Comedian Bert Kreischer Says Only Neutral Accent Speakers Should Vote in Elections

What was said

"If you have an accent, you can't vote in this country. You think I'm talking about Spanish accent, uh, British accent. I'm talking about Southern accent, New York accent, Boston accent. Fuck yeah. Only neutral accents can vote. People that sound like me. You can be Black, but you got to have a regular Black accent. A regular Black accent. Yeah, it can be. Listen, there's— but once other Black people can't understand you, you can't vote."

Bert Kreischer presented a satirical hot take on the podcast, arguing that only Americans with neutral accents should be allowed to vote, excluding regional dialects from the South, New York, or Boston. He clarified this wasn't about ethnicity but communication style, suggesting even Black Americans would lose voting rights if their accent became unintelligible to other Black people. The comedians framed this as an example of the kind of provocative content that drives engagement on shows like Subway Takes.
