This is Why Ben Shapiro Turned on Megyn Kelly 🤯
Megyn Kelly claims Ben Shapiro turned on her at a Turning Point event in December, ostensibly over her refusal to condemn Candace Owens, but she argues the real reason was her continued friendship with Tucker Carlson. She further asserts that the demand to condemn Owens was ultimately a proxy battle over Israel criticism, not about a personal dispute involving Erica Kirk.
Summary
In this clip, Megyn Kelly recounts a falling out with Ben Shapiro at a Turning Point event in December. She states that Shapiro labeled her a coward, framing the conflict as being about her unwillingness to publicly call out Candace Owens over something Owens said about Erica Kirk. However, Kelly disputes this framing entirely, arguing the real source of tension was her refusal to end her friendship with Tucker Carlson, something Shapiro had allegedly been pressuring her about for weeks.
Kelly adds another layer to the story, revealing that Erica Kirk herself had asked Kelly to help broker peace between Kirk and another party, to which Kelly agreed. She expresses frustration at being publicly shamed for not condemning Owens, suggesting that Shapiro and his supporters do not know the full context of the situation.
Finally, Kelly argues that from the night of the event onward, the controversy was weaponized — turned into a litmus test where refusing to condemn Owens made someone 'bad.' She concludes that the real motivation behind the pressure to denounce Owens had nothing to do with Erica Kirk, but was instead about Owens' role as a prominent critic of Israel, making the entire episode a proxy conflict in a broader ideological fight over the Israel debate within conservative media.
