Texas Senator Ted Cruz takes on the demented antisemite and Hitler worshipper Nick Fuentes and his semi-demented friend Tucker Carlson here: “Ted Cruz Blasts Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes While Declaring a ‘Time for Choosing’ on Right-Wing Antisemitism,” by Corey Walker, Algemeiner, October 31, 2025:
US Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) repudiated controversial pundit Tucker Carlson, antisemitic commentator Nick Fuentes, and Heritage Foundation leader Kevin Roberts while calling out a rise in right-wing antisemitism during remarks at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual summit on Thursday night.
“Now is a time for choosing. Now is a time for courage,” Cruz said to the audience in Las Vegas, Nevada. “If you sit there and nod adoringly as someone tells you that Winston Churchill was the villain of World War II, if you sit there and nod as someone tells you there’s a very good argument that America should’ve intervened on behalf of Nazi Germany in World War II, if you sit there with someone that says that Adolph Hitler was very, very cool, and that their mission is to combat and defeat global Jewry, then you are a coward.”
Cruz was referring to a series of recent podcast interviews in which Carlson hosted controversial guests who made such arguments but did not challenge their views, seemingly endorsing them as legitimate.
Most recently, Carlson conducted a friendly interview with Fuentes, an avowed antisemite and Holocaust denier, that was released earlier this week. During the conversation, both men rebuked Israel and Zionism, with Carlson lambasting Christian Zionism as an affront to the values of Christianity.
“I dislike them more than anybody. Because it’s Christian heresy, and I’m offended by that as a Christian,” Carlson said of Christian Zionists.
Fuentes further declared “organized Jewry in America” as the obstacle preventing Americans from experiencing true unity. He also stated that ‘these Zionist Jews’ need to be removed from the broader conservative movement.
Following the controversial interview, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts issued a statement reaffirming the prominent conservative think tank’s relationship with Carlson. Roberts argued that his loyalties rest with Christianity and the US, and that Christians are not obligated to lend support to Israel. He then repudiated critics of Carlson as “globalists” — a term that many people believe serves as an antisemitic dog whistle — and as a “venomous coalition.” He stated that he does not agree with Fuentes’s antisemitism, but “canceling him is not the answer.”
Roberts’s comments whipped up a firestorm of criticism online, with many Jewish conservatives expressing outrage and feelings of betrayal. Republican Jewish Coalition CEO Matt Brooks wrote that Roberts’s statement “is a total abrogation of their mission and what it means to be a conservative today.”
Carlson has sparked backlash among conservatives over his consistent pattern of condemning Israel and platforming individuals who peddle antisemitic narratives. He has falsely suggested that Israel, the world’s lone Jewish state, oppresses and persecutes Christians….
There is only one country in the entire Middle East where Christians are safe — Israel. Their numbers have been decreasing everywhere else. Five seconds of internet searching would set Carlson straight on that melancholy fact. But he’d only refuse to believe it; don’t confuse him with facts.
The commentator Fuentes has further claimed that “Jews run the news” and defended Hitler, saying that the Nazi leader’s reputation was “crafted by Jews.”
“Everybody, in every nation, in all times, for thousands of years, eventually comes to the conclusion that Jews always act in bad faith,” Fuentes said during an episode of his show.
Does Fuentes mean to include the Jews Jesus and Mary in his fulminations?
Let’s get this clear: Fuentes, with all of the accumulated wisdom of his 26 years, thinks Christian Americans should make a “Holy War” on Jews in order to rid the country of them. In the past, he has called for their “extermination.” Jews, he insists, for “thousands of years” have shown they are crafty and always act “in bad faith.” He has denied the Holocaust.
As for Carlson, he has had as a guest on his show, and did not once contradict, Darryl Cooper, whose views include the claim that America was on the wrong side in World War II, that Winston Churchill was that war’s chief villain, and that the Germans killed the Jews because it was more “humane,” since there was not enough food to feed them.
Cooper, Fuentes, and Carlson deserve one another. They are in the same boat, rudderless, brainless, and drifting in the offing. A ship of fools.
