Internal Conflicts Surface at Conservative Event
A recent gathering of influential conservative personalities in the United States has laid bare profound disagreements about the future path of the political right.
During the event organized by Turning Point USA, commentator Ben Shapiro publicly criticized figures within the MAGA movement, including Tucker Carlson. Shapiro condemned their dissemination of unfounded conspiracy theories and their associations with individuals holding antisemitic views.
In a subsequent appearance, Carlson responded by ridiculing Shapiro's remarks.
Struggle for Influence Ahead of 2028
The public dispute reflects a broader power struggle among different factions as they position themselves for influence leading up to the next presidential election. Notably, Erika Kirk, the CEO of Turning Point and widow of its founder, recently announced her support for Vice President JD Vance.
This episode has ignited a wider discussion about the Republican Party's stance on rejecting hateful rhetoric, with Carlson's actions becoming a focal point of the debate.
