"In the week since Kirk's murder, Owens has attacked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for sharing a line from a letter Kirk addressed to him, insinuated that Netanyahu's invitation to Kirk to visit Israel was a thinly-veiled threat, accused Bill Ackman of threatening Kirk, and instructed her followers to Be very wary and suspicious of the people who are already telling us to stop asking questions about the Charlie Kirk assassination."
"Candace, who's been critical of Israel in this conflict, did not appreciate that we had a foreign leader reading part of Charlie's letter, trying to characterize his stance on Israel without giving its full measure, because it had changed a bit in recent months. And she is not wrong about that, began Kelly at the outset of a long monologue introducing the topic to Matt Welch, Kmele Foster, and Michael Moynihan, the hosts of The Fifth Column podcast."
"I want to verify that he was feeling frustrated, and he was feeling pressured, and he feeling like his character was being assassinated by people publicly and privately who are-, I guess, consider themselves more pro-Israel than Charlie. And he refused to back off of his criticisms and said there the truth, which is, in his case and in mine, the more you tell us we can't talk about something the way we wanna talk about it, the more we're likely to do it, said Kelly."
Megyn Kelly defended Candace Owens's commentary that Charlie Kirk's position on Israel had changed in recent months and described Owens as brilliant. Owens criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for sharing a line from a letter Kirk had written, suggested Netanyahu's invitation was a veiled threat, accused Bill Ackman of threatening Kirk, and urged followers to remain suspicious of calls to stop questioning the assassination. Kelly played a clip of a recent conversation with Kirk in which he expressed frustration and pressure from pro-Israel advocates and refused to back down from his criticisms. Michael Moynihan questioned Owens's credibility.
