Dallas, TX – Political commentator and internet personality Alex Stein reportedly experienced a "meltdown" following the debunking of claims he, alongside Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, has espoused. The incident was highlighted in a recent tweet by Eyal Yakoby, who stated, > "Alex Stein literally has a meltdown after the lies that he, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson espouse are debunked."
Stein's recent public appearances have been marked by controversial statements and confrontational behavior. In August 2025, during testimony at a Texas Senate hearing concerning a "bathroom bill," Stein made inflammatory and disproven claims regarding transgender individuals. Reports indicate that these statements, widely debunked by experts and public health data, triggered strong reactions from activists present.
Further, an incident on August 30, 2025, captured on video, showed Stein engaged in an "insane meltdown," reportedly screaming at a guest during an Israel debate. This aligns with the "meltdown" described in Yakoby's tweet, suggesting a pattern of intense reactions when his assertions are challenged or disproven.
The tweet also draws a connection to Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, both of whom have a documented history of promoting widely debunked theories. Owens, for instance, has faced legal action, including a defamation lawsuit filed by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte in July 2025, over her persistent promotion of a conspiracy theory that Brigitte Macron is male.
Similarly, Tucker Carlson has frequently been criticized for broadcasting unverified or false information on his platforms. PolitiFact, a non-profit fact-checking organization, has extensively documented numerous falsehoods and misleading claims made by Carlson throughout his career, particularly on topics like immigration, race, and public health. While a direct, joint debunking event for all three figures leading to Stein's specific recent "meltdown" was not explicitly detailed in reports, the tweet from Eyal Yakoby suggests a broader pattern of their shared propensity for advancing claims that are subsequently disproven.
