Liz Wheeler has fired shots at multiple renowned podcasters, including Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and Ben Shapiro, in a recent X post.
In her X post dated March 17, Liz Wheeler mocked the “podcast wars”, referring to the constant beef between Owens, Shapiro, Kelly, and Carlson, among others. She also shared a clip from her eponymous podcast, The Liz Wheeler Show, sharing examples of these alleged “wars.”
“These podcast wars are embarrassing. Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens… What are we, toxic mean girls in high school? These vulgar ad hominems being hurled back and forth by leaders of the conservative movement…I still have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about. They never mention the substance on which they disagree,” Wheeler wrote.
She continued:
“We in the conservative movement—especially in the media—are supposed to be thought leaders. And when you’re a thought leader, you are supposed to persuade people about why your position is best. That’s your job. That’s my job. We are supposed to challenge and dismantle ideas that are bad, dangerous, and wrong. But is that what we’re doing? No, that’s not what we’re seeing here.”
Liz Wheeler also compared the fights between podcasters as “a nasty episode of Real Housewives”, while addressing them as the “biggest voices on the Right.” She then urged the aforementioned podcasters to stop their “beef” and focus on real issues.
“This is not the highest and best use of our platforms, voices, and this influence that we have been afforded. The midterms are around the corner and the only group being helped by these petty, superficial, juvenile spats are the Democrats. We are facing an ACTUAL crisis in our nation that everyone is ignoring because they’re addicted to drama. We have ONE CHANCE at mass deportations. ONE CHANCE. And we’re squandering it because the leaders of the movement would rather… beef?
Alongside her post, Liz Wheeler also attached a video from her podcast where she criticized Megyn Kelly for using “vulgar” words in her X posts. She also commented on Ben Shapiro and Piers Morgan’s beef on the platform and Candace Owens’ posts about Laura Loomer.
Wheeler also pointed out that the “argument” is not clear in most instances of these podcasters seemingly beefing with each other.
Liz Wheeler shares instances of the “podcast wars” on her show
In her attached video clip from The Liz Wheeler Show, the podcaster shared instances of the “podcast wars” that she criticized on the episode and on X. Wheeler firstly brought up an X post by Megyn Kelly directed at Mark Levin. Kelly wrote:
“Mark Levin thinks that he has the monopoly on lewd. He tweets about me obsessively in the crudest, nastiest terms possible, literally, more than some stalkers that I’ve had arrested. He doesn’t like it when women like me fight back because of his micro p*nis.”
Speaking of the aforementioned post, Liz Wheeler criticized Kelly’s actions, speculating whether it was a “a drunken text”. She said:
“I don’t bring this up because I enjoy highlighting vulgarity. I don’t actually enjoy it. I don’t bring this up either, because Mark Levin is a particular victim of this scenario. He’s not.”
Liz Wheeler went on to share Mark Levin’s posts about Megyn Kelly as well, to which the latter has responded. Levin had called Kelly “an emotionally unhinged, lewd and petulant wreck.”
Liz Wheeler then shared an image shared by Piers Morgan, where the British journalist appeared to troll Ben Shapiro. The image showed Shapiro in a minuscule figure against a bigger version of Morgan. Wheeler also shared a post by Candace Owens trolling Laura Loomer, where Owens called the latter “too butt a*s ugly to be commenting on.”
The podcaster then criticized the faces of the right wing movement beefing on X, adding:
“You could read, these ad hominems, these vulgar ad hominems being hurled back and forth by leaders of the conservative movement, and still have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about, because they never mention the substance on which they disagree.”
Wheeler is also a conservative activist and podcaster who runs her own eponymous podcast. The former host has also penned a couple of books.
