MAGA civil war deepens as Tucker Carlson meets with Trump in the Oval Office while teasing conservative rivals... as ADL says he should have 'no place in the White House'
Daily Mail ^ | January 17, 2026 | Sophie Gable

Tucker Carlson met with Donald Trump at the White House - and his appearance in the Oval Office has sparked another chapter in the growing MAGA civil war.

The former Fox News anchor was seen beaming in images shared by his Tucker Carlson Network to social media on Friday, including engaging in a friendly conversation with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles was also seen at the meeting.

The Anti-Defamation League, a nonprofit organization with a mission to combat antisemitism, issued a scathing response to the meeting on X, writing: 'Tucker Carlson should have no place in the White House. He's amplified and platformed antisemitic narratives for years.'

Carlson came under fire from fellow conservatives for hosting far-right provocateur and white supremacist Nick Fuentes on his show.

Mark Levin, a conservative broadcaster on Fox News, led the outrage as he called Carlson a 'Nazi promoter' for hosting Fuentes.

In response to Carlson being invited to the sit-down with Trump, podcaster and former Fox personality Megyn Kelly poked fun at Levin, commenting that the social media post will give him 'an aneurysm.'

Kelly has said her disagreements with Levin date back to working alongside him at Fox News, and in recent weeks has criticized him for attacking other MAGA influencers as the movement shows signs of splintering.

Under the post Carlson shared to Instagram, his nicotine pouch company ALP also shared a video comment mocking Laura Loomer.

It's the second time this month that Carlson has been spotted at the White House.

Trump evidently does not care what anyone thinks of whoever he meets with.

Just yesterday he met with Schumer.

There was a time when you could take a guy like Carlton and sit him down with actual concentration camp survivors for an afternoon. They could have shown him the SS numbers tattooed on their arms.

If President Trump invited Fuentes to the White House it would cause heart attacks all over the place—the zero population growth crowd would love it.

Lol.

Trump talks with anyone who matters. He would even talk to the ADL. Nitwits.

“”Trump talks with anyone who matters. He would even talk to the ADL. Nitwits.”””

He talks to EVERYBODY. He recently called Gray Beaver Warren. He talks to Zohran Madman.

Pretentious idiots brag about an open door as a virtue although their door is never truly open.

Trump has an open door.

He met with Morning Joe and Mika after his third victory.

I had no problem with that.

I knew as Trump knew NOTHING would ever come of it other than it demonstrated that Trump is open to meeting with his harshest critics which makes him a better man than me.

I knew someone would post that.

But Trump has met both Tucker Carlson and Mark Levin. Which one is he keeping closer?

You go to war with the assets you have available.
You make alliances when necessary.
You still have to deal with the traitors in your own party.

Both. For different reasons. If you scratch the surface of either of those two, you may find alliances that are not in America’s best interests. Period. Whether it be muslim or Israeli. My two cents.

This is an unpopular opinion around here, I know, but I am glad that DJT is still willing to meet with Tucker. It’s valuable and useful for a leader to hear an array of voices, including contrarian voice’s like Tucker. I get it that, from the point of view of the ADL, Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro, it’s “Carlson delenda est” ... but it’s a relief that Trump ain’t buying that crap.

Tucker Carlson vs. the ADL? Neither conservative nor MAGA. A flippin purse fight between lying scumbags.

But this is the only kind of shit you post.

Wrong Daily Fail. Tucker Carlson is MAGA. Neocons like Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, etc are not MAGA.

Tucker represents the true conservative populist voice and I’m glad Trump is listening to him. Israel firsters are mad of course but fortunately their influence is dying out.
