The apple falls far from the tree Massive Scoop: Tucker Carlson's Father Was a Zionist. Former FDD fellow Joel Mowbray reveals the deep pro-Israel roots of the late Dick Carlson, sharing a moving account of their time together at Yad Vashem. Mowbray draws a sharp contrast between the elder Carlson’s lifelong Zionism and the Israel-hating rhetoric of his son, Tucker, exposing a stark generational rift.

It’s helpful to get to know Tucker Carlson if you know about his past. Despite being wealthy, he failed to get into the top-level schools, first for private school and then later for college. Friends from that time talk about how resentful he was over that. As a nepo baby, he was always had a grudge against people who had legitimate achievements. And if you watch him you can see his entire approach is is that of resentfulness and envy. It’s very poisonous.

Tucker is so brilliant that he knows more about the Bible than Franklin Graham, Pastor Jack Hibbs, the late Pastor Charles Stanley, the late Pastor John MacArthur, and majority of the Pastors who believe 100% of the word of God.

Israel is God’s chosen people.
Bless Israel be Blessed.
Curse Isreal be cursed.
In the last days Israel will become a nation in one day (it happen in 1948)
The Church and Israel are separate.
The Church will be Raptured before the great wrath(tribulation)

Tucker thinks this list is wrong.

Being a Zionist is what the Bible commands. LOOK UP WHAT ZOINIST MEANS.

I think Tucker likely has Mommy issues as his mother abandoned the family when he was quite young to pursue her art career.

Tucker Carlson’s father has the resume of a career “Deep State” operative.

Just the intro on his Wikipedia page would be enough to convince me:

Richard Warner Carlson ... was an American journalist, diplomat and lobbyist who was the director of the Voice of America from 1986 to 1991.

You tell me if this sounds like a trustworthy American:

Carlson testified dozens of times before various U.S. Congressional committees, including the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Relations Committee. He was also involved in negotiations on behalf of the U.S. government with many foreign governments, including those of China, Korea, the USSR, Germany, Georgia, Zaire (today the Democratic Republic of the Congo), Lesotho, South Africa, Somalia, and Israel.

In 1990, while serving as Director of VOA, Carlson jointly addressed the Israeli Knesset with Steve Forbes.

In 1994, Carlson was an international observer at the first democratic elections in South Africa.

In 1997, he was deployed by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe to work as an international observer at the Parliamentary Elections in Albania, overseeing polling places near the Greek border.

From 1992 to 1997, he was president of InterMedia, the Russian state-owned global research consulting firm which conducts opinion surveys for government agencies in over 75 foreign countries.

In 2003, Carlson became the vice-chairman of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, the counter-terrorism institute in Washington, D.C., and Brussels, Belgium. He held the position for eight years.[

My uncle had several fruit trees on his property. When I visited we would walk down the hill and pick up the apples there. The apple tree was on the top of the hill. When an apple dropped off the tree, it rolled downhill. I would appear Tucker’s family tree is on the top of a hill and he had rolled way down hill from his roots.

Tucker reminds me of another screwball Ezra Pound.

“In 1994, Carlson was an international observer at the first democratic elections in South Africa.”

Two wolves and a sheep voted on who is for dinner.

But—the process was valid.

Lol.

Tucker’s part in the interview was cringy. Maybe the Biden administration had nothing to do with FOX getting rid of him...

The apple falls far from the tree. Massive Scoop: Tucker Carlson’s Father Was a Zionist.

Zionism’s roots are entangled with the Bolshevik tree...

It’s all about the governmental structure and not the heaets and minds. The ooze of Marxism sticks to many things along its path... like a garden slug.

Soros the socialist is anti Zionist.

Communist Russia was the first anti zionist force.

Tucker Carlson says that he hates Christian Zionists “the most.” His dad, Amb. Dick Carlson — whom I adored — was a Christian Zionist.
Watch how he discusses “people use the word Zionist a lot,” re those who attacked his then-employer/
