With taxpayer funding of NPR one presidential signature away, Republican Senator Eric Schmitt marked the Senate’s rescission vote by reading tweets from NPR CEO Katherine Maher. To say these tweets are the rantings of an unhinged, self-hating Democrat doesn’t do them justice. They have to be heard to be believed.
Take it away, Mr. Schmitt. (WATCH)
Last night, the Senate officially voted to end taxpayer funding for NPR.
To celebrate, we read some of the NPR CEO’s most deranged tweets.
Enjoy. pic.twitter.com/HkZibmJPMT

This is hysterically funny! Great post, thanks sir!

They really are hilarious.
Of course, one tweet stood out above the rest, due to its pretentiousness. Wait, you don’t eat roadside Baklava every day?
“Baklava with Kamala”
Too bad Maher wasn’t a campaign consultant. Nuts. 😂

Where do you get Baklava on a roadside stand?

Roadside baklava? Because that’s where the honey is?

There’s nothing like driving across middle America and seeing a Baklava stand on the side of the road. Sumptuous eating while cruising with the top down on your electric Audi and listening to NPR.
Posters are thrilled that NPR’s defunding occurred while Maher was at the wheel of the left-wing propaganda machine.
I love that this happened on @krmaher ‘s watch. She has no further than the mirror to look for why her organization lost its funding.

For fun (not)I went to her page and read some of her posts. Can honestly say I’ve never seen anyone so full of self importance as K Maher. You did good defunding that Democrat site. Thank you

Just. Wow. She’s a brainwashed imbecile

Yep, she’s a Democrat! How did you ever guess?
Commenters have some closing thoughts and observations about NPR and Maher.
Great to see Congress defund NPR—no more taxpayer money for their Marxist lectures on “whiteness.”

NPR & PBS = BYE BYE $$$

Another conductor on the Crazy Train trying to troll for passengers buying into their woke message.
She should check out the latest Democrat “disapproval level” ratings. Might be worth re-thinking NPR’s political strategy.

Maher would be slapstick comedy under any other circumstance–except for her downright earnestness.
— Forbes Tuttle (@ForbesTutt10128) July 17, 2025
Catherine Maher is a Trump-hating Left-wing race baiter.
— Lyndon W. Cook (@LyndonWCook) July 17, 2025
So NPR is an insane asylum. 🤭

You’ve just made the case for deporting liberal white women. 🤣
— EllieMae (@ScrollingThruBS) July 17, 2025
If only it were that simple. We’re stuck with AWFLs (affluent white female liberals) like Maher, but at least we taxpayers are no longer paying her to espouse her leftist drivel.
