Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”
It was bad enough that ostensibly conservative political commentators Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens both have been the main drivers of a growing divide in the MAGA movement, through their obsession with demonizing Israel and the Jews. Now they have also become leading Western apologists for Islam.
Are they even conservative? Were they ever? (Owens in particular has never been committed to anything but her own grift, not a political philosophy.) Conservatives are defenders; we preserve. Our mission, in large part, is to defend and preserve the liberties our forefathers earned for us. It is to defend and preserve the grand civilizational legacy of the best that has been thought and said. Progressives destroy; they are revolutionaries at heart, whose mission is to destroy the flawed status quo and pave the way for their utopian vision of an ideal society. By this standard, Carlson and Owens are not conservatives; they are destroyers, and the banner of conservatism they formerly flew has been exposed as a mere flag of convenience for them.
What has Owens, for example, built or preserved, apart from her own personal internet fiefdom? The sole focus of her work today seems to be to undermine and drain the surge of goodwill and momentum that fell to Turning Point USA after the heinous assassination of its founder Charlie Kirk, which Owens has lucratively exploited to weave in the antisemitic conspiracy theories that have made her a magnet for Jew-hating losers on the internet. Carlson, meanwhile, has also exploited the America First movement by demonizing Jews and Israel, going so far as to promote slimy white supremacist Nick “Hitler was cool” Fuentes (Carlson himself was recently named Antisemite of the Year by a Jewish civil rights group).
Lately he has shocked conservatives by completely dismissing Islam as a threat to the West: denying Hamas is a terrorist organization, defending sharia law, repeatedly defending Iran as no threat to America or American interests, and hyping wealthy Arab states as crime-free havens of modernization, morality, and sanity compared to Western decadence.
But his most recent, and arguably most outrageous, Islamophilic comments came in an interview published last Friday at The American Conservative, when he condemned what he claims is Right-wing hatred of Muslim Americans, declaring that “radical Islam” is not a problem for Americans. “I don’t know anyone in the United States in the last 24 years who’s been killed by radical Islam,” he stated:
I do know a lot of people who have killed themselves. I know people who’ve died of drug ODs, more than a few. I know people who can’t get jobs. None of the boys in my daughter’s class can get jobs, none of those white boys can get jobs. They’re being destroyed by Adderall and video games and porn. I see millions of Americans being destroyed, and none of it is at the hands of radical Islam. Is radical Islam more dangerous than OnlyFans? It’s not even close. Turning some huge percentage of American women into prostitutes. That’s not radical Islam doing that, actually.
This is such a poorly reasoned argument that one wonders how Carlson can ever be taken seriously as a political pundit. Two obvious flaws immediately come to mind. One is that Carlson is presenting a false choice: suggesting that because other societal ills exist, Islam can’t be a problem too. All of the issues Tucker lists are valid concerns – and so is Islam. How can anyone look at what has become of Europe, Australia, and Michigan thanks to mass Muslim immigration, and not accept that Islam is, as Charlie Kirk plainly put it, “incompatible with Western civilization”?
The other flaw is that Carlson says “radical Islam” is not a threat because it hasn’t killed any American he personally knows. That is his “lived reality” and that of everyone he has ever met, he says (“lived reality,” by the way, is a term which serves as a favorite tactic of the identity-politics Left to prioritize impressionistic, personal experience over empirical evidence and universal Truth).
This claim may or may not be true, because as we’ve seen with another Carlson psy-op, he has also denied knowing people like British activist Tommy Robinson, when there is abundant evidence that Carlson not only had spoken about Robinson publicly but even interviewed him.
In any case, it is shockingly willful blindness to pretend that because he doesn’t know the victims personally, the murders of Americans at the hands of jihadists either never happened or don’t matter because the victims weren’t part of his “lived reality.” To refresh his memory, here are merely a few notable examples:
- The November 5, 2009 Fort Hood shooting by Nidal “Soldier of Allah” Hasan left 13 dead, including a pregnant woman (whose baby also died, making 14 victims);
- The December 2, 2025 massacre of 14 at a San Bernardino holiday party, carried out by “ISIS-inspired” husband-and-wife team Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik;
- The April 5, 2013 Boston Marathon bombing committed by Chechen brothers Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Rolling Stone cover model Tamerlan Tsarnaev, which left 3 dead including an eight-year-old boy;
- The June 12, 2016 Pulse gay nightclub shooting in which ISIS enthusiast Omar Mateen slaughtered 49.
- Another ISIS devotee, Shamsud-din Jabar, plowed his vehicle through a Bourbon Street New Year’s crowd on January 1, 2025, killing 14.*
Those are just a few of the attacks on American soil with the highest body count, and those numbers do not include the wounded, whose “lived reality” was forever marred. But Carlson didn’t know the victims personally, so the attacks never happened.
Note also that Carlson intentionally excluded from his time frame the obvious example of the 9/11 attacks, which murdered 3000 people, almost all Americans. He knew that if he factored that in, his argument would be immediately nullified, so in effect he was dismissing those murders as well.
