Former Bravo star and liberal podcast host Jennifer Welch laughed as she watched footage of a No Kings protester celebrating activist Charlie Kirk’s death, telling Democrats they need to cater to such voters going forward.
"If you think this Zohran thing is happening just in New York and you think people are waking up only in New York City, you're mistaken," she said, playing a clip of a "wine mom" at the No Kings March during an offshoot of her "I've Had It" podcast called "IHIP News."
She then cut to man-on-the-street footage of conservative activist Kaitlin Bennett speaking about Kirk to a protester at the march.

"Yeah, him’s horrible," the elderly female marcher said of Charlie Kirk, weeks after his death. "Horrible. Charlie Kirk is horrible. Yes. I'm glad he's not here."
"You're glad he's dead?" Bennett asked for clarification.
"Yes," the marcher answered, later remarking, "Because he was horrible on the campuses. The college campuses. Horrible person."
Bennett, who noted that she does similar work to Kirk when he was alive, asked the woman if she would be glad if she died as well.
"Maybe, I’d have to think about it," the marcher replied, drawing visible shock from Bennett and multiple bouts of laughter from Welch.

"So listen up Democratic establishment," Welch said on her podcast. "You can either jump on board with this s---, or we're coming after you in the same way that we come after MAGA. Period."
Welch called out to Democratic leadership, urging them to stop accepting money from pro-Israel group AIPAC and to stop missing out on big rallies. She went on to praise some of the more anti-establishment Democrats and the unnamed activist who celebrated Kirk’s death.
"Kudos to Bernie, to AOC, to Zohran, and that woman out in somewhere middle America saying, ‘F--- Charlie Kirk. He was a racist. He was a piece of s---,’" she said. "There are so many more of us than there are of them. And these Democrats that continue to play patty cake with corporations and lobbyists, nobody wants that. Nobody wants you."
Zohran Mamdani’s rise to become the Democratic nominee for New York City Mayor has been a reckoning for Democrats. While some have been eager to separate themselves from the politician who once refused to condemn phrases like "globalize the Intifada," others argue that he is a welcome sign of a changing party.
