Wednesday, March 26, was a bad day for woke ideologues whose leftist propaganda machinery has been oiled up by taxpayer money for many years. In a congressional hearing, the liberal head of National Public Radio (NPR) Katherine Maher, was put on blast by Republicans for her race-baiting and anti-American views shared on public platforms.
The House DOGE Committee hearing, chaired by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, lasted well over two hours in which top executives from NPR and PBS were questioned by committee members. The Republicans on the committee grilled the executives from the two public broadcasting organizations for poisoning their viewers with radical leftist political propaganda. Greene particularly expressed outrage over unhealthy and sleazy content, like transgenderism, targeting children.
Katherine Maher of NPR, in particular, was taken to task by Greene and Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas. Greene read Maher’s statement that accused America of being “addicted to white supremacy.”
On his turn, Congressman Gill quoted from some of Maher’s tweets she made over the years to confront her over her radical leftist views including the accusation that America is addicted to white supremacy and America being a nation of “black plunder and white democracy.” Maher used the familiar “I don’t recall” and outright denial of some statements. Gill then showed printouts of her exact tweets to contradict her denial, leaving Maher struggling to make up a coherent excuse.
Congressman William Timmons of South Carolina told Maher, “You are a rabid progressive,” straight to her face while questioning her about having 87 Democrats but not a single Republican on the editorial board of NPR.
The exchange between Gill and Maher went viral on X with conservatives posting screenshots of Maher’s tweets that called for reparations for black people. Gill himself posted one of Maher’s tweets from 2020 about “black plunder and white democracy.”

Elon Musk, who heads Trump’s DOGE initiative, chimed in the social media buzz about Maher’s woke activism. He posted a 2024 video clip of Maher’s talk wherein she called reverence for truth a distraction from “getting important things done.” Musk asked whether taxpayer money should fund an organization run by people like her.
A MAGA supporter under the name Trumpian Cat Lady posted a story link from January 2024 in which legal scholar Jonathan Turley slammed Maher for deleting her racially charged tweets bashing white people.
Some X users put on their sleuth boots to connect the dots left out of the DOGE hearing. Publius, the account of an independent journalist, dug out the connection between Maher and the recent Signal app incident of Trump officials accidentally leaking sensitive information to a leftist journalist. Publius shared a screenshot showing that Maher is also currently the Chair of the Board of Signal. He asked, “What are the odds?”
