Hundreds of thousands of American Democrats passionately support the Islamic terrorist organization Hamas, whose ideology matches Nazism in its call for the genocide of the Jews, and still a majority of American Jews stay with the Democratic Party.
One Republican, Tucker Carlson, promotes an American Nazi and the Democratic Party lets out a whoop of glee that could be heard on the moon if there were ears there to hear with, and declares Trump and Vance guilty of Nazi sympathies by their association with Carlson - and so possibly wrecks the Trump campaign. The campaign of Donald Trump, who has done more for the Jews than any other leader anywhere in the world since the Romans forced the dispersion of the Jews of Israel two thousand years ago!
Tucker Carlson hosted an amateur historian named Darryl Cooper on his show to discuss the history of World War II. The result was an extended exercise in Nazi sympathizing with little pushback from Carlson, who called Cooper “the most important popular historian working in the United States today".
The interview poses a major test to the Republican Party. Though Carlson has been off of Fox News for over a year, broadcasting on Twitter/X instead, he remains influential in the party. He delivered a primetime speech at the 2024 RNC and reportedly played a major role in the JD Vance vice presidential pick. Now that he’s crossing the reddest of red lines — actively apologizing for Adolf Hitler — can the party cut ties?
The answer has been a resounding no. The Trump camp — which sets the tone for the entire party — has so far done nothing to distance itself from the increasingly toxic Carlson. …
Nobody should be surprised the current GOP is failing this particular test. This is the party that renominated Trump after all that he’s done; if there are red lines left for them, it’s not obvious what they are.
[“After all that he’s done”? Moved the US embassy in Israel from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem? Brokered the Abraham Accords between Israel and four Arab states?]
What’s more interesting is the reaction among conservative-aligned commentators and intellectuals — many of whom are expressing shock at what Tucker had done.
“Didn’t expect Tucker Carlson to become an outlet for Nazi apologetics, but here we are,” radio host Erick Erickson wrote on X. The writer Sohrab Ahmari, who wrote a tribute to his “friend” Carlson after his April 2023 firing from Fox, tweeted on Wednesday that he “can’t get over … the fact that Tucker saw fit to lend [Cooper] an uncritical platform.” (Elon Musk tweeted the Carlson interview approvingly — only to delete the tweet later.)
Such expressions of shock feel absurd. For Carlson’s entire run on Fox News, liberals had been warning that his show had become a vector for racist and neo-Nazi ideas — while people on the right dismissed those concerns as the woke PC police trying to silence a prominent conservative voice.
The liberal position has now been proven correct — yet again. The only question is whether conservatives will learn a broader lesson about how far-right ideas infiltrate their movement — with their own tacit support.
It’s a shame. He could have helped Trump win, but he is knowingly making himself a liability to Trump.
Why, two months before the election, start injecting this ridiculous crap into the public “conversation”?
Even if he believes it, I can’t believe he’s too stupid to understand that it will hurt Trumps chances.
Unless he is that stupid, that means he is purposely sabotaging Trumps chances for winning.
Or is he just so egotistical that promoting his own “brilliant” ideas is more important to him than saving the Republic from Communism?
