Political commentator Tucker Carlson landed in hot water after his speech during the memorial service of American political activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Sept. 10 during a speech at Utah Valley University by the 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.

Tucker Carlson, the Former Fox News television personality, was blasted all over social media and accused of antisemitism after his speech in which he likened the story of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ at the hands of jews to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Carlson said that both Jesus and Kirk were killed for telling the truth. In the statement, he said, "I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamp-lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about, ‘What do we do about this guy telling the truth about us?' We must make him stop talking."

He added, "And there's always one guy with a bright idea, I can just hear him say, 'I've got an idea, why don't we just kill him?'"

The people he was referencing eating hummus may have been Jews, but he was referencing them, not because they were Jews, but because they were Jews who held positions of power and leadership in the Jewish community. It was their positions that he referenced them. He wasn’t just referencing all Jews generally.

Lay off the Jew hating comics for awhile sir.

The goofy laughter was cringe, as usual — yes, a few degrees more than usual. Comparing Charlie Kirk to Christ was a bit too far. But I didn’t get anything anti-Semitic from it. Tucker’s not a bigot.

Tucker received hearty and appreciative applause at the event yesterday when he was introduced.

I’ve always associated hummus eating with Islamic countries.

Tucker knew what he was doing when he blamed the Jews yesterday at the memorial service instead of the education system’s indoctrination, brainwashing and radicalization of our youth.

I decided to look up the assertion that Carlson was funded by Qatar. There was a connection, initial layered investments by third parties but Carlson seems to have taken steps to return all ownership to himself and his partner, Omeed Malik. Well, I know what "Malik" signifies so I looked him up too.

"Omeed Malik was born in New Jersey to an Iranian mother and a Pakistani father.[4] (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/disgraced-ex-bofa-exec-raises-uncomfortable-questions-metoo-140122741.html)

It does not surprise me that there are conservatives of Iranian mothers and Pakistani fathers but neither would it surprise me if they hate Israel.

Kirk was assassinated by a campus and internet radicalized faggot and Tucker knows it.

So the Hummus eaters who wanted Jesus to shut up were Romans? In today’s audience who is the first people that come to mind when you say Hummus eaters?

Not romans

Correct. The hummus-eating comment was one of the cringe-worthy moments.

I think people need to rethink inviting him to this sort of stuff.

Turkish. Greek.

[DeplorablePaul]

Yes. It’s weird that he broke out in a manic laugh. He does amuse himself.

When were you last in Israel ?

Nothing to do with Islam religion, more geographical in the countries of the Levant like Syria, Lebanon, Israel, etc.

His connection to the same people who killed Jesus was unmistakable. It is the blood libel.

There is a worldwide pandemic of evil sweeping the world. Every soul is being tested.

Charlie Kirk did an amazing job on college campuses. It’s a disgrace what Tucker did by trying to shift the attention from who really assassinated Charlie and what’s happening to our students.

Ol Tucker does not know the Bible if it hit him on the head. Jesus went to the cross willingly to be the atonement for all of our sins. We all killed Jesus because we were born into sin. I see Tucker has a very close relationship to the moon god of the muzzles.

[RummyChick]

Greek is who i thought of but when I stayed in Greece for a few weeks 20 years ago Hummus was not served.

[RummyChick]

. Who nailed him to the cross? That is who killed him

[spacejunkie2001]

BS. Amir is a loser who gets so much wrong

[RummyChick]

Here is an interesting claim about people at the event

He totally did not blame the Jews and these people that want to see Jew blaming under every Rock are as bad as the ones that see a guilty Jew under every Rock. It’s so tiresome

Hey genius. That post is a copy from the Quds network. It helps to read.
