Anti-woke pundit Matt Walsh may have become too famous for his own good.
In a hilarious clip from his new film, viewers can watch the moment Walsh realizes that he’s all too easily recognized these days.
She shared it exclusively with The Mail. It’s from her upcoming release Am I Racist?, which mocks racial justice warriors.
He had infiltrated a support group called ‘Grieving White Privilege, Anti-racist Allyship Training’, posing as Steven.
But he made the mistake of wearing his signature outfit: a plaid shirt, a thick beard and a pompadour.
Filmmaker Matt Walsh was easily recognizable with his signature plaid shirt, beard and pompadour.
For his new documentary, Walsh posed as a rookie DEI consultant in a tweed jacket and man bun.
At the session, one workshop attendee noticed that among them was Walsh, a leading voice on the American right.
The atmosphere quickly turned awkward and bitter.
But the cameras kept rolling.
“I want to know that my physical safety, yours and everyone else’s here is okay,” a female attendant said, her voice shaking.
Breeshia Wade, the black woman leading the group of white attendees, urged Walsh to leave.
Eventually, the members called the police and Walsh had to end his filming.
But not before the 38-year-old made a few jokes at the expense of the anti-racism conference.
“Is it because I said I had 17 black friends?” Walsh asked.
‘It could have been 15. It depends on how you count them.’
Before leaving the room, Walsh suggested that he needed a “better disguise.”
In an email exchange with The Mail, Walsh continued to joke about the incident.
“I wanted to confront my whiteness and they called the police,” the filmmaker joked.
“That doesn’t seem like a safe space to me.”
Walsh is likely recognized for his successful 2022 documentary about radical transgender ideas, called What Is a Woman?
Back then, I could easily act undercover.
Not anymore.
Walsh’s anti-trans film and eponymous show on the Daily Wire made him a minor celebrity, with 2.9 million followers on X and praise from the platform’s owner, Elon Musk.
Thanks to his disguise, Walsh lands an interview with Robin DiAngelo, the leading anti-racism scholar who coined the phrase “white fragility.”
The film takes aim at the growing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) industry in the United States.
Fortunately, Walsh had plenty of examples of liberal dress to choose from.
She recalled a hair-raising past interview with Patrick Grzanka, a gender expert at the University of Tennessee.
Walsh decided to imitate Grzanka’s outfit: a tweed jacket, skinny jeans and a blue shirt.
To top it off, he sported a man bun, the ultimate symbol of liberal metrosexuality.
For the rest of the 1-hour, 41-minute film about racism, Walsh goes undercover as a ponytailed liberal.
He plays the role of a bumbling rookie diversity consultant who repeats buzzwords related to racial justice.
She breaks into the closed-door progressive dinner club Race2Dinner, where white guests pay thousands of dollars to be lectured about white supremacy by co-founders Regina Jackson and Saira Rao.
He also sits down with Robin DiAngelo, the prominent anti-racist scholar who coined the phrase “white fragility.”
The film is a show of contempt for the massive diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) industry that grew after the police killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, in Minneapolis in 2020.
DEI advocates say it helps more women and minorities get into jobs and colleges they’ve long struggled to access.
But Walsh and others scoff at an exercise in rule-enforcement that ends up robbing straight white men of opportunities.
Meanwhile, they say, DEI consultants happily pocket six-figure salaries while conducting absurd workshops on microaggressions.
Walsh also appeared at the progressive dinner club Race2Dinner, where white guests pay thousands of dollars to be lectured on white supremacy.
In one scene, Walsh in his alter ego offers a workshop introducing attendees to “grief healing.”
“Everything about this film exposes the ‘anti-racism’ movement as a giant scam,” Walsh said.
The clip, which was shared exclusively with The Mail, is “just the beginning”, he added.
“People will be surprised when they see the rest.”
The film is The Daily Wire’s first theatrical release from an in-house production.
The company’s co-chief executive, Jeremy Boreing, said he wanted to “reach every corner of America, not just The Daily Wire’s core audience or political conservatives.”
“DEI is the next pillar of the awakened mind virus that is about to collapse,” he added.
It opens in theaters on September 13.
