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!
