Trump, under the advice of Stephen Miller and the Heritage Foundation to fulfill their Project 2025 agenda, selected grossly unqualified people for his second administration, so any cabinet member could have been terminated.
Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom's wife made the case that it was telling the first two cabinet members fired were women, based on Trump's well documented history of misogyny.
In a video posted to Instagram, Siebel Newsom said:
"Trust me, I'm not a fan of Pam Bondi nor Kristi Noem, but I need to call out that it's no surprise to me that the first two prominent people pushed out of this administration were women."
"The conservative women that Trump handpicks who align themselves with an agenda that controls women, restricting our rights, limiting our autonomy... is only in service of men."
You can see the video here:
Siebel Newsom, co-founder of gender rights nonprofit California Partners Project, continued:
"There's a familiar pattern here. Women are brought in, packaged Mar-a-Lago style, and lifted up as long as they commit to wholeheartedly serve the interests of the patriarch at the top."
"Now it looks like power, or proximity to power with a big title, but it never comes with job security and protection."
"There's no secure place inside this handpicked patriarchal body that systemically disrespects, devalues and discriminates against women and girls."
She offered a warning to the women of MAGA:
"And this is where complicity comes in, because when you align yourself with that value system, with a leader who has publicly devalued women, degraded them, and been found liable of abusing women, well, guess what? You're going to be the first to go."
"Your power is only temporary, and ultimately they will come for you. That's the unfortunate truth for all women."
"No woman is safe in Trump's Republican Party unless she has enough wealth or the ability to buy her own job security and safety."
"And so, my friends, regardless of your political affiliation you might want to wake up and see this for what it truly is, it's a war on all women."
The first to jump into the comments were MAGA men, like bondzie1 and 1flyingcarpet, declaring women have it great and are under no threat.

Trump has a long, well-documented history of misogyny.
He has a habit of referring to women as pigs—telling a female journalist, "quiet piggy"—and saying he assaults women, grabbing and kissing them without their consent and entering the dressing rooms of even underage girls, because he's unable to stop himself.
But to Dan Levy, she was more than a costar, onscreen mom, or even family friend; she was more like an aunt, having worked with his father, Eugene Levy, for decades and meeting Dan when he was still a baby.
During an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Levy talked about his time on Schitt's Creek and the deepening of his relationship with O'Hara when they started working together on the show.
Part of the interview took place in Goodwood, Ontario, the small, Canadian town where most of Schitt's Creek was filmed.
Levy knew in advance that this visit would be taking place, and he was confident that he'd be able to talk about the show, about O'Hara's passing, and visit the Schitt's Creek primary location without choking up. But he was very, very wrong.
When asked if he could envision a revival of Schitt's Creek, Levy's response resonated around the world:
"Oh no, not now. You can't."
Because the "now" had nothing to do with time. It wasn't about being too soon after the show ended six years ago. The "now" referred to O'Hara's absence. To his mind, there can be no Schitt's Creek without Moira Rose.
You can watch the segment here:
The interview quickly went viral across social media platforms, with people resonating with Levy's grief and his unwillingness to see the show go on without O'Hara.
Instagrammers were touched by Levy's honesty.

Losing Catherine O'Hara has been heartbreaking for so many. The best thing we can do is continue to enjoy her memory and all that she gave us during her incredible acting career.
Allen "Griddy" Davis, a friend and high school teammate of Chase in New Orleans, created the dance in 2017 while still in high school. Chase learned it and later taught it to his college teammate Jefferson at Louisiana State University, leading to its adoption in the NFL.
You can see the original Griddy showing how it's done here:
But Ingraham’s rendition of the Griddy has been branded a "cringe fest" by social media users for multiple reasons.
Ingraham gained an audience first on right-wing radio, then on Fox News by spreading racist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, and Islamaphobic stereotypes, lies, and rhetoric on her program The Ingraham Angle since 2017.
In a post shared to her Instagram account, the former talk radio host wrote she was doing a "post-dinner Griddy" and that her "daughter made [her] do it" in case anyone was looking for who to blame.

