Picture: Fox News

Podcaster Jennifer Welch has faced online criticism after urging listeners to keep pistols firing toward Vice President JD Vance and work to defeat him in 2028, Fox News reported. Speaking on the I've Had It podcast, Welch called Vance unfit for presidential office. [1]

During the podcast segment, Welch condemned Vance for his political shift. Fox News reported that Welch cited Vance's marriage to second lady Usha Vance, an Indian American, and argued that Vance now views his family as a burden while attempting to position himself as President Donald Trump's successor in the MAGA movement. [1]

Vance serves as the 50th vice president of the United States. A member of the Republican Party, he previously represented Ohio in the United States Senate from 2023 to 2025. Vance aligned with populist conservatism after initially criticizing Donald Trump, eventually becoming his running mate in the 2024 election. [2][4]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, Vance recently questioned plans announced by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding a public livestreamed military firing squad execution. Neither Welch nor Vance's representatives have released further statements regarding the podcast remarks. [1][5]
