It was not the first time that Carlson, the 53 year old heir to the Swanson TV dinner fortune, had challenged American support for Ukraine’s wartime leader. On the first episode of his online program following his firing from Fox News, Carlson described Zelensky, who is Jewish, as “sweaty and rat-like, a comedian turned oligarch, a persecutor of Christians, a friend of Blackrock.”
He also referred to him as “shifty,” “dead-eyed,” and as “a person who would enjoy flooding villages or starting a famine.”
“It’s painful to even quote that,” said Ian Bremmer of the Eurasia group, in a response to Carlson’s statements. “These are all antisemitic dog-whistles, with a sprinkling of blood libel, plain and simple.”
The Anti-Defamation League also denounced Carlson’s comments about Zelensky as antisemitic: “This is exactly the type of dangerous, hateful content that has no place in mainstream public squares,” the group said.

You are insane with this post.
Watch Tucker squirm whenever one of his guests talks about America’s Judeo-Christian values.
I still agree with you a bit about, Ukraine, but you are right about that. Not sure he likes Trump either.
I don’t agree on Ukraine, but agree on this.
lol, you’ve discovered UCRetardMom@hell?
Yes, she is certifiable, and a major drag on this forum.
Tucker is a two faced backstabber. Alway has been.
Tucker, as smart as he is is ignorant of the Koran and Islam as a political force.
Agree.
Baloney!
The issue is dual-citizenship, dual loyalty. It’s not that he doesn’t care anything about America, just that his primary loyalty is to another nation. You know the passage about serving two masters.
Great question...and you see variations of this question asked repeatedly to many of the Ukraine shills on this forum.
I think Mike Pence summed their general response when he said, 'that's not my concern'.
Don’t like Ben Shapiro just like don’t like Tucker.
Usually on the right side of issues, but can be kooky and unreliable.
Tucker’s isolationism is irresponsible. He does not support backing our allies or interests anywhere in the world.
How many here don’t support Israel after what Hamas did?
All we do is give Israel equipment. That bothers Tucker?
Who are you to tell her she can’t post an article? You’re some kind of creepy propagandist here. Get lost.
She posts respectfully. How is she a drag on anything?
Exactly/. All Jews are right about everything? What a crock.
Zelensky is a slimy little twerp and would be whether he was Lutheran or Catholic or Buddhist.
I don’t agree that Tucker is anti Semitic. Although when I think about it he hates Kushner,Zelensky and now Shapiro.
But I don’t think that’s it. Tucker is a kook about American involvement in the world, and he does not approach that issue honestly.
I watched Tucker put on reprehsible guests and nod approvingly as they said crazy stuff.
He opposes supporting Taiwan and Israel. He agreed with guests who said Iran would defeat us in a war. And one guest said all marines do in the world is steal other countries resources. Tucker nodded.
You don’t have to support Israel,Taiwan or Ukraine, or want to stand up to Iran or China, but I do and Tucker is a nut.
He agreed with a guest who said not to worry about China because “They aren’t going to invade California “.
If that’s your view of the world, you can have him.
In the context of the radicalized content being spread by various forms of media, Continetti notes that Tucker Carlson, one of the most influential right-wing American media figures, repeatedly gives a platform to antisemitic figures.
Carlson "has described Volodymyr Zelenskyy – other than Netanyahu, the world's most prominent Jewish leader – in language that is antisemitic," Continetti says. "He has had on his show figures who are, in my opinion, antisemitic. But I do believe he has lost a great deal of influence since he was removed from his position in Fox News. His X viewership figures may seem like quite a bit, but he is not the force in American politics that he was."
But overall, Continetti observes, "This is a dangerous moment for the American right. The nationalist right has viewed [Russian President Vladimir] Putin as a sort of Che Guevara, a rebel-like figure. But [Putin's] political turn toward antisemitism could have widespread effects. He has sided with Hamas. The Russo-Iranian alliance is affecting Putin's public stance on Jews… That is a danger, because of the section [of the American right] that tends to lionize him."
Tucker is poised to stab Trump in the back.
When that happens hopefully it will be clear Tucker is a disaster for America.
I wish both of these losers would go away.
Did you bother to scroll up where she claims (lol) that Putin is an actual Crypto-Jew?
A respectful loon and perpetual trash poster who scares off donors and makes FReepers looks like they have $**t where their brains should be. Then you defend it.
This is why I don't bother with you anymore.
