Conservative stalwart Bill Kristol stepped up his attacks on Tucker Carlson, calling his former employees Fox News show close to racism and ethno-nationalism of some kind.
In an interview with CNBCs John Harwood that aired Thursday, Kristol stopped short of calling Carlsons primetime show racist, but said the shows content came close.
He had always a little touch of Pat Buchananism, I would say, paleo-conservativism, Kristol said of Carlson. But thats very different from what hes become now.
I mean, it is close now to racism, white I mean, I dont know if its racism exactly but ethno-nationalism of some kind, lets call it. A combination of dumbing down, as you said earlier, and stirring peoples emotions in a very unhealthy way.
Carlson was quick to respond mostly with befuddlement.
Im not even sure what hes accusing me of. He offers no evidence or examples, just slurs, and then suggests that Im the demagogue, Carlson told TheWrap. Pretty funny. Kristols always welcome on my show to explain himself, though I assume hes too afraid to come. What a shame. It would be revealing.

I used to think Kristol was a a good person.
Now he’s evidently gone over to the Dark Side.
Or maybe he was always there and now the mask is off....................
“Kristol is a maroon. “
Kristol is a Secular Progressive Jew masquerading as a Conservative.
bfl
Who is Bill Kristol? Ahh...nevermind, nobody cares.
Any article that states Sweet Billy is a conservative can’t be taken seriously.
Kristol is a bitter old man. Guess that’s what happens when you go from a respected conservative thought leader to a somewhat famous cruise director in a matter of months.
-—Conservative stalwart Bill Kristol...-—
No need to read any further; author discredits himself right here.
The open borders crowd has decided that anyone who opposes unrestricted open borders is racist.
They won’t even engage in a rational discussion:
Controlled borders = ethno nationalist = racist
Just like with global warming, it’s settled in their minds.
That kind of irrational entrenchment is how the shooting starts.
He’s an irrelevant never-Trumper putz.
I thought he retired.
He’s the worst RINO ever.
Look at the entire Kristol clan and, particularly, his daughter and son-in-law at the Washington Free Bacon.
Kristol clan has too much knowledge of the Fusion GPS shady business.
I didn’t bother to read the article — whatever Kristol said, he’s wrong.
Desperately trying to be relevant.
That's the money line. Kristol should stop the cowardly accusations and appear.......
The GOPe pharisees are so consumed with pride and vanity they can not see or hear.
Bill, I will watch Tucker. I won’t watch you. I have NEVER seen anything on Tucker that approaches racism. I get sick and tired of loosely throwing around the charge of racism. I sort of understand Democrats doing it because they routinely trade in ridiculous garbage. But it is quite unbecoming of loser Establishment Republicans to join in the mindless accusation game. Bite me, Bill.
Kristol is a quintessential neocon. Generally statist and progressive in his political outlook, and loves using the that power to nation-build and wage war overseas.
