. But most of them at least pretend to understand the subjects about which they pontificate. Welch, on the other hand, seems to believe that personal feelings are facts, that political narratives are science, and that her worldview is omniscient.

Her approach to race is particularly revealing. She treats race not as a biological or cultural category but as a political weapon. If you support progressive policies, you are a “person of color,” even if you’re paler than a Vermont snowbank. If you oppose them, you are “White,” even if your ancestors came from Havana, Mumbai or Nigeria (as one of mine did). This is not just absurd — it is dangerous. It erases real histories, real identities, and real cultural communities in favor of a simplistic, binary worldview that divides Americans into the righteous and the damned. And it is profoundly racist — the very thing Welch claims to oppose.

The left has spent years insisting that race is a social construct exclusive of biology. Welch has taken that idea to its most ridiculous extreme. Race is not just a social construct; it is a political construct. She will decide your race for you based on how you vote. She will determine your identity based on your ideology. And she will condemn you if you refuse to play along.

Jennifer Welch is not advancing racial justice. She is not promoting unity. She is not elevating the national conversation. She is doing what too many on the extreme left do — weaponizing race to silence dissent.

And frankly, “We’ve had it.”

So, there ‘Tis.
