MAGA TV host rants about ‘woke’ and ‘racist’ Wicked earlier than calling Ariana Grande ‘Hispanic’

MAGA media personality Gina Loudon claimed that blockbuster movie Wicked is “offensive” and “racist” against white people, shortly before incorrectly describing its star Ariana Grande as “obviously Hispanic.”

Loudon, who was a member of the 2020 Donald Trump campaign’s media advisory board and is a patron at Mar-a-Lago, said she was “kind of sick” of Hollywood storylines that portrayed white people as “dumb and evil.”

She discussed the movie, in which Grande appears opposite Cynthia Erivo, on Tuesday during a show on the far-right cable network Real America’s Voice.

“Wicked, the movie broke box office records,” Loudon said. “I saw it, but I was very excited at the idea of seeing the interpretation of this. But I should have known it’s Holly-weird – I should have known they would try to make it woke in the ways that they could think of.

“Let’s just start with the fact that they have Ariana Grande, who is obviously a Hispanic woman, playing the part of a ditzy, blonde, white, really villain when it comes right down to it for this particular movie.

“The racism and the racial appropriation I just thought was offensive, frankly. All white people aren’t dumb and evil, and I just get kind of sick of that storyline and I feel like that’s where it started, and it kind of lost me there and it was three hours long.”

Singer-songwriter Grande, 31, is in fact Italian-American on both sides of her family, not Latino or Hispanic. Last year, both her brother and her mother obtained Italian passports.

As well as her platform as a conservative media commentator and Trump advisor, Loudon was also co-chair of Women for Trump 2020.

She is married to John Loudon, a former Missouri state senator, and is the mother of Bo Loudon – a conservative content creator and good friend of Barron Trump.
