'Trust fund nepo baby' Donald Trump Jr. slammed by conservative [View all]

In his column for the Daily Beast, conservative Matt Lewis dropped the hammer on Don Trump Jr. for his attacks on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's appeal for more funding for his country's battle with the Russian invaders.

In particular, Lewis took exception with the son of the former president calling the widely admired Ukrainian leader a "welfare queen."

As Lewis pointed out, Don Jr., has no room to talk when his fortunes have been directly tied to who his father is and his famous last name.

"Put aside the irony of this trust fund 'nepo baby' calling someone else a welfare queen. The bigger irony is that we are at the end of 2022, a year in which Zelensky’s refusal to flee Ukraine ahead of a Russian invasion probably constitutes the most significant act of bravery and heroism," Lewis wrote. "The term 'welfare queen' was popularized in 1976 when Ronald Reagan described Illinois newspaper accounts of a Chicago woman named Linda Taylor, who bilked the government out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Although Taylor could credibly be called a real-life villain (whose alleged sins were far worse than mere welfare fraud), the term became commonly used as a racist stereotype to suggest that African Americans on public assistance are all lazy con artists."
