Brian Glenn, fiancé of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, has voiced profound frustration over the escalating internal conflicts within the conservative MAGA movement. Speaking from the Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference, Glenn, a former Real America’s Voice White House correspondent, condemned the “bulls” infighting, urging a shift in focus towards substantive policy issues rather than partisan disputes. His remarks underscore a growing exasperation among some figures within the Republican Party regarding its increasingly public divisions.
The conservative landscape has recently been fractured by several high-profile controversies, notably the rising influence of white nationalist Nick Fuentes and the spread of conspiracy theories by right-wing commentator Candace Owens. Owens’s claims, which include allegations concerning the assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, have intensified a simmering civil war within the movement, leading to sharp public condemnations and a struggle for ideological direction. These disagreements played out dramatically during the AmericaFest gathering, exposing deep rifts among prominent conservative voices.
During the conference’s opening night, Ben Shapiro, editor emeritus of The Daily Wire, launched a scathing attack on Owens and other figures he labeled “charlatans” and “grifters.” Shapiro specifically criticized those who “traffic in conspiracism and dishonesty,” extending his rebuke to include Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Steve Bannon. He accused them of cowardice for failing to condemn Owens’s “vicious attacks” and for associating with individuals like Nick Fuentes, whom he described as a “Hitler apologist, Nazi-loving, anti-American piece of refuse.”
Shapiro’s forceful broadside did not go unanswered. Tucker Carlson, speaking later from the same TPUSA stage, dismissed Shapiro as “pompous” and expressed amusement at the calls for “deplatforming and denouncing people” at a Charlie Kirk event. Megyn Kelly, meanwhile, took to social media to challenge Shapiro’s criticism, asserting that he lacked a full understanding of the “behind the scenes” efforts she had made, including facilitating a “detente” between Owens and Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s widow.
Brian Glenn, who has frequently found himself navigating the tumultuous landscape of Trump’s coalition, expressed concern that these internal squabbles could severely jeopardize Republican prospects in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. Appearing on Real America’s Voice, he argued that while such debates might be suitable for talk radio, they are detrimental to electoral success. Glenn passionately called for conservatives to redirect their energy toward addressing policies that directly impact Americans’ lives, rather than becoming mired in “who said this, who said that” and “all these conspiracy theories.”
Glenn’s personal connection to the infighting is particularly acute, given his recent engagement to Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene herself has faced significant backlash and even been labeled a “traitor” by elements of the Republican base and former President Trump, following her divergence from party leadership on issues such as the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and the extension of healthcare subsidies. This places Glenn directly in the crosshairs of the factionalism he so vehemently decries.
Amidst this backdrop of escalating conservative tensions, Glenn announced his decision to step down from his role as a White House correspondent. He plans to relocate to Georgia, a move he described as a personal choice linked to his upcoming marriage to Congresswoman Greene. Glenn conveyed his profound exhaustion with the constant internal strife, stating, “All this other bulls, I’m sorry, I’m just over it!” His departure highlights the personal toll that the deep ideological and personal divisions within the movement are taking on its participants.
