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...”

I think his “brain-eating parasite” takes the form of fat checks coming from the Middle East. He’s bought and paid-for, very literally.
I wouldn’t watch cucker at gunpoint!
There is no bottom for the insane and the left. If they do hit what we would call rock bottom they then bring out jackhammers and backhoes.
What age group is that? Anecdotal fallacy, btw.
Besides, you're rude.
OK, but it changes nothing about the facts. Israel's conduct in the war and influence over American politics has negatively affected the American public's view of that foreign country.
Is a person desiring the Islamization of the West an enemy of the West?
WHY is anyone still listening to Tucker Carlson? Has he not demonstrated, beyond a shadow of doubt, that he is really an antisemite at heart and really had some people fooled for a long time? Best of all, he found some wealthy folks to subsidize his native attitude.
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.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
bout time for the jews to walk away from the dems?
Tucker supports the Iran-Russia-North Korea-China-Alliance and Qatar of course…
This, he has become insane.
It’s sad, because I appreciated his FoxNews shows in the old days.
When the West was Christian, yes of course.
Even if they weren't Christian (2/3 to 3/4 identify as such depending on which poll you consult), in 2026 is someone desiring the Islamization of the West an enemy of the West?
I just said yes. But if America chooses Islam/LGBT, I’ll take my family to a Christian nation.
This goat lover is ineligible for the ballot for the simple fact that he cannot swear nor uphold an oath to the Constitution. Why are these invaders being allowed on the ballot?
Exactly
Tucker who?
And I refuse to listen to Karlsen at cannon point!
LOL!
Nevah happen.
Has anyone uncovered the real story on why Carlson has gone around the bend? He doesn’t sound like he’s coming back either.
