25 Political Karens Who Need To Sit Down Somewhere

Gov. DeSantis has successfully projected his homophobic and racist views onto legislation that has caused ripples across the nation but more intensely, in the area of education. He has endorsed laws that basically put Florida in a time warp where LGBT individuals are shamed and talking about racism is taboo. Ultimately, he wants to protect white people from feeling guilty after learning the history of how we got to this new norm.

By doing so, he’s admitted that he indeed feels guilty so, he’s taking it out on the education system. He even went as far to suggest slavery was beneficial for Black people and authorized the state’s Education Department to ban lessons of slavery’s history in curriculum. Mr. Anti-Woke needs to have several seats.

The conservative commentator who made a career out of being a loud and proud bigot and arguing with people on television was ousted from his pulpit at FOX News amidst their lawsuit. Well, technically he agreed to leave but who’s to say folks ain’t want him there anymore? At the time of his departure, he was sued by his booking producer for sexism and harassment. Because he thinks he’s that special, he released a biography detailing his life all the way up to his conspiracy-spewing career landing embarrassingly low numbers of sales, per The Daily Beast.

The Supreme Court Justice is one of those behind the scenes Karens that pops out every once in a while. He may not be as loud and obnoxious as the others but he gets caught by the press for other things. Way back in the day, he was accused of sexually assaulting Anita Hill and played victim following her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, calling the hearing a “high-tech lynching.”

Recently, he got exposed for accepting gifts from GOP megadonors, per ProPublica. While donning the robe and gavel, he supported every ruling against abortion rights, LGBT rights, wiping student loan debt and even served as a key figure in seeking the overturning of the 2020 election. His ethics are questionable but his motives seem evident.

This man single handedly caused a traffic jam on the George Washington bridge while governor in 2013, all because he had beef with a mayor who declined to endorse him for reelection, per CNN. If that isn’t Karen behavior, I don’t know what is.

The 2024 presidential election isn’t the first time he tried to run for president. Though, after getting booted from Trump’s transition team, he’s taken all his Karen energy toward tarnishing Trump’s name.

The lipless, Missouri Senator was rebuked by his own colleagues, orchestrated an Electoral College challenge behind Trump’s whines about the election being stolen from him, per AP. That one argument was not only a reflection of the nation tension about “stolen votes” but the meeting was interrupted by a group of Jan 6. rioters who wouldn’t have even made it to the floor if Hawley would have just kept his mouth shut.

Ben, with the nonstop Twitter fingers, always has something to say about something which is nine times out of 10 offensive to marginalized communities. He criticized Sen. Bernie Sanders on his Jewish heritage, slammed Disney over a floating rumor about the next ‘Frozen’ movie being LGBT-friendly, called BLM supporters “communists” and supports the ban of trans people being allowed to dress according to the gender they identify as.

Every unpopular opinion he launches into the Twitterverse gets him dragged and rightfully so.

One of the top Twitter trolls there is. From fat-shaming Lizzo to complaining about Minnie Mouse wearing pants, the things most people don’t find problems with, she makes a problem out of. Only 1 percent of the time do Black folks agree with her, like when she defended Megan Thee Stallion.

However, she’s spewed so many lies about slavery, racism or “Black-on-Black crime,” barely a word out of her mouth can be trusted because it’s always to satisfy the ear of a conservative white person.

The debates about race and sexuality among lawmakers was bound to get too far once their own hatred finally came to light. Rep. Quattrocchi let his ugly out recently while debating about HB 5763, a bill requiring an equity impact statement on all new legislative proposals, per The Advocate.

While arguing that the terms of the bill were too broad, he asked if he needed to take into account sexual orientation and how it effects pedophiles. After his colleague responded that 1. pedophilia isn’t a sexual orientation and 2. she was offended, he goes “Oh I didn’t mean to - Are you a pedophile?”

In another attempt to make the most basic thing a political issue, Idaho lawmakers blocked a proposal to supply free menstrual products to public schools, per The Hill. Scott, who has been seen smiling proudly beside a Confederate flag, slammed the idea of providing a cost efficient solution to menstruation a “liberal policy” and said schools are “obsessed with the private parts of children.”

No... maybe they just want to make their lives a little easier. What do tampons have to do with being liberal?

Ugh! We could be here for hours listing Haley’s Karen moments. Though, most recently she decided to support Gov. Ron DeSantis tirade on sexuality curriculum by suggested the third grader-age limit to learning about sexual orientation was too young. Aside from the anti-LGBT rhetoric, she checks all the boxes of conservative beliefs: slamming Biden for being weak, picking something to blame China for and denying the country’s racist foundation.

Former NFL star Herschel Walker took a swing at running for Georgia Senate against Sen. Raphael Warnock. Why? No one knows. Frighteningly enough, without any prior political experience, his campaign turned into a success. However, his previous domestic violence/abortion scandals and overall inability to make a cohesive sentence outshined his Trump endorsement and rising popularity as CRT-hating, anti-LGBT, COVID-cure crafting Republican.

