US First lady Melania Trump was named Patriot of the Year at FOX Nation’s annual Patriot Awards ceremony Thursday night, but the "Ruthless" podcast co-hosts had thoughts on who would win a bizarro version,
Fox News reports.
"Ruthless," hosted by Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook, aims to bring fun into conservative politics.
Fox News Digital caught up with the fellas backstage at the Patriot Awards after they walked the red carpet with a simple question: If the first lady is Patriot of the Year, then who is the least patriotic American in 2025?
"It’s a toss-up between, basically every Democrat who is in Washington right now. Very, very close to call. Ilhan Omar is my vote," Ashbrook responded.
Smug chimed in, "I’ll say Chuck Schumer, who has had no reins on the hands of this party and allowed it to become the laughingstock of the world."
Duncan said he planned to say Schumer, but Smug stole his thunder.
"I guess I’ll go Hakeem Jeffries — as we know him, Temu Barack Obama," Duncan said, referring to the nickname that essentially calls Jeffries a knockoff version of the former president.
Holmes enjoyed that choice but took a broader approach.
"There’s an awful lot of ‘moderate’ Democrats that aren’t acting very moderate. I think it’s a group effort this year," Holmes said.
"There’s a whole bunch of people that try to fashion themselves in the middle that are the least patriotic that I’ve ever seen," he continued. "They won’t even open up a government when they know people are suffering."
