re: Turning Point Rep is mad at the Babylon Bee

I'm annoyed with Ben a lot, but he's done considerably more substantive work for the conservative movement than Owens. I don't know who is right in that dispute but I don't think Ben is part of the arguable grifter class.

Ben is pretty ideologically consistent in a fairly far right but pro-Israel conservatism. No qualms with those who object to his prioritization, but I don't think there is any compelling argument that he's not genuine in what he advocates for within that worldview.

I wouldn't call Owens a grifter, but I think it's very fair to say she's much more varied than Shapiro and has been all over the map on all sorts of issues.
