In a wide-ranging interview on the Tucker Carlson Show released today, former Fox News host Megyn Kelly staunchly defended her refusal to publicly condemn figures like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, who have faced accusations of promoting conspiracy theories and antisemitic views. 

Kelly's comments come amid ongoing divisions within conservative circles over issues of free speech, foreign policy, and allegations of antisemitism, with some critics labeling her as having "gone full antisemite" for her positions.

During the discussion, which also covered topics like U.S. intervention in Venezuela and media biases, Kelly addressed demands from critics, including Ben Shapiro and others in pro-Israel advocacy groups, that she distance herself from Carlson and Owens. She described these pressures as attempts to control her relationships and opinions.
