Jennifer Welch triggered a wave of online reactions after branding Erika Kirk an 'absolute grifter' and accusing her of weaponising her gender to shame women in a scathing takedown on the 7 December episode of her podcast, I've Had It.
Welch's remarks, sparked by Kirk's recent comments about career-driven women and marriage at the DealBook Summit in New York on 3 December 2025, quickly spread across social media, where supporters and critics clashed over whether Kirk's views were empowering or deeply out of touch.
