Far-Right Leader Tells Teen Girls In Audience To 'Keep Having Babies' To 'Make More Americans' In Bonkers Speech

Far-Right Leader Tells Teen Girls In Audience To 'Keep Having Babies' To 'Make More Americans' In Bonkers Speech
Turning Point USA

Conservative columnist Benny Johnson—currently serving as Chief Creative Officer (CCO) at conservative youth organization Turning Point USA—generated controversy after he told female attendees at the organization's annual Young Women’s Leadership Summit to "keep having babies" to make "more Americans."

Johnson's comments were reported by Madeline Peltz, a reporter with Media Matters for America (MMA), the media watchdog group that has chronicled much of the propaganda coming out of the far-right these last few years.


Johnson urged young mostly White women to have as many children as possible.

“You can’t just stop at one. You can’t just have one bite. You gotta keep going."
“You gotta keep having babies. I say this to all you out there, more Americans! More babies!"
"Let’s go. Greatest country in the world. Let’s have more Americans.”

The tone of Johnson's speech was harshly criticized, with many pointing out his views are indicative of the current wave of Christian nationalist thought that advocates for White nationalism at all costs.



Meanwhile, prominent Republicans like former President Donald Trump's ex-chief strategist Steve Bannon have pushed replacement theory, a conspiracy theory that states White European populations and their descendants are being demographically and culturally replaced with non-European peoples.

Bannon was criticized last year after he demanded people have more "Judeo-Christian" babies so these children could be "trained" in order to "save civilization."

Indeed, Bannon has been accused of having a "Nazi problem" in the past, and his comments bring to mind the Lebensborn program, the Nazi Party's plan to increase Germany's declining birthrate of Aryan children by people classified as "racially pure" and "healthy" based on Nazi racial hygiene and health ideology.

Last month, a White supremacist who subscribed to the "Great Replacement"–which has perhaps most notoriously pushed by Fox News personality Tucker Carlson–killed 10 Black people in a shooting at a Buffalo, New York supermarket.

Trump Roasted After Sharing Quote Praising Him For Winning 'His First Nobel Prize'—And Yeah, Nope

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he published a Truth Social post in which he quoted Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who claimed this year's Nobel Prize in physics is by an extension a win for the Trump administration.

The Nobel Foundation awarded this year's physics prize to John Clarke (UC Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale and UC Santa Barbara), and John M. Martinis (UC Santa Barbara and Qolab) for “the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit."

CEO predicts society accepts robot death

In 2009, Waymo introduced its first fleet of driverless cars, sleek pods equipped with sensors, AI, and a “Sense, Solve, Go” system designed to navigate roads autonomously without human input. According to the company, its robotaxis now experience 91 percent fewer crashes and 91 percent fewer serious injuries than human drivers over the same distances.

But even as Waymo brags about its spotless stats, co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana is already bracing for the inevitable: the first fatality caused by one of its cars, and she thinks society will accept it.

Prince Harry Had The Perfect Response When Asked If He Can Do An American Accent—And It Was Actually Pretty Good

Americans are fascinated by hearing people from other countries "drop" their accents and emulate an American one.

For example, it's always interesting to see a British or Australian actor in a movie where they're portraying an American character, but while they might veil their natural accent, they sometimes emulate an American accent from a different part of the country than what would make sense for their character.

Democratic Senate Candidate Blasts Trump Administration With Reality Check Over Their Withholding Of SNAP Funding

If you ask pretty much any conservative, they will tell you that the government shutdown and all its blowback is entirely the Democrats' fault.

This includes the cancellation of SNAP benefits, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program previously known as "food stamps," beginning in November, which will cut off access to food to millions of people.
