- Conservative columnist Kurt Schlichter tweeted at the National Republican Congressional Committee, calling out the organization's demanding fundraising texts.
- The NRCC responded, arguing that the text was effective at raising money and calling Schlichter a "Karen," a term broadly used to refer to white women who are accused of exhibiting entitled and racist behavior.
- Conservatives including Tucker Carlson condemned the NRCC's use of the word, with Carlson calling it an "ethnic slur."

Conservative organizations, as well as the president's reelection campaign, have come under fire recently for sending incensed, demanding fundraising texts. As Business Insider's Jake Lahut reported, the Trump campaign's recent fundraising communications have gotten "very in-your-face and awkwardly personal," and other conservative groups like the National Republican Congressional Committee have apparently adopted a similar playbook.
Today, conservative columnist Kurt Schlichter addressed the NRCC in a tweet, attaching a screenshot of a text from the organization that reads, "We texted you TWiCE. Why did you let your 500% Trump House Patriot match expire AGAIN? We'll give you 1 more chance. 500% match for 1 HR." In his tweet, Schlichter asked a simple question: "Hey @ NRCC — WTF is wrong with you?"
