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

Bill Kristol is a pedophile.
No, I’m not joking.
Kristol is an alcoholic...lol 😂
And Krystol SUREASHELL IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE ICON!
He is the worst kind of Judas RINO!
I wonder if Kristol is hiding something.
What a childish slur on someone he has known for years. This is the sort of behavior you see when someone has lost touch with reality. Lashing out at everyone they know, nasty accusations with no merit and probably abusing all that are close to him.
