Overview
- Kelly escalated her clash with Weiss by vowing on X that there is “more truth coming,” following a Vanity Fair interview where she blamed pro-Israel conservatives for rising antisemitism.
- Shapiro’s AmericaFest speech labeled Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Steve Bannon as conspiracy traffickers and urged conservatives to repudiate them.
- Weiss amplified Shapiro’s remarks by publishing his speech in The Free Press, which Kelly characterized as a coordinated attack.
- Kelly declined to denounce Owens and said she favored Owens asking if Israel was involved in Charlie Kirk’s killing, while adding that she does not believe Israel did it.
- The ADL called Kelly’s comments dangerous, saying accusing Jews of “making antisemites” is victim-blaming and that calling Shapiro “Israel first” invokes an antisemitic dual-loyalty trope.
