It’s time to find out who had the Worst Media Quote of the Week. This interactive series is where you — our loyal NewsBusters visitors and MRC supporters — get to vote on which leftist journalist or celebrity had the worst media quote of the week.
Much appreciation to all who voted last week via NewsBusters and the MRC’s various social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, X, and Truth Social).
The results of the Worst Media Quote of the Week are in and the winner is…
Jennifer Welch!
The former reality show personality turned leftist podcaster won, for a second week in a row, with 57 percent of the vote! Welch won for scolding that MAGA can only offer “fear-mongering, scare-mongering, xenophobia and racism.” ABC’s The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg came in second place with 31 percent. MS NOW host Peter Alexander finished in third place with 12 percent.
Check out the following clip (via the MRC Video team) to see the nominees in action:

WINNER (57 percent of the vote)
Jennifer Welch: MAGA Can Only Offer “Fear-Mongering, Scare-Mongering, Xenophobia and Racism”
“There is nothing radical about not taking corporate money. There is nothing radical about wanting health care for everybody. There is nothing radical about having a politics that is more empathetic, inclusive, and accepting. MAGA is none of those things. The only thing they can offer, the American public right now, is fear-mongering, scare-mongering, xenophobia, and racism, and Islamophobia, and it has worked for a very long time since 9/11.”