I present, the archenemy to voting rights advocate Stacey Abrams, Gov. Brian Kemp. During their debate in the 2022 rematch, Kemp complained about being interrupted, being accused of interrupting Abrams and touted that Georgia was “one COVID variant away from Abrams wanting the state to go on lockdown.” Though Kemp wasn’t proven to be a campaign conspirator in the gubernatorial race in 2018, he just may be in the 2020 election probe along with his other Trump-loving buddies. Kemp also has taken strong stances against talks of racism in the classroom, banning abortion and signing off on unlicensed, public concealed carry laws.

On school shootings, he signed off on school’s performing drills for armed intruders.

Santos’ own colleagues have asked him to step down after being exposed for his slew of lies and alleged inability to serve in the House. Apparently, he fabricated his education, work experience and even Jewish heritage while being a whole Catholic and a half. He was also kicked off of GoFundMe for laundering donations for a service dog. Santos is honestly just there as comedic relief (cue the SNL parody) but owns his bulls**t unlike most Republicans.

The single Black Republican Senator, Tim Scott, spews most of his trash from the right-panel of Fox News. He’s more lukewarm when it comes to the level of his conservative craziness. Though, claiming Biden supports the “drug of victimhood” and that because he made it out of a low-income single-parent household, single moms will be just fine without the option to abort qualifies him for the list.

One of the main Republican senators that voted against marriage equality was yours truly. Though, lately, he found himself wound up in the Georgia 2020 election investigated spearheaded by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis - which he failed miserably to avoid. I mean, he is a “stop the steal” stan which may explain why he felt so passionately about Trump-endorsed Senate candidate Herschel Walker running for office.

She was banned from Twitter was banned for a reason. The QAnon Queen has been famous (and not in a good way) for spewing racist, homophobic, transphobic trash online. Her tweets are polluted with spreading COVID-19 misinformation, boasting about participating in the insurrection and accusing trans people of buying up the tampons. She’s been openly and repeatedly racist while simultaneously insisting the party she belongs to is not. Greene been the model conservative, standing hatefully against anything associated with the Left.

Sitting on the throne of lies is former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. Listening to her speak was not so much stressful as it was entertaining being that after she would blatantly lie, she would look you in your face from the Fox News camera and say, “I didn’t lie.” She was another coronavirus non believer but instead took her beliefs to the pulpit where she was responsible for informing the nation on the virus. She was so focused on protecting Trump you would’ve thought she got a raise for every time she said “the president has the virus under control.” Well, after 1 million deaths, it doesn’t seem like he did.

Undergraduate students could write dissertations on the mess that flew out of this man’s mouth while he was president. More recently, a tantrum about his indictment: “WE JUST CAN’T ALLOW THIS ANYMORE,” he tweeted. “THEY’RE KILLING OUR NATION AS WE SIT BACK & WATCH. WE MUST SAVE AMERICA!PROTEST, PROTEST, PROTEST!!!”

Honestly, his whole term was a fever dream. All of his racist rhetoric about people of color not belonging in the country or going back to the “old days” when it was legal to harass Black people in the street inspired American citizens to act on those words. Summer of 2020 was filled with hate spewing from Trump supporters and MAGAts. Thanks to him, a new, violent and even more unbearable group of Karens have been born.

Betsy DeVos would be the parent complaining to the school board about mandatory masking and vaccination because “my body my choice.” Not only was she investigated for violating the Hatch Act for inappropriately sliding in a Fox News interview but she also compared slavery to abortion rights. On a more timely note, she and the Department of Education were sued for preventing a law to offer student loan forgiveness and tried to scam former students whose loans were already forgiven.

If it’s not Florida, it’s Texas. Sen. Cruz’s top ten moments most definitely include his list of anti-racist books he surprisingly could quote from and abandoning his own state residents during their snow storm crisis to live his best life in Cancun. Just like most of the other Karens listed, he considered coronavirus information “government propaganda” and believes President Joe Biden is to blame for everything wrong in the country from chicken nugget sauce shortages to probably wind blowing too hard.

Have you ever been in the grocery store minding your own business when a random, old white person just stares at you...bothered by your Black existence? That might’ve been Mr. McConnell. He’s been a ride or die for the Republican Party, standing against critical legislation that could help Black people simply because they were introduced by the party he didn’t like. Though he’s insisted he was for the people back in the day, his efforts against the very civil rights he ‘fought’ for are quite nonexistent now. As if he didn’t attend the March on Washington in 1963, he stands firmly against the teaching of critical race theory or you know, anything beyond a few handpicked MLK quotes.

I don’t know if there’s anyone who defends Trump’s nonsense more than this guy. McCarthy repeatedly turns a blind eye to the actions of his party and insists the Left are “undermining” democracy by trying to hold the former president accountable of his foolishness. In addition, he also supported overturning the election, screaming “fake votes” and “stop the steal” just like the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol. McCarthy spends too much time pointing his finger and the very things he’s guilty of.

We’ll be here all day if I had to list them all out for you. Those paper-lipped folks on Fox News and conservative influencers of Twitter would be the bulk of it. If a Democrat but so blinks the wrong way, these folks are blasting it over the news and social media, crying about the radical left ruining the country. Meanwhile, they support white supremacist ideology and think there’s no big deal.

For example, a white man staged an arson claiming BLM was to blame. Before finding out he did the damn thing himself, Ben Shapiro went to Laura Ingraham on Fox to label the movement against police brutality being left-wing “violence and cruelty.” They make it their job to turn diamonds out of dust and still end up with Claire’s rhinestones.
