A recent online stir has emerged following the release of private text messages between conservative commentators Mark Levin and Tucker Carlson. The exchange, apparently initiated by Turning Point USA (TPUSA), revealed that the organization sought to host a debate between the two prominent figures. While Carlson expressed willingness to engage in the discussion, Levin reportedly declined, citing a desire to avoid providing a platform for Carlson’s views.
Adding fuel to the controversy, Levin allegedly boasted about his retort to the debate proposition, characterizing Carlson as “the modern-day David Duke.” This inflammatory comparison, referencing the former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard, has drawn criticism and further amplified the divide within conservative circles. The audio of the exchange, shared online, has intensified the debate surrounding the appropriateness of Levin’s remarks and the implications for conservative discourse.
