The "MAGA gang" is a term referring to supporters of the MAGA movement, which stands for "Make America Great Again." This political movement emerged during Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and centers on policies promoting "America first," economic protectionism, and reduced immigration, often associated with traditional American values as defined by its supporters. The MAGA movement is known for its combative stance and skepticism toward mainstream media, often perceiving it as biased against them. The term "MAGA gang" has recently been used in media commentary to describe members of this movement, especially in the context of political events or controversies related to Trump supporters. For example, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel used the term when discussing political reactions to the murder of a right-wing activist, highlighting how some MAGA supporters were trying to distance themselves from the perpetrator while also using the situation for political gain.
