Jennifer Welch says her apology wasn't for Turning Point USA

"Andrew, we're never ever gonna sit down and listen to you," Jennifer Welch says, addressing Andrew Kolvet in I've Had It's new Short. The point she wants to settle is what an earlier apology meant, and whom it was for.
In "We ride at dawn 💅🦅", Welch describes an online campaign by figures associated with Turning Point USA to cancel the podcast. She displays Kolvet's post demanding an apology over a joke made on the show, then explains that her earlier apology came from a personal place: someone she loved died from gun violence, and she had not felt good about the joke. It was not an apology to Turning Point, she says.
Co-host Angie "Pumps" Sullivan also pushes back, questioning what she sees as the conservative organization's moral double standards. Turning Point USA advocates conservative politics on school and college campuses; here, its criticism becomes the subject rather than another politician's remarks.
The clip reached about 113,000 views in seven hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full first day for a Short. Its comment section was also far busier than a typical first day.
Other Shorts about Trump's midterm response and his ballroom were drawing faster-than-usual audiences, too. But this upload puts the hosts themselves at the center, with Welch insisting on a distinction between regretting a joke and accepting her critics' terms.
