Far-Right Podcaster Hit With Hilarious Reminder After Branding 'Girl Dads' As 'Super Cringe'

Matt Walsh laid into dads who identify as "girl dads" in a viral tweet—but the internet came with the receipts of his own past usage of the term.

"Rules for thee but not for me" is basically the right-wing's entire organizing principle, but the latest example of the trend is quite an eye-roller, and it's getting Matt Walsh quite a bit of blowback.

The far-right propagandist recently laid into dads who identify themselves as "girl dads," mocking the term as "cringe" and "corny."


That's a pretty interesting sentiment coming from one of the leaders of a movement so obsessed with making babies they've proposed paying women a $5,000 reward for having one, but consistency is not these people's strong point.

Anyway! If there's one thing conservatives hate more than men having completely normal emotions, it's trans people. So of course Walsh's screed against "girl dads" was directed at someone sticking up for trans rights.

Walsh wrote:

"Identifying yourself as a 'girl dad' is super cringe and corny."
"Also a weird way to try to inoculate yourself against claims of sexism or whatever."
"I have both boys and girls. I’m not a 'girl dad' or a 'boy dad.' I’m just a dad."

You know, just the usual nonsensical, eyeroll-inducing pablum Walsh has made an entire career out of.

But there's just one problem: Walsh's take on "girl dads" was actually a complete 180 from his own self-described dad career.

Back in 2020, Walsh posted his own "girl dad" tweet that is still live and searchable. And speaking of "super cringe" and "corny," he not only used the phrase "girl dad," he used the HASHTAG. Eew.

God, what a dork, right? But wait! There's more: Just an hour before that tweet, Walsh had posted an entire PARAGRAPH about how much he loves being a "#girldad" as if he's some blue-haired liberal cuck with emotions or something.

In that tweet, Walsh droned on like some kind of teen-angst poet, gushing:

"Without a doubt the best and most encouraging trend I've seen on Twitter is #girldad."
"Fathers sharing their pride and love for their daughters. Doesn't get more constructive and wholesome than that."

People on X were quick to drag Walsh for his dumb, hypocritical take with receipts from his own tweets.






Walsh's dumb tweet got so many receipt-laden responses that it now bears a community note reading "Matt Walsh has referred to himself as a 'girl dad'."

Don't you just love it when these right-wing grifters invent so many new weird outrages that they can't keep track of which manufactured BS they're currently on? Oops!

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
