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.
-snip-
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?'"

Very well said, sir.
As to our prior discussion, yes, regardless of intent it absolutely should have been avoided.
Eating hummus. Whew! I thought it said eating humans.
> This was a solemn moment, and Tucker failed in part. <
Agreed. With that hummus comment, he forced the audience to guess at what he was trying to say. Not appropriate at that venue.
And what’s worse, some of those guesses will make Tucker look bad. We see that here on this thread.
Maybe Tucker should join the Free Republic Writers Guild. Then he’d learn better ways to phrase things.
😀
Tucker seems to feel he is out of the limelight and needs attention.
So to complete the analogy for the modern day, you’re saying that Tucker is blaming powerful Jews of today for Charlie’s assassination?
More to the point, who does Carlson blame? And why did he use the hummus analogy?
I thought it was fair. The Pharisees killed Jesus to shut him up. They failed badly. Democrats killed Charlie to shut him up and failed badly.
Oh shaddup. You need to drop your hate.
Funny, I never heard him blame the Jews.
Tucker who? Was he relevant at some time?
It wasn’t a dark lit room! It was the halls of congress! It was the daily newspapers! It was Hollywood! It was evening and late night television! They all proposed to snuff out life of anyone who dared speak the truth. And they found another degenerate to accomplish the task. And poor Charlie Kirk ‘never knew what hit him’.......
I liked it too. Haters gonna hate. They act just like democrats.
To the those posting in this thread, whom does Carlson blame for the two deaths he referenced? And what did he mean by hummus eaters in connection with both deaths?
The fanatical supporters of the Zelensky regime are out in force on this thread.

Oh.
I am a Jew lover.
But I what do I know, and I do not feel strongly about it.
Data from Grok who was VERY uncomfortable providing this data and says if anything happens to him, it was NOT suicide.
So the Pharisees didn’t conspire with the Romans to do Jesus in? Did I miss something? Jesus was Jewish, let’s not forget. Jesus was shaking up the power structure, wasn’t playing the power games of either the Pharisees or the Romans. Judas was Jewish. It was Jewish on Jewish crime. Also not unheard of. What am I missing here? Jesus’ murder was middle east crime. Hummus is middle east food.
Time for some of Kamala’s Venn diagrams.
He was referring presently to hummus eaters because in the US a vast amount of hummus eaters are SOY-BOY VEGAN ANTIFA types who protest and kill.
I saw that speech. In no way did I connect Israel with killing Kirk. The similarity was on what happened to both who called people to repentance.
I thought hummus was a Middle East thing with Arabs. Hindus eat hummus.
That part was fair. But for people like me who have never watched Tucker the weird maniacal laugh at the end was startling. And the Hummus reference was questionable.
It could be nothing more than him trying to find a good reference to use that people could understand but he should have picked another one.
