Since Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk's murder in September, the conservative movement has been plagued by infighting over how to respond to anti-Semitism within the movement.
At Turning Point's AmericaFest conference, commentator Ben Shapiro called out fellow conservatives, including Tucker Carlson, who recently hosted white nationalist Nick Fuentes on his online show.
Shapiro said Charlie Kirk had, quote, despised Fuentes.
Carlson later hit back, insisting he's not an anti-Semite.
Young women ages 29 and under have long been an important voting bloc for the Democratic Party, but Democrats performed even better than expected with that group in elections this year.
Melissa Deckman, CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute, said,
says the traditional gender roles being promoted by some high-profile conservatives are ringing hollow with young women.
Deckman says more than 8 in 10 Gen Z women voted for Democrats in New Jersey and Virginia's gubernatorial elections.

But this year, a majority of young men voted for Democrats Abigail Spanberger in Virginia and Mikey Sherrill in New Jersey, and both gubernatorial candidates won.
Melissa Deckman is CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute.
Deckman notes that off-year elections draw a different, more politically engaged slice of the electorate, but she says the swing toward Democrats appears to be a promising sign for the party.
