The two argue that the West is built on Christian values, not Judeo Christian ones, and that Judaism is either irrelevant or morally inferior to what came later. Here's why they're wrong.

Actually, Christianity doesn't have any values of its own. Find anything in the New Testament that is a blueprint for values, other than what is stolen from the Hebrew Bible. We live by Judeo values. Mishpatim alone is the basis of all civil law in the world.

Christopher Columbus was a jew.

A Jewish community/presence has existed continuously in America since the 1600s.

Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owen are operating off of emotions, not facts; and, they do not care about the facts because they have let blind hatred settle in their minds, and hearts.

Stop pandering to them by giving them any relevance in the first place.

Visualize a future bigger than their hate, and conduct yourselves accordingly.
