Ben Shapiro confronted Megyn Kelly during a live event in Jacksonville, expressing outrage over her defense of Tucker Carlson following Carlson's controversial interview with Nick Fuentes. Shapiro, a longtime critic of Carlson, accused him of promoting dangerous ideas and glossing over the actions of figures like Nicolás Maduro and Nick Fuentes. The heated exchange escalated when Kelly attempted to justify Carlson's views on Venezuela, prompting Shapiro to dismiss her arguments and condemn both Carlson's and Candace Owens' recent actions. The discussion highlighted deep divisions among prominent conservative commentators over issues ranging from foreign policy to the handling of conspiracy theories.
