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.”

If there was ever any doubt, now there is none.
Nothing else explains it, honestly.
Mamdani stuns the world and becomes mayor of America's biggest city - and of all that could be said, THIS is the take that Carlson chooses to broadcast to his audience?
The only answer is that he is told to do it by his main investor, who is Turkish-Iranian billionaire Omeed Malik.
What is your proof that Tucker is being paid by Qatar and not just acting from his own personal prejudices and lesser self?
Before seeing your post, I asked what is the proof Tucker is being paid and not just acting from his personal prejudices and lesser self?
Re: Tucker.
Why can’t it be as simple as someone just acting out of their own personal heart issues and inner demons, not some grand financial conspiracy? Why respond to conspiratorialists with more conspiracy?
Yeah Omeed Malik is his money man. He bought Daily Caller from Carlson. He handed Carslon $15 million to start his new media company after the FoxNews firing. And his family has very sketchy ties to radical Islamists in Turkey and Qatar.
I have no proof of anything, but it sure could explain this sudden, sharp turn, after decades of bow-tied marshmallow Tucker.
Some guy on Substack has been saying for two years that Tucker lost a fortune in dumb crypto 'investments' and even gambling. Why else would someone making $17 million per year from FoxNews need someone to hand him $15 million to start a new media company after his firing?
And then you notice that the guy who funded it is an Turkish-Iranian Muslim billionaire, as I mentioned in another post.
P.S. Carlson's father was a CIA operative too, so there's that.
Tucker has gone totally off the Rez.
“Next thing you know, Qataralson will join the Helen Thomas brigade and say all of the Jews should return to Europe.”
Worse; he supports and buddys with those that would kill all Jews.
I liked Tucker some years ago. He pushed the limits that most conservatives would not but with logic and sometimes poor logic. He lived on the razors edge where many patriots did and do. Then something happened to Tucker that I do not understand. He just went Bat Sh-t crazy in his views of public political politics or something I do not understand.
As my sainted grandfather who raised me would say, “THAT BOY GOTTA A PROBLEM.”
There is effort in both the left leaning MSM and conservative press to create controversies over Charli Kirk's death and fan flames the press is creating.
Then there are those exploiting his death for their own ends. Owens, Fuentes and Carlson are leading the pack here.
This is creating division among the Republicans and conservative base for no good reason. Both problems need to get called out for it.
For decades Tucker has been the conservative pretender.
He is an actor absorbed by his grand pretending. He wears a bow tie to remind us he really is conservative. He is not and never has beeen conservative.
He is pure faux.
No, he just knows where he’s getting his money. Now that he isn’t on Fox, MSNBC, PBS, CNN anymore, he has to make his own money, and he will say whatever someone pays him to.
Exactly.
Well, the Russians too, but Putin is in the process of replacing them with Muslims.
No. I don’t think so.
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 libertarianism.
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.
Neither Carlson or Fuentes was ever conservative.
I don’t think Drudge changed, I think he sold his site. We don’t even know where he is.
You didn’t realize when he was on MSNBC?
Carlson definitely is. Maybe Owens will come back around.
