The reason Owens has been going after @TheBabylonBee for a week for making a joke about her obvious obsession with Jews has nothing to do with the Bee. What it has to do with is her attempt to use her platform to silence critics. You see while she has obsessively gone after Jews for a year, she would always deflect criticism for it by (falsely) claiming that it was just Jews going after her for criticism of Israel. This works to some extent because the right’s influencer scene is so incestuous that others with big platform’s on the right won’t call her out (they view it as not their fight and not worth alienating someone with a big platform as several have admitted privately) so it becomes a he said/she said argument despite the extensive evidence. She just claims it’s Jews obsessed with Israel attacking her. But when the Bee acknowledges the reality of her obsession in a joke, it becomes much more mainstream. So now she feels she needs to make an example out of them so others with audiences on the right won’t also tell the truth about her. She will do it by deflecting and brining up unrelated personal stuff, but not addressing the actual substance. https://bird.makeup/@aghamilton29/1870538996901924971
