Tucker Carlson All But Endorses ‘Trumpian’ Democrat Abdul El-Sayed: ‘I Wouldn’t Vote for Mike Rogers at Gunpoint’
Mediaite ^ | 09/03/2026 | Michael Luciano

Tucker Carlson praised Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate nominee in Michigan, calling the candidate’s agenda “literally Trumpian.”

El-Sayed prevailed in last month’s Democratic primary over Rep. Haley Stevens, despite being outspent nine-to-one, thanks in large part to more than $30 million in ad buys from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. He has pledged to oppose continued U.S. aid to Israel.

El-Sayed’s Republican opponent is former Rep. Mike Rogers, who chaired the House Intelligence Committee and has been a fervent supporter of Israel. Given Americans’ increasingly negative views of Israel, Rogers’ campaign is reportedly concerned about AIPAC spending money on its behalf.

On Wednesday’s Tucker Carlson Show, the host spoke with Saagar Enjeti, co-host of Breaking Points, where the two discussed, among other topics, the race in Michigan.

“I wouldn’t vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint,” Carlson stated.

Enjeti responded by noting that Rogers lost a Senate race to Democrat Elissa Slotkin in 2024, despite Donald Trump carrying Michigan that year.

“And so that’s the candidate,” Enjeti said. “A literal loser who lost when Donald Trump won the state, just to show you how much of a headwind he had at his back.”

“He’s basically a tool of Israel and the intelligence agencies, Carlson replied. “How would you run someone like that? I don’t– it doesn’t even make sense...”

tucker is living proof that everybody has a price.

I’ve always felt that back in the day, matt drudge “sold out” after building up an alt news website that offered more independent or conservative view points

imo, he was bought off & started leaning left

another case in point that I’ve questioned is now know as “Professor” Jonathan Turley, a respected legal authority appearing on faux news

iirc, Turley was an early investigator into the questionable death of VWF in Ft Marcy Park. he was digging deep into the questionable circunstances surrounding the deah of hildabeast’s white house aide...........then all of a sudden he fell off the map & his trail went cold.......curiously about the same tie that he got a law degree from georgetown & became a trusted legal authority to veriify the mainstream point of view on TV

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

fwiw, all just my personal opinions

Tucker needs to relocate to the Ozarks.

Tucker has gone batshit crazy.

If he thinks El-Sayed is 'Trumpian' he truly has a problem.

“”If he thinks El-Sayed is ‘Trumpian’ he truly has a problem.””

***

And... imagine how utterly insulted El-Sayed must be now. This is good theater, if nothing else.

There are people here *still* advocating for him to run for President in 2028 - even after all of that was said by him, so I doubt his praise of El Sayed will phase them.

Huh?

Ignorant about the sea change?

It's much more stark when you see it broken down by age:

AIPAC spent roughly $30-32 million through its super PAC, the “United Democracy Project,”
in an unsuccessful effort to defeat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary.

<><>Total Spent: Over $30 million
<><>FEC citied upwards of $30.6 to $32 million.
<><>AIPAC is highly unpopular, so spending is funneled thru AIPAC’s super PAC,
<><>AIPAC’s neutrally-named “United Democracy Project”
<><>AIPAC funds heavily financed Rep Haley Stevens against El-Sayed in the Democrat primary.
<><>Despite being heavily outspent (nearly $70 million in total), El-Sayed won the Democratic nom.

There’s too much emphasis on high-profile Jewish donors. It makes Jews worry about attaching their names to donations amid a climate where stereotypes about Jewish influence in politics are being weaponized against Jews.

Jews are the party’s smallest minority group yet they
provide Democrats with a substantial half of total donations.

I think Tucker’s ratings must be tanking, so now he’ll try something else.

From wjhat I have read, Tucker was quite wealthy even before he became a widely known pundit, so I was kind of surprised when Quatar ‘bought him’, and made him abandon all the values he espoused before.

But now... It seems more like he has gone completely insane, rather than being just a ‘bought and paid for’ Trump and Jew hater.

It’s not unexpected that Israel is hated by the entire Islamic world (and their leftist western sycophants). Islam is a sodomite religion…women are for breeding, men and boys (I.e. Bacha Bazi) are for fun. According to the Koran, Islam can’t realize world conquest as long as those pesky Jews survive. Especially in their land! The Bible says God is the one who’s created this controversy! He’s dividing the world between those who love and believe God’s Word, and those who don’t believe.

Zechariah 12:2Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. 3And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Isaiah 34: Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it. 2For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. L 3Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. […] 8For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

I don't see that happening with my age group. Besides, you're rude.
