Is Seth Dillon left or right?
Dillon is the CEO of The Babylon Bee, the conservative Christian news satire site he acquired in 2018, and he frames his politics primarily around religious conservatism and opposition to censorship, speaking frequently on campuses and at conferences like CPAC about free speech and the value of mockery. He is firmly on the right but has emerged as a prominent critic of one faction of it: after Candace Owens attacked the Bee as the "Babylonian Talmudic Bee" in January 2025, Dillon escalated a public fight over antisemitism on the online right. At a February 2026 hearing of Trump's Religious Liberty Commission, he called Owens and Tucker Carlson "the two most famous antisemites," clashing with a commissioner who defended Owens. His overall positioning remains solidly conservative and pro-Israel, distinguishing him from the isolationist and Israel-critical wing of the newer right.
