The ideological sewer known as social media was alight this week with the latest escalation in a feud that has been brewing for months, if not years: the Candace Owens versus Ben Shapiro showdown. This particular chapter began after Shapiro was recorded describing Owens’s weeks of “faux sophistication” regarding the Hamas terrorist attacks on Oct. 7 as “disgraceful.”
Owens apparently then cracked open Google and frantically copied and pasted a verse from Matthew that ends with, “You cannot serve both God and money,” to which Shapiro responded , “Candace, if you feel that taking money from The Daily Wire somehow comes between you and God, by all means quit.”
Now, one of the primary criticisms of Candace Owens’s rhetoric since Oct. 7 is that it’s intentionally vague, with carefully worded pseudo-analyses designed to either enrage or delight its readers without having to stand by a specific viewpoint or principle.
And as her amazingly timed interview with Tucker Carlson showed, she learned from the best.
During her interview, which began with Carlson comparing the treatment of Candace Owens to Galileo, the pair touched on a number of controversial subjects, including Ben Shapiro’s comments, Nikki Haley’s attitude toward free speech and Israel, and predictions for the 2024 election.
But the glue that held each of these segments loosely together was Tucker Carlson’s own brand of vile, conspiratorial, and often antisemitic garbage, masked using his trademark strategy of fake cluelessness and supposedly good-natured questions.

Spot on and remember the media always notices a color in a debate Tucker was the wrong one.
Tucker hates neocons and their endless warmongering which is bankrupting our country. It’s no surprise neocons like yourself don’t like him.
RIGHT ON!
I like him when I agree with him, and I don’t like him when I don’t agree with him.
I am disappointed with conservatives who question helping Israel against Hamas. To me it’s clear cut.
I really hope a grand piano drops out of the sky into his head
He is evil and pure garbage
He will not be trumps vice president, that is wishful thinking by freepers
To bad suckers , you’ve been played again and again.
Why did Tucker go missing in November and December 2020 while the election was being stolen from President Trump?
Just asking questions...
I didn’t see the interview, and I like Carlson on a lot of issues, but this is a good editorial I’m inclined to agree with. The October 7 atrocity is its own thing. No pretext for comparing it to more directly domestic issues is persuasive to me. While I believe no nation, ethnicity or lineage is beyond criticism, it’s true that folks who criticize Israel and Jews tend to go a special kind of bonkers with it. The fact that October 7 has become a celebration to such critics demonstrates that.
Because he was to busy demonizing trump behind his back
Only after he got fired by fox did he sucker up to trump
Tucker is a piece of turd that should not be trusted
Tucker’s response to his Mom dying?
“I went to dinner.”
Cold.
Now I know why most here think that you're an idiot. I once didn't think that.
Tucker is spot on - he was calling out the NeoCon war-mongers long before October 7th.
Now, since some of the war mongers happen to be Jewish - it’s suddenly “antisemitic” to call a war monger a war monger.
No one at Fox questioned the election, and precious few Repub officeholders questioned it out loud. It’s still taboo over at RNC. I’m disgusted with all of them.
Why are you such a war mongering neocon?
Just asking questions...
He was controlled by the Murdochs. Now he isn't. Pretty easy question to answer.
Tucker Carlson ‘told colleague he ‘hated Trump passionately’ and was excited about not having to cover him after 2020 election loss
Tucker's Mom left the family and moved to France when Tucker was six.
Another easy question to answer.
Because the war mongers like Marcus want to war monger and anyone who gets in their way needs to be slandered. It’s their way of getting power and money and spreading their putrid hate of civilization.
Notice that responding to a massacre is war-mongering. Not committing a massacre, but responding to it.
