In recent weeks, both Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens have been criticized for what has been called anti-semitic comments or tropes. Megyn Kelly says that doesn’t mean she feels she needs to distance herself from those two personalities.
Over the weekend, both Mark Levin and Dinesh D’Souza shared their displeasure with comments made by Carlson about why the United States needs to “separate” from Israel as long as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in power.
Additionally, Candace Owens has repeatedly come under fire for what has been labeled as anti-semitic comments, as well as being accused of peddling conspiracy theories about the death of her friend and former colleague, Charlie Kirk, in the wake of his assassination.
On social media, users had questioned Kelly if she would be distancing herself from those two figures.
She made no bones about the fact that that wouldn’t be happening.
“I have no obligation to ‘separate’ myself from anyone,” she wrote. “I run my own media company and my own show. That show is where I express my own opinions and I will decide what/what not to opine on. If you need me to condemn Candace or Tucker for their opinions in order to listen to me, then I may not be for you. He’s a close friend and she is under enough pressure (without) gratuitous shots from me. My fight is with the left, not these two.”
Megyn Kelly is preparing to embark on a 10-city tour of the United States, bringing her program to live audiences. Tucker Carlson is one of several guests scheduled to appear on the tour. Kelly made appearances with Carlson as he underwent a similar endeavor in 2024.
