"I've Had It" podcast host Jennifer Welch endorsed the anti-Trump Wisconsin brewery Minocqua Brewing Company on her podcast Tuesday after it referred to Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk as a "racist jerk" and "awful human being."
The show's producer, Kiley Josey, read a Sunday Facebook post from the business attacking sponsors for pulling their support of Welch after she and her co-host Angie Sullivan laughed at a joke about digging up Kirk's body after his assassination last year.
In the post, Minocqua Brewing Company offered to support the podcast with a sponsorship, attacking Kirk in the process.

"Charlie Kirk was an awful human being, and everybody who’s not in a cult or a paid influencer on the right realizes that," the post read. "We’re sorry you’ve lost a few sponsors because you laughed at a joke about this racist jerk. We probably don’t have as much money as the sponsors you lost, but we’d love to step in and partner with you if you'll have us."
"That is so sweet," Welch said. "Well, Minocqua Brewing Company, shout out to you and no money necessary. We are happy to promote your products and everybody in Wisconsin if you're … I don't know if their products are online, but hit up the Minocqua Brewing Company."
Josey also described how the brewery has sold merchandise attacking President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, earning more praise from Welch.
"Anti-Trump merch. You know what? I mean free ads for them forever. Forever. They're doing the good work. And I love a business that says we stand on business, and we're not going to tolerate our customer base being treated like s---. If other businesses could only say the same," Welch said.
Minocqua Brewing Company previously gained nationwide attention after promoting a deal for "free beer, all day long" on the day Trump dies. The company doubled down on the deal after a foiled attack at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in April.
"Well, we almost got #freebeerday," the company's post read at the time. "Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle. We’ll never know."
In a comment to Fox News Digital, Welch clarified, "We have never heard of Minocqua Brewing Company before today. Neither of us drink. Several listeners tagged us in a post from this company, and we read the post on the show without knowing of their previous comments. We have no relationship with this company and don’t intend to have one."
TPUSA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet told Fox News Digital, "Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan have nobody to blame but themselves for the fact that their sponsors are cutting ties. Rather than accept responsibility for their own behavior, they want to blame Turning Point for noticing."
"The organization didn’t coordinate this boycott; it happened organically. Everyday Americans were fed up with the fact they consistently laugh at, snicker, sneer, and generally glorify assassination culture on their podcast. The audience — and their sponsors — are shouting at them that there is a line and they crossed it. They just refuse to listen."