Jesus was a jew,, and I know the Lord gave the land where Israel is gave it to them. He didn’t say yelkin divided to everything you want to. He give it 24 them to keep not to be divided
Don, the LORD also removed the Jews from that land. He is not finished with it or with them or any of us who still breathe in and out. May He have mercy upon all of us!
I know the land the Israel is on. The Lord gave it to them and Jesus was a Jew. I know Israel was God’s chosen people and I honor that always. And will
Do the Jews need the Gospel? Or does the LORD have a special plan, just for them? Did the LORD choose you, Don?
Bull on the Christian narrative. Israel stood by and let the Christians be persecuted and replaced by slimes in numerous cities. Bethlehem was one. It may not have been direct but it was an effective persecution. They were left voiceless and without any power. Might as well said get out of the country.
“If you sit there and nod adoringly as someone tells you that Winston Churchill was the villain of World War II, if you sit there and nod as someone tells you there’s a very good argument that America should’ve intervened on behalf of Nazi Germany in World War II, if you sit there with someone that says that Adolph Hitler was very, very cool, and that their mission is to combat and defeat global Jewry, then you are a coward.”
Very nice Ted. Although before it was often costly, not very bright for conservatives to speak out. You could make a target out of yourself and could sacrifice yourself for very limited gain, before Trump and they are still getting away with it.
Carlson was one of my biggest disappointments ever. Pence I was totally taken in by too. I looked for Tucker to redeem himself, but this proved to be at his core. The other interesting stuff he’s said is trumped. No more checking on what he has to say.
Senator Cruz has consistently been the strongest advocate for Israel and the strongest voice against anti-Semitism in the US Senate.
Would that he saw his role as representing and advocating for the people who elected him.
Okay okay! I am convinced by your downvotes. Cruz was elected to represent the interests of Israel, not his constituents. I get it now!
“Would that he saw his role as representing and advocating for the people who elected him.”
Would that you could actually show us where you were appointed to speak on behalf of the voters who elected Cruz.
Tucker Carlson can go and piss into the wind and get a load of himself. He and his friends can go and piss off into permanent irrelevance. If JD Vance sticks with those putzes he should be unceremoniously ditched in the dustbin of history.
The Woke-Jihadis will happily murder any and all Christians (and anybody else who is not a woke-Jihadi for that matter) regardless of any attempted pandering. It never ends with the Jews.
“I dislike them more than anybody. Because it’s Christian heresy, and I’m offended by that as a Christian,” Carlson said of Christian Zionists.”
– that is why Carlson’s rabid hatred and malicious slandering of Mike Pompeo get Pompeo booted from Trump’s circle. Now Carlson is going after Mike Huckabee. WAKE UP TRUMP!!!
Carlson is a malignant force who is more interested in promoting his antisemitism and brainwashing conservative, malleable youth than he is in promoting America. That is why he was against America taking any actions against Iran for years.
Enacting Carlson’s recommendations cannot be in the best interests of America, precisely because Carlson’s interests are not and never have been.
So glad someone other than Mark Levin is commenting about Carls0n AKA “Quatarlson” and Fuentes. I don’t know how Tucker managed to keep his anti-semitism under wraps when he was at Fox. It’s pretty clear why he was fired.
As for Fuentes I am only recently becoming aware of this low life. He appears to be your average run-of-the-mill Jew hating Nazi. Just another in the long line of the now fashionable post Oct 7 Jew Hating crowd.
I’ll just add him to the stew of Jew haters on this site and elsewhere.
On a side note it’s unclear how many Jews voted for MammDammi but there couldn’t be a bigger warning. Z.M. is too smart to pull the trigger himself on the Jews but his Muslim buds are certainly clearing and cleaning their guns for the upcoming Jihad. What was that about voting for your own executioner?
Intrepid said: “On a side note it’s unclear how many Jews voted for MammDammi…”
The most widely publicized figure was 39% of Jews, in a survey that asked respondents for the religion they identified with.
