Kyle Mann, the editor in chief of The Babylon Bee, defended his satire on X, explaining, "I think maybe you just didn't get the joke. It’s that Candace Owens was horrified to learn Christmas was started by the birth of a Jew. Hope this helps." His response highlights the intention behind the satirical article and his perspective on the reception of humor in politically charged contexts.
Candace Owens expressed her frustration with The Babylon Bee, saying, "Everyone is just starting to see the agenda behind your jokes. Hope this helps." This response indicates her perception that the jokes from the site have underlying anti-Christian sentiments, which she believes are becoming more apparent to the public.
Owens criticized the lack of humor in the satire directed at Christians, stating, "We aren't asking for it to be censored. We're asking for it to be funny... People simply aren't finding them as funny as they used to be." This insight captures her view on comedy's effectiveness and the shifting landscape of satire.
In a further rebuttal, Owens argued, "They never make jokes about Jews. That's part of the feedback... Are we required to think the Babylon Bee is funny when they take so many shots at Christians?" This comment reveals her belief in a selective bias in humor regarding different groups.
