House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tucker Carlson’s decision to interview white supremacist Nick Fuentes on his podcast last month was a “big mistake.”
“He has a lot of listeners, and I think giving Nick Fuentes that platform is a big mistake,” the Louisiana Republican told The Hill in an interview published Tuesday.
Johnson said that he had not listened to Fuentes before but that he “sort of knew” who the far-right provocateur is. After listening to a compilation of some of the “worst things” Fuentes has said, Johnson called it “vile, terrible stuff.”
“I mean, it’s not just antisemitic, it’s openly racist, it’s violent — things you can’t even repeat on the House floor,” Johnson said. “We should not be giving a platform to amplify those views. And I think that’s important for us to say.”

I was hoping for another 1000 threads about this important issue.
So he heard some cherry picked, out of context comments and decided he was "terrible"?
it was terrible for establishment
There’s nothing good to be said about Fuentes.
I don’t want politicians controlling podcaster’s guest list.
Johnson is merely echoing what his AIPAC handlers told him.
Carlson can have anyone he wants on is show. TFB.
Remember when the media went nuts on far leftists being interviewed. Me either.
Tucker sure can, he recently had Cenk Uygur on his show and was praising Cenk. Tucker was a moron for doing that.
Rassmussen however has been warning republicans that since last summer
That young republicans have been gravitating to Fuentes thanks to the bad judgement of the speech police in the Republican Party,? You want to thank Laura loomer not Tucker Carlson for Fuentes million plus followers.
Speaker Mike Johnson bent over backwards for the Biden regime prior to Trump’s reelection. I expect that he’ll do it again if the Democrats retake the executive branch.
Mike Johnson is a spineless weasel.
Yep.
Johnson just made a dumb move.
He may never be smart enough to figure out why.
You are so mean.
Johnson only took 618K from AIPAC in the last cycle.

He does not listen to anyone who does not contribute at least a million bucks.
Lol.
I half expected to hear from you, and I knew you would be calling anyone who doesn’t hold your Stormfront views “not smart” or “boomer.”
I suspect you are one of those who are on X trying to sow division. My only question is, are you just an easily influenced useful idiot, or are you a militant fascist? Either way, your beliefs are disgusting. I hope you wise up.
Name calling seems to be a boomer thing.
Young people are not falling for it.
It’s an opinion. thers have different opinions. Can
Tucker spends 80 percent of his time basing Israel and the other 20 percent kissing leftist ass.
Neither one should ne canceled. Let everyone see them for the idiots they are.
