Conservative commentator Candace Owens has come to the defense of talk show host Megyn Kelly, who is facing backlash over a joke made by The Babylon Bee about Israel. The satirical post, which has since been deleted, referenced the 2024 pager blasts in Lebanon, which Israel blamed on Iran, and sparked a heated conversation about perceived American support for Israel's propaganda. Owens, who shared the post to criticize its tone, accused The Babylon Bee's owner, Seth Dillon, of being 'a psycho' and claimed that the website is not genuinely engaged in satire. Owens has long been critical of Dillon, and this latest exchange has reignited their feud. Kelly, who hosts The Megyn Kelly Talk Show, also responded to the joke with a simple 'WTF', and tagged Dillon. Meanwhile, Owens used the opportunity to revive her conspiracy theory about the death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, which she believes may have been orchestrated by Israel. Kelly has also faced criticism for her comments about convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which many found to be insensitive. In a recent interview, she stated that Epstein 'was into the barely legal type' and 'liked teen types that would look legal to a passerby.' Her remarks sparked widespread backlash, with many arguing that there is a significant difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old.
