Not to be confused with the former The Daily Show correspondent, Matt Walsh.

Matt Walsh is an anti-feminist blogger who runs the aptly named Matt Walsh Blog. Most of his blogs involve him mischaracterizing and insulting things that he doesn't agree with or like. Especially targeted are things like abortion, probably his favorite subject, as well as immigration, gender equality and feminist-oriented causes, such as the pro-choice movement. On top of all this, he also writes for the 'News' source known as The Blaze. He also runs a podcast and is active in social media, mostly reposting articles from right wing media on his favorite topics with short, often one word, comments.

Walsh currently hosts The Matt Walsh Show at The Daily Wire.

Wingnuttery

Abortion

He is anti-abortion, saying that "life is precious" (not quite). He has supported Alabama's 2019 bill that outlaws abortion in all cases, including rape and incest, as he believes forcing 12 year old rape victims to carry to term would help them get their crime discovered and increase the rapist's accountability, and abortion would otherwise destroy the evidence and encourage the rapist to continue molesting without consequence. He bolsters such a terrible take with Planned Parenthood conspiracies such as linking to an article from a pro-life propaganda site that accuses Planned Parenthood of a sex abuse cover up, and again using the same website to claim that "[r]apists use abortion to cover their tracks and Planned Parenthood helps them." He also claims that "[t]he deadliest southern border in the world is the birth canal".

Transphobia

Matt Walsh is also very well known for his fervent transphobia, believing that being trans is a mental illness comparable to schizophrenia, stating that "[t]ransgenderism is a myth that will lead to sexual deviancy" and advocacy of pedophilia, claiming all trans people are narcissists, blaming acceptance of trans people for suicide rates of trans people, and considering trans allies to be "biology deniers".

Mental health

Walsh does not seem to believe in the theory that chemical imbalances lead to depression, which it is strongly implied that he denies that antidepressants can treat it. While claiming that suicide is a choice, he also claims that the notion of chemical imbalances causing depression has supposedly been "thoroughly debunked over and over again", then proceeding to cite how drug companies bring in hundreds of millions of dollars treating it, with Walsh not even bothering to explain how what is supposedly a lie can make companies that much money.

Voting rights

Matt Walsh staunchly endorses stripping people of the right to vote if he considers them to be "ignorant" or "non-contributing," and specifically only wants people to vote if they pay taxes and have passed an 8th grade civics exam.

Misogyny

Walsh presents a very cliched view of gender roles, often attacking men who he disagrees with as unmanly. On the flip side he often expresses disdain at women in positions of authority or making public statements. Many elements of pop culture such as music, entertainment, and sports, especially women's sports, are viewed as emasculating and threatening to the traditional place of men.

Homophobia

“”The number of kids who identify as LGBT, especially trans and bisexual, has absolutely skyrocketed. If you think this is a natural or organic development, you're deluded. The media, Hollywood, and the school system actively recruit children into the LGBT ranks.

—Walsh displaying his extremely logical bigoted and conspiratorial thought process

Walsh is anti-gay marriage, claiming that Western culture is being damaged by the Supreme Court making it legal for two consenting adults to get married regardless of gender, as he genuinely believes that marriage is the foundation of civilization and that the goal of gay rights campaigners is not to achieve equal rights for gay people, but to destroy "traditional marriage". He has also claimed that same-sex marriage is invalid because gay people can't produce children (despite having no problem with straight people who can't have children getting married).

He is on record as saying that you can change your sexuality, in an insanely homophobic article in which he described homosexuality as a "temptation".

Walsh has also blamed the infamous Catholic Church scandal on "gay priests," a defense which can be viewed as either homophobic or pedophilia apologia.

If his Twitter is to be believed, Walsh believes in the gay agenda conspiracy theory that states children are being brainwashed into becoming LGBT:

The number of supposedly "trans" children and young adults is TEN TIMES HIGHER than the number among older generations. Do you think that's because a lot more people are born in the wrong body these days (whatever the hell that even means)? No, this is social engineering.

Hit pieces

Walsh spends much of his bandwidth attacking a handful of progressive figures, such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and organizations that back progressive causes, or in some case simply do not hold positions as extreme as his own. Bizarrely, he has also repeatedly tried to smear Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as radical Marxist extremists, when a cursory look at their actual records and agendas would leave genuine Marxists sorely disappointed at best; in Walsh’s mind, everyone who doesn’t support the GOP is a commie, no matter how staunchly pro-capitalist they’ve always been.

Stopped clock moments
