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.

It’s Not a war of choice, Hamas forced it on Israel, killing Americans in the process.
Bigdikwad is just projecting. Or, an FBI troll simply trying to put together data to paint FRepub as a pack of terrorists.
I’d put him and all of his synchophants in the same category as CNN.
Mom Lisa McNear Lombardi was an heiress to the McNear family fortune of Petaluma, CA. A century ago, the McNears were the largest landowners in Sonoma County. Lisa was a spoiled rich hippie... Hamlin school for girls, debutante balls, Berkeley a and then a career as an artist.
You can see in this photo that she was the spittin’ image of Tucker...

Can you imagine the pain that 6-year-old Tucker and his younger brother endured when one day mom walked out the door and never came back?
Shirley you don’t mean to suggest you can do without Taylor Swift!?
Even with cherry picked comments meant to vilify him, Tucker’s main point is criticism of the media that shows no passion , no concern of the open borders policy that kills so many. That’s not whataboutism. Good to show alarm about both, stupid for Ian not to point out that the disruption happening inside of our own borders is fueled by the militants who have been waved in.
You’re pretty judgmental there, Sparky.
Why do you care so much about that? Why so obsessed? It’s not your concern.
Sorry for your loss, but happy for your blessings.
“I’m not seeing Tucker Carlson as an antisemite. I’ve met too many real ones.”
Thank you for. your sane remark.
Uniparty using the usual tactics to try to stop the movement to save this country. On the other hand, I wouldn’t mind seeing this level of indignation whenever someone insults the White Christians of the world; it’s crude and dishonest but it works.
I was talking about Ukraine. That is a war of choice....one precipitated by 2 color revolutions by the Deep State to change the government in Kiev and Western Leaders’ insistence that Ukraine join NATO despite being warned year after year that that was a red line for Russia. The Neocons very much chose to have a war there.
Tell Tucker to return the $15 million he accepted from Omeed Malik.
Got you.
I’m not sure Tucker is a total isolationist. I see him more as anti-Globalist. He know the Western globalist elites have bought out our politicians and have forced policies that benefit them to the detriment of the American people.
While Trump was in the lead in AZ.
You sound sane to me
”Fox called Az for Biden.”
‘While Trump was in the lead in AZ.‘
While Trump was in the lead. Yes.
And nothing he said was anti- Semitic, although I still prefer Pt’s fp approach to his.
Sorry, the Iranians.
