Megyn Kelly Takes a Page From Elon Musk's Book & Blames Jews for Anti-Semitism

When Ben Shapiro saw fit to take Megyn Kelly to task for enabling Candace Owens' conspiracy theories alleging Israel was involved in Charlie Kirk's assassination, Kelly saw fit to retaliate against both Shapiro and CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss by blaming Jews, or at the very least Jewish conservatives, for anti-Semitism on the Right in an interview with Vanity Fair:

They are making antisemites. Tucker (Carlson) is not making antisemites. They are.

When I read Kelly's comment, it brought Elon Musk to mind.

During his ongoing campaign against the ADL, Musk made the following remark on X back in September 2023:

The ADL, because they are so aggressive in their demands to ban social media accounts for even minor infractions, are ironically the biggest generators of anti-Semitism on this platform!

At the time, I made the following observation:

In other words, the Jews are to blame for anti-Semitism by speaking out against it, and we ought to keep our mouths shut. 

By making this claim, Musk effectively absolves responsibility from those who actually harbor hatred towards Jews while giving them a blank check to defame us at every opportunity. 

In such an environment, anti-Semitism would be bound to become mainstream in the United States. And if this comes to pass then pogroms will be sure to follow.

This would be Elon Musk's hateful and ugly legacy. 

Well, Kelly is certainly carrying on Musk's legacy. By stating that Carlson bears no responsibility for spreading anti-Semitism, she absolves him for his interview of Nick Fuentes, his interview of Darryl Cooper, his interview of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and his interview of Qatari PM Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani and his intention to buy a home there. In all of these interviews, Carlson amplified their anti-Semitism without a whisper of criticism. In excusing Carlson's behavior, Kelly also gives anti-Semitism mainstream legitimacy.

Unfortunately, Kelly will be far from the last mainstream public figure in this country to blame Jews for anti-Semitism rather than the anti-Semites who pour the fuel and ignite the flames.