You can see Ingraham Griddy here in a repost of her video by comedian Aries Spears:
Spears captioned his repost, after tagging Ingraham:
"it’s funny this the same Laura ingraham that told LeBron to just shut up and dribble and now here she is dancing to hip hop! Isn’t it amazing how some white people love to use us when it’s time for the fun parts of the culture but when we have a social or political conscious they want us to stay in our place"
In the comments, Chris Dailey (@mr__wise__guy) explained:
"It’s wild watching people pretend not to understand the point Aries Spears is making. This isn’t about dancing. It’s about the pattern."
"Laura Ingraham is the same person who told LeBron to 'shut up and dribble' when he spoke on real issues, but now she’s perfectly happy to dip into the culture when it’s time for the fun, trendy, feel‑good parts. That’s not appreciation. That’s selective convenience."
"This is exactly what cultural appropriation looks like: Enjoy the art, reject the artists. Love the culture, silence the people who created it."
"And the folks jumping in to tell Aries to 'stick to comedy' are proving his point. The moment a Black entertainer speaks on something real, suddenly they’re 'out of line.' But everyone else gets to comment freely."
"If you’re going to enjoy the culture, then respect the people behind it — not just when it entertains you, but when it challenges you too."

Others concurred with that sentiment.

According to a Grok AI generated summary of reactions to the video on X:
"On April 3, Fox News host Laura Ingraham posted an 11-second Instagram video of her attempting the viral Griddy dance to NBA YoungBoy's 'Right Foot Creep,' dressed in a yellow cardigan and joined by a friend. Her recent Texas A&M freshman daughter, Maria Caroline, convinced her to try it for fun."
"While Instagram users gave it over 30,000 likes, X reactions focused on cringe mockery—like calling it the 'stiffest Griddy ever'—and contrasts to Ingraham's earlier barbs at LeBron James, Kamala Harris, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for their dancing."

Ingraham got called out for embracing Black culture and hip hop when it suits her, but vilifying Black people and rap music for profit on her Fox News show.
On Facebook, The Minority Take shared:
"'SHUT UP AND DRIBBLE.' That’s what Laura Ingraham told Lebron James, but today she’s on national TV doing a viral Black dance—and doing it wrong. It’s the MAGA TRUTH: they hate the people, but love the culture."
"Critics were quick to bring up Ingraham’s infamous 'Shut up and dribble' comment directed at LeBron James in 2018. The Hard Truth being shared online is that MAGA media figures often target Black individuals for their political opinions while simultaneously 'using' Black culture to appear relatable or 'hip' to a younger audience."
reply to @lauraingraham/Instagram
They added:
"The dance aired during the same week Ingraham began questioning if President Trump was 'fully briefed' on the risks of the Iran war. Some analysts suggest these 'viral moments' are used to soften her image as she begins to break away from the administration’s 'Stone Age' military rhetoric."
"The hashtag GriddyGate began trending on April 2, 2026, with users pointing out that the administration is 'whacking away' at Black voting power through redistricting while their media surrogates are on TV 'impersonating' the culture they are systematically undermining."
On X, one person noted:
"I distinctly remember her making fun of Kamala dancing."
In August of 2024 during the presidential campaign, Ingraham criticized then Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris for dancing during a segment of Ingraham Angle.
When she shared a clip on her Instagram, Ingraham wrote:
"Kamala Harris can dance and meme all she wants, but it won’t put food on the table or pay tuition bills."
"Americans need real leadership, not empty gestures."

When popular X account Wu Tang is for the children asked:
"Wtf is Laura Ingraham doing"
...more than one user threw Ingraham’s Harris diss back at her.

Others had their own thoughts on Ingraham’s performance.
Oddly, Ingraham has never used her platform to critique MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's dancing.
One wonders why.
