CNN host Jake Tapper has strongly criticized supporters of Candace Owens, labeling them as 'bigoted' amid her ongoing feud with Ben Shapiro. The controversy escalated after Owens was seen displaying a 19th-century book widely regarded as antisemitic and using it to attack Shapiro's faith during her show. Shapiro, speaking at the Turning Point USA AmericaFest event, condemned Owens for spreading conspiracy theories and accused fellow conservatives of cowardice for not denouncing her rhetoric. The feud has drawn attention to deep divisions within the conservative movement, with Owens' viewership growing as she continues to push controversial claims about the death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Owens has distanced herself from mainstream conservatism, claiming to seek the truth behind Kirk's assassination and expressing a preference for being labeled a 'moderate.'
