Conservative commentator Matt Walsh raised eyebrows at the Democratic National Convention after crashing the event in a ‘white dudes for Kamala Harris’ disguise.
Walsh sparked backlash from Democrats after he was spotted in his woke liberal disguise – mocking them with a ponytail-wig and ‘Kamala Harris for president’ hat, as he wandered around the United Center in Chicago on Tuesday.
In one scene shared widely across social media, Walsh ambled into the background as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was interviewed by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
After Walsh was seen being escorted out as he attempted to gatecrash the interview, liberal viewers shared their outrage at Walsh’s mocking of their convention.
One commented: ‘Why is (Matt Walsh) walking around the DNC in disguise? Straight up weirdo behavior.’
Walsh’s undercover look appears to be a part of his upcoming political satire film ‘Am I Racist?’, where the pundit antagonizes an anti-racism workshop in one scene.

After being recognized from his previous film, ‘What Is A Woman?’, Walsh decided to adopt the same look as someone he interviewed in that flick for his upcoming movie.
Mimicking University of Tennessee gender expert Patrick Grzanka, he kept his thick beard but sported a man-bun to poke fun at long-haired liberals.
While the disguise may have helped him for the rest of the upcoming film – including role-playing a bumbling rookie diversity consultant who spouts racial justice buzzwords – his efforts at the DNC were less than covert.
He was quickly recognized by fans and critics, with some true-Democrats taking issue with his mocking of their adoration of Kamala Harris.
Alongside his ponytail and red Harris cap, Walsh also plastered his blazer with stickers of the Democratic nominee’s platform, including ‘Freedom from gun violence’ and ‘Vote to fix the court.’
While fans of Walsh felt his efforts were ‘hilarious’, his appearance at the DNC was far from welcome by Kamala Harris supporters as they urged attendees not to feed him content for his new documentary.
‘(Matt Walsh) is at the DNC posing as a delegate. DO NOT TALK TO HIM,’ one critic said on X.
‘Call him out! Tell security if you can… spread the word!!! #hatemonger #fake #loser’
Another shared images of Walsh as they branded him ‘weird’ and ‘a creep.’
While not everyone appeared to understand Walsh’s gimmick, others quickly recognized his ponytail look as part of his new anti-woke documentary.
One viewer joked that he is a ‘man on a mission to understand his internalized racism – where better to do so than at the DNC?’
Walsh gave DailyMail.com an exclusive look at his new documentary this month, and shared a clip showing the moment he realized he had to go undercover for some scenes.
He’d snuck himself into a support group called ‘Grieving White Privilege, Ant-racist Allyship Training’, pretending to be named Steven.
But he made the mistake of sporting his trademark attire — a plaid shirt, with thick beard and quiff.
In the session, an attendee realized they had one of America’s leading right-wing voices in their midst, which quickly turned the atmosphere sour.
‘I want to know that my physical safety and yours and everybody else’s here is okay,’ said a woman attendee, her voice trembling.
Breeshia Wade, the black woman leading the group of white attendees, urged Walsh to leave – before other members threatened to call the police.
In an email to The Mail, Walsh poked fun at the incident as he quipped: ‘I wanted to confront my whiteness, and they called the cops on me… that doesn’t seem like a safe space to me.’
It’s actually alarming that the party that makes so much noise about protecting democracy has installed a candidate who dropped out of the 2020 primary, and makes many of their campaign events invitation-only. (While a Trump rally is accessible to a weirdo with a range finder).It’s actually surprising Walsh got in.
Does anyone remember on Jan. 6, their were FBI men going around with mega hats and trying to fool everyone., They were the ones who started it all. Too bad if the Democrats can not take it. They can put anything they want out there and if anyone believes in their policies, just crazy like the rest of the Democrats,
You’ve got to love it!!!