In a later survey, respondents were asled what religion they actually practised, and then the Jewish vote for Mamdani went down to little more than 10% (I don’t have the second figure in front of me, but it was cited recently in the “Scroll” section of “Tablet” magazine).
So NYC’s Jews aren’t quite at the stage of “tolerating themselves out of existence” as one commentator (Daniel Greenfield?) said when only the results of the first survey were available.
Yes, it’s true Jesus is the blessing for all nations. But, you left out “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee.”
Left out? God was referring to Abraham’ seed, which is Christ. Read Galatians.
I will add that the premillennial dispensationalism that gives rise to so-called “Christian Zionism” is HATEFUL to Jews and was unknown in the Church until the late 1800’s..
It believes Jews DO NOT NEED the Gospel. MUCH worse, it uses Jews as an eschatological tool to bring about the 2nd coming of Christ, oblivious to their ultimate well being! Did our LORD not come first to them? Is the New Covenant and the Gospel not FOR them? PD teaches the New Covenant is only for Christians, despite its constant reference in the Old Testament! When Jesus took the cup, did He not say, “This is the New Covenant in My blood”?
Remember when Andrew Klavan said Ben Shapiro did not need the Gospel because he was doing so well and it would make things too difficult for him? THAT was premillennialism dispensationalism talking.
There is only one way of salvation, and it is not through keeping the law or having a special religious practice or DNA — the New Covenant makes that clear.
And there are LOTS of Jews AND Christians who are not Zionists. So terms like “Zionism” and “anti-semitism” should be used much more precisely. I hate the term “anti-semitism” because from Shem came other nations, not just the Jews. A better, simpler term would be “Jew hatred.”
There is a lot of knee-jerk purity spiraling here, so do not flinch when you get downvotes from those who will not or cannot engage with your points. I will pray for your discernment and strength, and that your efforts will be pleasing in His sight.
Thank you. 100%.
“Remember when Andrew Klavan said Ben Shapiro did not need the Gospel because he was doing so well and it would make things too difficult for him? THAT was premillennialism dispensationalism talking.”
Spot on, brother.
The fact that TC would even bother to “interview” (was it even an interview?) is telling. Fuentes, clearly unhinged and hateful, doesn’t deserve any serious attention, yet TC gave him plenty. Why???
Fuentes has millions of followers.
hardly millions.

He’s a low life scumbag, Jew hating antisemitic POS.
According to X, Fuentes has 1 million followers, even though he was cancelled there a little more than a year ago.
As you point out, there are other platforms where he has followers and his influence is growing, not slackening.
The people who want to cancel Fuentes and Tucker are behaving like the Stasi. Trying to cancel / repress free speech contributes to the growth and success of those who dare to raise the forbidden issues. We are America, and so there should be no forbidden issue.
What is wrong with asking about America’s relationship with Israel? Is it strategic and healthy? Why or why not? Is it proper? Why do we give Israel billions of dollars each year? How is that money used? These basic questions deserve to be answered. Weak viewpoints need to be challenged with reason and evidence.
The truth should be unafraid to step into the light.
x is full of communists, Nazis and all sort of freak shows with a lot more than 1 million followers
Fuentes isn’t “asking question about America’s relationship with Israel”, , He’s talking about killing all the Jews and millions of other people.
If you want to start with the truth stepping into the light, let’s start there.
Also, if you want to promote a movement of trolls by a gay Mexican Nazi who declared that “marriage is gay”, go for it
But it would seem to be a humiliating thing for any adult over 16 to be involved in
And isn’t the future of anything
“The truth should be unafraid to step into the light.”
Well, the neo-Nazis/neo-Stalinists and their equally odious apologists and defenders certainly aren’t afraid to step into the light, so you do have a point about the truth.
The problem is it appears that truth has been trying to catch up with you your entire life, and so far as these posts show, you have managed to stay one step ahead of it your whole life.
“Fuentes has millions of followers.”
Whatever the hell the number is, how does that number magically give him validity as the disgusting neo-Nazi and/or neo-Stalinist?
