The Danger of Divisiveness

Tucker Carlson's recent attacks on Ben Shapiro reflect a dangerous trend of divisiveness within conservative media. Instead of focusing on the real threats facing America, such as the collapsing economy and unchecked immigration, Carlson has chosen to target a fellow conservative and question his love for the country. This type of infighting only serves to distract from the larger issues at hand and undermines the unity needed to combat the woke agenda.
