Bari Weiss Privately Lobbied Megyn Kelly to Participate in a CBS Town Hall With Call Her Daddy' Host Alex Cooper: Report
"There, commentator Ben Shapiro blasted his fellow conservatives for their supposed refusal to condemn Candace Owens and her conspiracy theories about the death of Charlie Kirk. During his speech, he specifically called out Kelly and Tucker Carlson. That speech was later transcribed and published on Weiss's The Free Press. Weiss then promoted the article, titled Only Cowards Tolerate Conspiracy Theorists, on social media. That drew the ire of Kelly, who's repeatedly called Weiss a coward in response."
"Before announcing a new CBS town hall and debate series, Weiss, according to two sources, spent weeks lobbying Megyn Kelly to participate in a debate on feminism with Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper, to no avail. This was before Weiss promoted Ben Shapiro's broadside against Kelly at Turning Point's annual conference, triggering a searing response from the conservative commentator."
Bari Weiss tried to recruit Megyn Kelly to debate Alex Cooper on feminism for a new CBS town hall series. The feud escalated after Ben Shapiro criticized conservatives at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest for not condemning Candace Owens' conspiracy theories, calling out Kelly and Tucker Carlson. The speech was transcribed and published on The Free Press and promoted by Weiss on social media. Kelly responded by calling Weiss a coward and vowed more truth. Weiss was appointed CBS News editor in chief after Paramount acquired The Free Press and launched a town hall series that drew disappointing ratings.
