Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson on SiriusXM's 'The Megyn Kelly Show' addressed the divide on the right on Israel and called out Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens for criticizing the situation on the ground in Gaza. -snip- VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Most of the evangelical community I know is still very pro-Israel.
