Pints with Aquinas
I Upset the Mormons...
"One thing, if I'm on my show ranting and raving about other religions I disagree with, which I plan to, which I do. And plan to continue with all other religions except for— but it's another thing when I release— when they release an article, it looks like Daily Wire. They're giving the stamp of approval, right? And, you know, Daily Wire is a conservative company. They love Mormons because Mormons are part of that big conservative tent. That's just not my mission."
A Catholic apologist hired by The Daily Wire admits the company made a mistake by publishing his anti-Joseph Smith article on their main site, as opposed to keeping controversial religious content confined to his show. He acknowledges the company agrees they were wrong, noting that articles carry the Daily Wire brand stamp of approval, creating tension with the company's Mormon conservative audience. The host clarifies his mission is Catholic conversion, not conservative coalition-building.
