A Clash of Titans: Inside the Heated Debates at a Major Conservative Gathering

At a recent conservative gathering, tensions ran high as prominent figures took shots at each other instead of focusing on their usual targets. Erika Kirk, now leading the influential organization after her husband's passing, tried to keep things light, comparing the event to a lively family Thanksgiving dinner. The event saw some of the biggest names in conservative media turning on each other. Ben Shapiro kicked things off by attacking fellow commentators, calling them morally bankrupt. He didn't hold back, criticizing Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, and Tucker Carlson for their actions and beliefs. Shapiro's targets didn't stay quiet. Carlson mocked Shapiro's speech, saying he laughed at it. Steve Bannon compared Shapiro to a cancer, while Kelly declared their friendship over. Owens, who wasn't invited, fired back on her podcast, calling Shapiro a miserable person.Israel was a hot topic at the event. Some questioned the Republican Party's support for Israel, with Carlson even criticizing civilian deaths in Gaza. Others brought up historical events, like Israel's attack on the USS Liberty. Bannon accused Shapiro and others of prioritizing Israel over America. Erika Kirk used the platform to endorse JD Vance for the next Republican presidential nomination. She promised to support her husband's friend in a big way. Turning Point's volunteer network could be a major help for Vance in early primary states. The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement made a strong showing at the event. Led by Robert F. Kennedy, MAHA has been clashing with other parts of the Make America Great Again coalition, especially on environmental regulations. Wellness influencer Alex Clark asked the crowd if the EPA is with them or against them, hinting at a divide within the conservative movement. The EPA responded by saying they want to partner with the MAHA community. They also promised to release a MAHA agenda for the agency. It seems like the conservative movement is dealing with more than just internal fights over policy.