If all of his comments about Israel and/or Jews were erased and all that remained was the rest of his content on other subjects, he would still be nothing but an odious cull.
Does he have about the same number of followers as AOC, Joy Reid, and many of the other communist culls in the social bloviating world?
And does the fact every one of them has many followers mean they must be right or they wouldn’t have that many followers – like Fuentes?
Pathetic.
What in the world does that have to do with anything? Taylor Swift has millions of followers and I have the same interest in her or anything she has to say: zero.

I’m grateful that platforms for Free Speech are available to expose points of view that reveal or hide truth.
Nick Fuentes appearing in the White House with KenYE West formed my opinion without knowing much about who he is. Watching his interview with Tucker Carlson allowed me to better form my impression of him just as viewing Senator Ted Cruz on the defensive signaled something about his character. Nick will not likely attract an audience or platform that Charlie Kirk developed and Ted Cruz will not likely become POTUS. The zealousness of Fuentes does not express wisdom and the intellect of Cruz has no mercy (but I do wonder how less than visible he was regarding the border invasion representing Texas).
Does dismantling MAGA serve the interests of Islam, Israel or public figures?
Oh, are you guys finally realizing Tucker Carlson was born and raised and lived his whole life as a leftist democrat with a show on msnbc, surrounded by leftists, long before he was on Fox? You think his latest costume-play as a “conservative Christian” is authentic? What did he say in his leaked text messages? He’s intentionally undermining Conservatives and causing turmoil, just like Candace Owens and others. Open your eyes.
With all due respect, your entire religion is heresy. Leave the rest of us out of your jihad. Thanks!
I know nothing about the people mentioned in this informative and interesting article except as names in the news and after reading this, I don’t want to know anything about them. What a pack of odious sounding people. I’m not a conservative or Christian or Jewish (I’m an anti-Totalitarian anti-Utopian 70-year-old realist human being) so I’m reading all of this from the outside, trying hard to keep an open mind. But all I see is a very old madhouse that I thought was long dead. Skimming through these comments (and I know many of the commenters mean well) I see exactly why the Left is winning and deserves to win if this is the alternative. The “arguments” here are like reading the 1492 Malleus Maleficarum, Hammer of Witches — a Bedlam of ancient factionalisms and who hates who and why and who should be burned at the stake and who will do the burning. Absolutely toxic and utterly repellent to any non- or anti-Left person who’s outside this “religious” bubble. This is why the Left hates you. This is why the anti-Left is losing. Only a large comet could end this madness of “religious” hatreds once and for all! Unbelievable in 2025. So sad.
Your argument is based upon cherry-picking passages from the Bible – correction, from the New Testament – to prove a theological proposition that goes against the plain, simple meaning about “the seed” of Abraham. Would you argue that righteous of Israel – the soc-called “remnant” – in the time of judges, the kings, the dispersion to Babylon, and the pre-Second Temple era actually “believed” in the unknown “seed,” JC? Give me a break.
From Jer 31 –
35 This is what the Lord says,
He who gives the sun for light by day
And the [n]fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
The Lord of armies is His name:
36 “If [o]this fixed order departs
From Me,” declares the Lord,
“Then the descendants of Israel also will cease
To be a nation before Me [p]forever.”
Tucker not an antisemite? Hilarious claim.
I’ve never been aligned with any religious doctrine or group, so my perspective may be somewhat detached. On the other hand, I’ve had friends and family who come from every mainstream denomination you can think of (plus a few most would regard as off-beat or unique). In any case, It’s looked to me like every group has always had an ongoing effort to gain converts. That would be natural, to which I have no objection. But once the subject becomes part of someone’s political litmus test, that’s where I draw the line.
“If anyone saw the interview with Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson it was clear Tucker humiliated Cruz.”
You are no more convincing, and no more palatable, than what Tucker Carlson is today.
When attention whores need to make a living, they will go on public venues and say whatever they need to say to get maximum attention and bang for the buck. I don’t know why anyone cares so much about what Fuentes and Tucker say.
EF’em.
