'I've had it with white people that triple Trumped that have the nerve and the audacity to walk into a Mexican restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, go to a gay hairdresser,' Welch raged. 'I don't think you should be able to enjoy anything but Cracker Barrel.' 3 Bravo star Jennifer Welch unleashed the profanity-laden meltdown on her 'I've Had It' podcast. IHIP The term 'triple Trump' refers to those who support what critics argue are the president's anti-stances on immigration, diversity and LGBTQ rights. 'If you want to triple Trump, if you want to brow beat DEI, if you want to brow beat gay people, you want to brow beat black people as you have been doing for hundreds of years… White people that triple Trumped should be boycotted, banned from enjoying the best thing that America has to offer, which is multiculturalism,' she ranted. 'Get your fat asses out of the Mexican restaurant. Get your fat asses over at a Cracker Barrel because nobody wants to see your f–ing smug ass, teeny weeny pink arm, big gut around.' 3 Welch said Trump supporters should take themselves to Cracker Barrel instead. REUTERS 3 The Bravo star was called 'unhinged and delusional' after the rant against Trump's supporters. AP 'Nobody wants to see that sh-t, no one,' she added.
