Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson clash over Noahide Laws

Conservative commentators Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens are engaged in a dispute regarding Shapiro’s comments on the Noahide Laws. The controversy originated from a Turning Point USA event at the University of Iowa, where Shapiro discussed the seven moral principles in Jewish tradition that non-Jews are expected to observe.

During the event, Shapiro responded to a student by explaining that Judaism does not require Christians to convert. He encouraged the student to continue practicing their faith and attending church, stating that a resurgence of Christianity is a positive factor for America.

Tucker Carlson has criticized these remarks, drawing comparisons between religious legal systems and Sharia law, and alleging that Shapiro’s views imply a hostile stance toward Christians. Shapiro has labeled Carlson’s claims “psychotic” and accused him of attempting to divide conservatives. Candace Owens has sided with Carlson, accusing Shapiro of being “utterly shameless” and claiming his worldview suggests Christians must either serve his interests or be destroyed.
