"I'm gonna point out that there is a long pattern of him ideologically laundering terrible ideas over the course of the last two years, ranging from traveling to Russia to sniff the bread and explain why the Russian regime is actually wonderful, to saying last week the Venezuelan regime of Nicolas Maduro is actually not that bad because they're being attacked by, in his words, globo-homo.'"
"Kelly replied: Tucker's made the point I'm not gonna try to be Tucker's defender but he's made the point that Maduro is cultural conservative. Who gives a sh*t!? fired back Shapiro incredulously. The guy's a communist dictator! He continued: I don't give a sh*t whether he's anti-LGBTQ rights! This is the number one thing about Nicolas Maduro? You know how far down the list you have to get before you can get to anything remotely recommendable about Nicolas Maduro?"
Ben Shapiro angrily confronted Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson over Carlson's recent defenses of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and other actions deemed morally compromised. Shapiro accused Carlson of ideologically laundering extreme ideas over two years, citing trips to Russia and praise for authoritarian regimes as examples. Kelly offered a partial defense, suggesting Maduro's cultural conservatism as a mitigating factor. Shapiro rejected that framing, insisting Maduro's status as a communist dictator and human-rights abuser outweighs any socially conservative positions. The exchange highlighted deep fractures within conservative media over tolerating or excusing authoritarian figures and rhetoric.
