IHIP News: 🚨 MAGA ROCKED By Gay Scandal and Erika Kirk's MEDIA TOUR Continues!

Mag has been throwing a lot of gay. accusations. We can call him gay. accusations. And I have none other than my gay. husband here, Don Lemon, here for us to. gossip a little bit about this and. unpack it because sometimes we need a. respit from the non-stop crime of this. administration. So, welcome, Don. >> Hello, Jen Welch. You've had it and. you're mad and you've got news for a lot. of stuff, right? >> That's right. >> This is Did you see that? Milo. Yiannopoulos interview.

>> Yes, that's what I want to talk about. >> He's throwing around all these. accusations, even saying that he thought. Charlie Kirk was gay. I'd never heard. that. >> Yeah. Did you get a gay ever get a gay. dar ping from Charlie Kirk? >> No, cuz I I never really paid that much. attention to Charlie Kirk. It was just. not really in my, you know, in in my. wheelhouse and and just not in my vision. or whatever that I it is that I was. interested in. But I had heard the. rumors about um Benny Johnson and a lot. of folks had about Benny Johnson and uh.

look I don't know I can't substantiate. uh any of it but the rumors have been. around for a while and I know people who. have stories about him. Uh and then you. know Milo Yiannopoulos is an openly gay. man and he said I have been I have never. been sued once and he he believes what. he's saying is true. And who else did he. say? He said Benny Johnson. He said. Charlie Kirk. Oh. and he said, "Oh, what's his name?" Um, Alex Jones of all. people. [laughter]. Like, what? Jen, what?

>> You know, I mean, I have often thought, you and I have talked about this. I felt. like in some facets of MAGA there is. what I call a DL demon queen problem. where you have these DL men and you know. we know what happens when there's a. Republican gathering at the RNC or. Charlie Kirk's funeral for that matter. grinder crashes. And so this doesn't. surprise me much. Laura Loomers jumped. in on it. Um the the Kylie put this up.

This is where uh uh Milo responds to um. uh the accusations and basically he. calls out Benny Johnson's. >> wife and then he starts accusing them of. he says in the middle of this if you're. raw about people saying you're a swinger. >> maybe don't be a swinger girl. Strange. how rumors just take on a life of their. own, especially given how notoriously.

prudish nurses are. And he goes into all. of this about Charlie Kirk. [clears throat] I mean, this is some. tea. And then he ends it with. >> yours in Christ or kisses. I guess that depends on what day of the. week it is. Your friend Milo. I mean, that is just unbelievable. And let's. remember, is Benny Johnson one of the. guys that was on the Russian payroll?

>> Uh, I think Benny Johnson was one. I. know the guy the guy show that he was. on. I think I believe Benny Johnson was. Tim P was was definitely one of those. guys. And and so it was Milo. Yiannopoulos and George Santos on Tim. P's show when all of this came out. And. George Santos being like the voice of. reason or trying to trying to calm. things out. It's like, wait, what? you. just got out of jail, you know, because. the president let you out. But, you. know, I liked it if you look at if you. put that back up, the part that I like, I like the part that you pointed out,

but I also like the part which I thought. was very important because he's saying, you know, um, you really want to take me. to court for defamation and liable. Do. you really want to open that up and open. up the the the discovery process? And he. says, and do you want to lose a. defamation case? and then in capital. letters to Milo Yiannopoulos of all. people about whether or not you are gay, which I mean I have to say that I agree. with him. You know, Jen, the bar for. defamation and liable, especially for.

public figures, are so it's so high in. in this country. The bar is so high it's. tough to prove. I'm not saying that it's. not provable, but I mean, does he really. want to go to court proving that he is. not gay or whatever it is that he's. trying to prove? And then are you going. to open up your personal life with your. wife as he said with you know maybe if. you don't want to be a swinger maybe you. shouldn't be a swinger do you want to. but look it's really juicy and I think. after a while all this stuff what what. happens in the dark darkness comes to. the to light and if these folks were.

just allowed to be themselves if Benny. Johnson was openly who knows what he is. openly bisexual or with his wife and. they were swingers and it's consenting. adults I really don't care but if you're. out there preaching, you know, don't be. gay, gay is wrong, all these things, then yeah, I think you should be out it. I really do. I don't care who you are. And if you are um proposing legislation. and laws that are detrimental to members. of the LGBTQ community and you're. sneaking, you know, in the darkness, and.

