    Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan read social media posts reacting to Tuesday’s midterm election — in which Democrats took control of the House and Senate and won key governors’ races — on Thursday’s episode of their I’ve Had It podcast.

    They both cracked up to a post that read, “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.”

    The clip has since been cut from the episode, and the two apologized for laughing at the joke. But the damage has already been done.

    They didn’t even make a joke, they just laughed at one?

    Conservatives: The left hates comedy and are snowflakes, and also don’t you dare laugh at the mere implication of something that upsets us.

      I saw it. And I laughed at it. Because it was funny.

      Fuck Charlie Kirk, and these butthurt GOP hypocrites who regularly spew hate and bile and vitriol every time they open their mouths. They can dish it out, but they sure can’t take it.

      edit: here is their response:

      I didn’t watch this, but saw someone (one of the night show hosts) bring up how conservative podcasters kept bringing up that post made by an anonymous twitter account with an anime profile pic…

      People laughed at how ridiculous it was, and the only reason anyone saw it, was Republicans bitching about it.

      Actually it might have been that podcast that Cody Johnson from oldschool Cracked that I saw it.

      Either way, the original tweet was something rightwingers latched onto immediately, it’s just a dumb twitter joke, literally what the right said was totally cool and Elon explicitly said was why he bought twitter, “to make comedy legal”
