The New York Times Interviews Tucker Carlson, and It Gets Worse From There
PJ Media ^ | 05/07/2026 | Robert Spencer

The fact that the New York Times would interview Tucker Carlson in the first place is an indication of how much the former Fox host has gone off the rails. The Times only interviews people who support its far-left worldview, including endless vilification of Israel for alleged war crimes in Gaza, and Carlson was ready with the goods. In his interview, which was published Saturday, Carlson adopts the pose of a moral philosopher to attack the Jewish state, and Judaism as well, from a new angle:

I think what we’re seeing is evil. Are you allowed to kill people who’ve committed no crime? No. Super simple. You’re not allowed to do that. Under no moral standard is that allowable. All of a sudden it’s allowable in Gaza, and our leaders are like, Yeah, it’s totally fine. It’s not fine. It’s repugnant to the Christian understanding of the world and the human soul. Every person has a soul. That’s the Christian view, and not just the Christian view, it’s the Islamic view, too. And it’s my view.

So you see, his implication here is that while Christians and Muslims believe that everyone has a soul, those wicked Jews do not, and so they don’t hesitate to kill people who have committed no crime in Gaza. Virtually every aspect of this statement is false, and since Carlson still wields massive influence, all the falsehoods must be exposed.

Carlson includes a kernel of truth in his lies and deflections, and that makes them all the more insidious. Like Christianity, Islam does indeed teach that “every person has a soul.” But the Qur’an also teaches that non-Muslims are “like cattle, no, they are worse.” (7:179) It says that non-Muslims are “the most vile of created beings” (98:6), and calls them “the worst of animals” (8:55).

He needs to be schooled on the just war doctrine.

Does d he sleep though Oct 7 and the months long kidnappings? The thousands and thousands of rockets, guided and unguided, sent by Hamas from Gaza into Israel?

What a buffoon he has become and an apologist for Iranian terrorist butchers.

Someone should try to make Tucker aware of Oct. 7. He seems oblivious to what happened then.

“Are you allowed to kill people who’ve committed no crime?”

It sounds like every war we ever fought was wrong, according to TC.

Or does he have an elastic understanding of the word “crime.” Fine. Any party, people, or state that harbors terrorists has committed a crime. Bombs away.

Tucker started dodging and weaving when asked:

—When he last talked to Vice President Vance

—Why his son no longer worked for President Vance

It was rather amusing.

If he does not want to disclose basic facts then he should not do such interviews.

We gave Tucker enough rope. He hanged himself. So why do we still have to hear what he says?

Correction—second reference should be Vice President Vance.

The next Presidential inauguration has not happened yet.

Lol.

Take your pick:

A. Carlson has decided to stop hiding his rabid antisemitism.
B. Carlson is in the pay of Muslims.
C. Both A and B.

When hamass started a war and used human shields, they became responsible for the expected collateral damage Israel has heroically tried to minimize.

Hamass’s fault!!!

Tucker is what you get if you drag a hundred dollar bill through a news room.

What ever opinion ever pays him wants him to push, that is what the little sock puppet will say.

Tucker's dead to me. Don't care what he does.

Tucker is from money so he doesn’t really need it, got to be a better explanation. Same with Megan Kelly, something really strange happening.

It’s supernatural — in a bad way.

Some people can never have enough.

And that money is his dad's. Not his.

Tucker Carlson has appeased and supported Neo-Soviet Russia and absolute gangsters like Putin to such a degree that it has become truly filthy and completely incomprehensible. The new anti-Americanism is born.
He has also turned against America’s number one ally Israel to a level that is indescribable. We live in dangerous, deranged, decadent times…