you know what you say, eaten, whatever, then I think that you deserve whatever. you get. >> Yeah, we're looking at you, Lady Graham, with your ladybugs. >> If you're out and gay, I don't care what. you do in your bedroom. I don't care. what you do with another adult. I don't. either. And if somebody. >> sexually at all. >> and if somebody's passively in the. closet, you know, where and I know in. Oklahoma, I knew a lot of friends that. were that conservative family, conservative religious family, and they. had a job and on the weekends they were. more around their gay friends, but they.

were passively in the closet. these. people, the Lindsey Grahams, the Benny. Johnson's, the um in my opinion like. Josh Holl's JD Vances, I get gay pings. from all um they are actively using. homophobia to weaponize and to demean. gay people and to erode civil rights. You know, this year, Don, there have. been 600. anti-LGBTQ. plus pieces of legislation in this year. alone. 600.

>> Yeah. 600. So, this is very very serious. stuff. I mean, it's some fun tea, but we. he they speak here about Charlie Kirk. and I mean, you know, I don't know if he. was gay or not, but I do know that and I. don't think he was, but um his wife has. been making the rounds. And I want to be. clear that. Charlie Kirk should be alive, >> right? >> He should not be dead. And I haven't. heard one person, Don, that loves him or.

that is in his inner circle or that. claims to be his best friends ever talk. about what the real culprit is in. killing Charlie Kirk, >> which is gun violence. >> I mean, anybody else that gets shot, you. have the family members going around. talking about we have to do something. about gun violence. That is all. completely, it's crickets from this. whole group of people. And here we have. Erica Kirk and I wanted to get your take. on this here. She's been on a big media. blitz um telling women that they need to.

stay at home and they need to value. marriage. Meanwhile, while she's working. full-time and then she was with Barry. Weiss recently of uh CBS News and here's. the inter a segment of the interview. >> One of the most alarming things about. Charlie's murder was the way that some. people in this country reacted to it. Yeah. >> And not just online. This was kind of. this was an idea that you encountered a. lot. And the idea was this. >> They kind of justified it. They.

basically said that because Charlie said. or believed things that they believed. were controversial or even hateful. >> that he somehow had it coming. What do. you say to people who justified his. death? You're sick. He's a human being. You think he deserve that? Tell that to my three-year-old daughter.

Excuse [snorts] me. You want to watch. and high res. [snorts] the video of my husband being. murdered. [snorts] and laugh. and say he deserves it. There's something very sick in your soul. and I pray that God saves you.

I pray. because that is what is so wrong. The internet in this world has. dehumanized. us. >> Yeah. >> So Don she Barry Weiss the premise of. her question is that people that I guess. justified his death. >> I don't know anyone who justified his. death. >> The person that I heard that justified.

his death was him. [clears throat]. He's the one that said on tape that if. school kids die, but it means he gets to. have a second amendment, then that's. that's what it's going to be. He's the. one that justified it. And I believe at. the time of shooting, he was talking. about gun violence at the time. >> Mhm. >> That's wild to me. Number one, and then. for her I want to get your opinion on. this as a black man. for her to say that.

people are dehumanizing Charlie Kirk. I. remember him dehumanizing. um a black pilot. [clears throat]. >> He wouldn't want to fly on a plane if a. pilot was black, which is, you know, turning point turning point turning. point. Everywhere he went, it was the. dehumanization of black people. So, I. want to get your take on both of those. things. Well, I I just got got off of a. plane and I never did I once even think. about what color the pilot is, you know, and I don't care what color they are. I.

don't care what what what ethnicity. I. don't care what gender they are as long. as they have the skills to fly the. plane. So, I don't look at it that way. And I think it's ridiculous. He also. said that black women didn't have brain. enough brain processing power. I don't. know if you remember that. So, um, a. couple of things. Number one, as I was. saying, I don't know anyone that. justified Charlie Kirk's death that. said, "Oh, yeah, I'm so glad that he. died and he deserved to die." I don't. know anyone who said that. Now, the. internet can be cruel. I will agree with. her on that and you know that folks in. the comments can be cruel. However,

I believe the crux of her question or. the framing of her question was wrong. because no one did. And those are two. there's those are separate things. There's nuance there to say that he got. shot in a in you know doing something or. in a manner that he had that he had. justified before. I think that is I. think that's a fair way of framing it. But I don't know anyone I everyone. everyone I know preferences it the same. way that you do. He should still be. alive. The man should not be dead.

However, it is true that he promoted. guns. He did not want sensible gun. legislation and he said that you have to. have a certain number of casualties, so. to speak, in order to have a second. amendment. He did say that and he. happened to die that way. That's fact. Now, she is a grieving widow. She's a. grieving wife. I understand that and I. feel sorry for her. But there's a lot. of, you know, if I could be honest, a. lot of crying.

