The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

So, you know, it was becoming a real problem for them.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

Yeah, I think that's right on.

I mean, Candace Owens is extremely anti-Semitic.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

She has a history.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

I mean, you know, I mentioned the Hitler stuff.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

I mean, she has a history of, you know, she's talked about Jews drinking children's blood, done blood libel stuff.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

She's very critical of Israel and American support to Israel.

But it goes way beyond that as well.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

And I think you're right.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

That's kind of the key fault line.

This conspiracy theory, I think, really got going a week or two after Charlie Kirk's death when she started saying, well, you know, the donors, the pro-Israel donors to Turning Point were getting really mad at him.

Charlie was about to flip and become more critical of Israel.

And, I mean, a lot of those text messages were authenticated by Turning Point.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

They said, yes, you know, he was saying essentially these Jewish donors are –

Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

They're alienating people.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

I'm getting fed up with them because they're so demanding.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

They demand this kind of total fealty to Israel and support.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

They don't want any criticism.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

And so I think that that really got a lot of it going.

The Bulwark Podcast
Will Sommer: Conspiracy Theorists Are Behind the Wheel in the Republican Party

And so that is sort of the fault line there.
