"Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly blamed Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro and CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss for rising anti-Semitism on Monday, accusing them of making anti-Semites with their attempts to censor discussion about Israel. During an interview with Vanity Fair Washington correspondent and former Mediaite editor-in-chief Aidan McLaughlin, Kelly acknowledged that the country is turning and that young Republicans are turning on Israel."
"Kelly likened Shapiro's demand that conservatives condemn Candace Owens and other commentators who criticize Israel to left-wing purity tests and virtue-signalling. I never posted the black square and I never raised my fist at a restaurant, she said, in reference to the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. And I'm certainly not going to condemn the people Ben Shapiro demands I condemn in order to be in his imaginary club. Denounce, denounce, condemn, disassociate.' F*ck you!"
Megyn Kelly blamed Ben Shapiro and Bari Weiss for rising antisemitism, accusing them of creating antisemites through attempts to censor discussion and criticism of Israel. Kelly argued that demands by conservative figures to publicly denounce critics of Israel mirror left-wing purity tests and virtue-signaling. Kelly rejected calls to condemn commentators like Candace Owens to gain acceptance in an ideological circle, invoking Black Lives Matter protest gestures as a contrast. Kelly accused Shapiro of putting Israel first and of betraying conservative unity by attacking critics, and noted that Shapiro lashed out at Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and Steve Bannon at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest.