That's seems kind of acty to me. But. look, as someone who's been in grief. before, you know, I I don't know. You. don't know how someone's going to react. But if people of color and members of. the LGBTQ plus community feel a certain. kind of way about Charlie Kirk, I. understand it because he was not kind to. us. As someone who happens to be members. of both of those, LGBTQ and a black. person, he wasn't kind. His thoughts. weren't kind. His words weren't kind. I'm not happy that he died at all. Um,

but I also did not like what he stood. for when he was alive. And I think it's. okay to say that. [snorts]. >> Yeah. I think, you know, obviously. seeing somebody violently killed like. that, so disturbing. I mean, I just. remember the first time I saw it, I. thought that's got to be AI. That can't. be real. Your brain goes into denial. >> I didn't watch it. >> I couldn't watch it. >> It It popped up on our Yeah, it's it's. horrible. It's absolutely horrible. Um. but then this um I think it's.

interesting that you know when people. die that are public speakers, thought. leaders, typically montage videos of. them are played of them speaking, you. know, like if you think about all the. times at CNN when you would say, you. know, Senator such and such has died and. now we're, you know, you did it. countless times and you let that person. kind of tell their own orbituary, if you. will and it shows their life works. I. haven't seen any of that from Charlie.

Kirk's uh coverage. >> If you want to make someone into, you. know, what they they they're saying he's. a civil rights icon or anything like. that. In order to to erect a statue of. some memorial for Charlie Kirk, you'd. have to have a quote to put on it. And. so what and my friend DL Hugley says. this all the time. What is the quote. that you would put on a Charlie Kirk. memorial or statue that you know and. when I get on a plane if I if I see a. black pilot I I'm scared or that black. women don't have brain processing power. or that um gay people should not be.

married or any of like what would you. put on a plaque? And so if you're gonna, you know, [snorts] amplify someone and put them up. and promote them and platform them as. some sort of, you know, civil rights. icon or world peace leader, then come up. with something good that they did. besides promote an ideology that was not. kind to a whole lot of people in this. country. >> Okay, last thought here. Erica Kirk is. um in line with a lot of women,

conservative women right now who are out. doing media blitzes or podcasts and they. are weaponizing their gender to preach. to women that women should value. marriage and children and all of these. things. >> Is this a trad thing kind of? >> It's all the trad Yeah. Yeah. And. so I just think it's really rich that. these women who have full-time jobs are.

lecturing other women about what they. need to do with their lives. And number. one, I remember and you and I are both. old enough to remember when the. Republican party was the party of. personal accountability and kind of mind. your own business like we don't want a. big government. this push, this this. rise in sexism and misogyny is just. getting so pronounced with the rise of. racism, with the rise of homophobia, but. the the use of this fascist regime, in.

my opinion, it's a fascist regime. >> to use women to weaponize their gender. to kind of genderwash this thought that. women need to go backwards is really. alarming and trotting out Erica Kirk and. this is like in the last few days and. again grief whatever ever. She's done. like a huge media blitz in the last four. or five days. Um. >> that was my point earlier. Yeah. It's. like there's a lot of like crying and. and what feels to me that is. performative. That's my feeling. That's.

my opinion. It feels and um Jen, as you. know, you were with [clears throat] me. over the last couple of months when my. sister passed in May. And everybody. reacts differently. But I did not, you. know, I did my job because she wanted. me. She loved me. She said every day you. should I'm so glad that you're on. TikTok. I'm I'm obsessed. And so that. was kind of an honor, a tribute to her. And I understand that that she wants to. do that, but um I don't know if that if. I was not a person who had been, you.

know, trained in media, if I could be in. front of cameras, uh I I needed time to. grieve. I took two weeks off. You filled. in for me. >> I needed some time to grieve. And I. don't I don't see her having done that. But listen, I'm not being critical. I'm. just being analytical. And I have not. seen that. And and people are wondering. and they're right to they're I believe. they have every right to do so. >> Yeah, I agree. Okay, Don Lemon, you're. tired, you've traveled, but you're. always a sensation. You'd look good. sitting in the barrel of a loaded. shotgun, and I appreciate [laughter] you.

coming on iHip News with me. Tell Tim. said hi. Give him a big sugar. And thank. you so much. >> I will. I love you. And a big hug from. virtually a big streaming hug. >> Oh, and Pump says she loves you, too. Thank you, Pumps. >> All right. Bye. >> Bye, Jen. [music].
