Tucker Carlson mounted a full-throated defense of New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D) in Thursday morning’s edition of the former Fox News host’s newsletter.
Under the sub-header, “Jews for Mamdani,” Carlson wrote the following:
"You saw the campaign attacks against Zohran Mamdani.
He’s a socialist! True.
He’s a communist! Possibly true.
He’s an antisemite! Wait, what?
Is the incoming mayor a fan of Israel? Does he want America to fight its wars? Not particularly. But a Jew hater? That’s a different conversation. We’ve never seen anything to suggest he falls into that ugly camp. Because he doesn’t. He plainly said so yesterday, during his victory speech, and numerous times throughout the summer and fall.
That didn’t stop the ethno-narcissists from slandering him as some sort of dark force plotting to install the Fourth Reich in America’s largest city."
Carlson went on to argue that “The Jewish voters who backed Mamdani did so because they knew the antisemite attacks were lies. They had the brains to see through the bullshit,” and that “America’s Israel First caucus needs antisemitism.”

You didn’t think he was when he was on CNN, PBS, and MSNBC, or the 15 years he was a registered Dem? Carlson was hated on FR in the 2000s.
Tucker even though he claims to have been (a now regretful) supporter of the Iraq War has always had a “paleoconservative” Pat Buchananite streak. Not exactly a Ron Paul libertarian, but with some inclinations towards it - libertarianism in general.
He was never a textbook Republican.
But his comments go beyond being anti-interventionist. Which by the way IS a valid and not an inherently anti-Semitic viewpoint to hold….But Carlson’s tone and words go beyond merely objecting to US foreign policy. It sounds personal vendetta driven. (Reposting)
This is what shows up on his CT scan: $$$$
Do you have a link. I actually agree with them being together.
Newsom can’t win primary in enough states.
In the 2000s he was hated on Free Republic. Then many Freepers got hit with a memory ray, and started liking him. SMH.
Ugh. He said that?
One group that is never mentioned that will be negatively impacted by Mamdani is black people. I remember before 9/11 Muslims bullying blacks.
that was about Levin, not Carlson
“”Two years later we saw him riding the Trump comeback wave and pretending to be a huge supporter. Tucker stands for nobody but himself. But I do believe the Tucker we’re seeing now is closer to the real Tucker than any of his previous incarnations.””

Exactly.
You may be right about that. Don't forget his time at CNN before that.
fellow travelers
at least 1/2 of Jewish voters in New York are aligned with leftism way before they align with Judaism or Israel. Surprised it was only 1/3rd for the commie bitch.
Carlson also knows this but he’s playing stupid. As he is with calling Israels incursion into Gaza “genocide”. You can’t get anymore retarded than that
The dems experiment with women is going to prevent the donkey face from being nominated for prez
I’m guessing the ‘real’ Tucker has come out after leaving FNC. I had no idea he was such a damaged person.

Perfect.
I think you might be right.
