“The Great Debate” has now happened. Candace Owens and podcaster Andrew Wilson sat down for an exchange moderated by Patrick Bet-David.

Interestingly, but perhaps unsurprisingly in this age of internet drama, it’s not entirely clear as to what exactly the topic of this debate was supposed to be. It certainly didn’t materialize, as one might expect, a debate over who murdered Charlie Kirk. If anything, it was more a disagreement over who did not murder the founder of Turning Point USA, with Owens claiming that it was not Tyler Robinson and Wilson claiming that it was not any of the myriad of agents whom Owens has implicated.

None of this, however, stopped Owens’ and Wilson’s fans from insisting that their favored personality “destroyed” the other.

The truth of the matter is that neither interlocutor came even remotely close to “destroying” anyone. And both were forced by the other to considerably soften the assertions they made in advance of their meeting.