And that doesn’t even begin to address Carlson’s willful ignorance of the jihad being waged beyond America’s borders: the devastating Islamization of Europe which is fast eclipsing its Christian identity, the genocide of Christians being waged by Islamic “rebels” in Nigeria, and terror attacks in Australia. If Carlson thinks none of this matters because it’s not impacting most Americans personally, he is either stunningly naïve for a political pundit, in willful denial, or knowingly pushing propaganda. My money is on the latter.
Elsewhere in the interview Carlson condemns the Right for attacking Muslims collectively. He is “disgusted” by people who “think that every Muslim is Usama bin Laden.” This is a shamefully inflammatory accusation. No serious American is claiming that every Muslim is another bin Laden. This is the same kind of false argument Leftists insist on making: when the Right says “Islam,” the Left twists it into “all Muslims.” This rhetorical judo is an intentionally disingenuous tactic that enables the Left to pervert legitimate concerns about Islamic dogma into simple bigotry.
Add these interview comments to his screechy AmFest 2025 speech in which Carlson yelled that he found it “disgusting” that “millions of Americans” were being attacked simply for being Muslim (fact check: this is not happening), and it is undeniable that he is purposefully whitewashing jihad and sharia law, and running interference for the Islamic imperative to bring all of dar al-Harb, the “House of War,” into the fold of dar al-Islam.
What has happened to Carlson, who almost overnight went from being the Great White Hope of conservative media to a massive disappointment? Many say he is being paid off by his Qatar masters – he claims in this most recent interview that he has “never taken a penny from a Muslim” – but Carlson has never been hurting for money; surely greed, or greed alone, cannot account for his newfound love affair with Islam. A friend suggested to me, only half-joking, that perhaps Carlson is being blackmailed. That actually might explain the unhinged intensity of his defense of Muslims he claims are not a problem for Americans. I have my own theory, but that’s for another time.
In any case, seemingly referencing Carlson’s controversial interview in a tweet that same day, Candace Owens, whose unhinged but lucrative, conspiracy-mongering obsessions include waging a bizarre campaign to expose the French President’s wife as a man, posted,
No matter how hard the GOP tries to make “radical Islam” happen, the base doesn’t care about it. We are way more concerned about Israel. You can deny reality and scream about Tucker, but the party can no longer be governed by those who refuse to acknowledge the Zionist elephant in the room.
Again, two things to note here. First, the Republican party is not trying to make the threat of Islam “happen”; Islamic supremacists the world over are doing a damn good job of making it happen all on their own, and have been for 1400 years. The Right is not hyping this threat out of proportion to reality; if anything, the Republican Party does not take it seriously enough to take effective action such as the basic first step of officially declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group.
Second, note how Owens claims that she represents the GOP “base.” She does not. What she does represent, and is empowering, is a growing segment of the Right which hates Jews more than it cares about the existential danger of Islam. They are “way more concerned about Israel” because Owens has done more than even Fuentes to fan the flames of the longstanding antisemitic trope that “the Jooz” run everything. Owens’ army believes, as all antisemites do, that jihadists only attack American interests because we support Israel and because Jewish influence runs Washington, D.C.; if that ended, they claim, Muslims would no longer have any incentive to attack us. There could not be a more willful historical ignorance.
Carlson’s and Owens’ total dismissal of Islam as an existential threat to America and the West is in complete contradiction to the prominence it has been given by solidly conservative influencers and activists like Allie Beth Stuckey and the recently assassinated Charlie Kirk. Stuckey posted on X a couple of months ago, “I asked my 840k Instagram followers (mostly Christian women) what their biggest concern is for the country right now, and by FAR the most common answer is the growing influence of Islam. I’d like to see this concern reflected in the GOP asap.” So would I.
Kirk famously noted in recent months that Islam is incompatible with the West, and that “Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America.” Now it’s the sword that the antisemitic, woke “Right” is using, too.
For better or worse (and it’s both), we live in a social media-driven political arena in which the subversive lies, conspiracy-mongering, and propaganda that Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens spew matters. Their combined following on X alone numbers nearly 25 million. Their podcast episodes rack up millions of views each. Everything they say or post becomes a flashpoint of political controversy. They cannot be ignored, and must not be; the No-Enemies-on-the-Right game plan that some conservatives argue is the only way to win is actually a losing strategy, as well as a morally reprehensible one. Carlson and Owens, and their mob of supporters, must be countered with full-throated condemnation from conservatives who care about the flourishing not only of America but of Western civilization at large – because those are the stakes.
* The mainstream media habit of describing jihadists as “ISIS-inspired” begs the question they refuse to address: What exactly inspires ISIS? Hint: it’s in the name “Islamic State.”

There was no Mohammed. There is zero
Proof that he even existed, islam is an Arian heresy, a Christian heresy. The inner ambulatory proves this as it speaks of MHMT as the blessed one referring to Jesus Christ. The Muslims stole part of the writings to create their shahada. Jesus Christ is the true epicenter of truth for all ages and for eternity. I pray for Muslims to open weyes to the truth and as many as 1/4 of Islamic youth indeed are leaving Islam.
Whether Mohammad existed or not is immaterial to the world wide threat his followers and the Koran–a book with concepts cribbed from the sacred writings of the Torah and the NT and abhorrent violence added–continue to pose at an ever faster pace as Quisling like politicians and sold out commentators wave away the danger.
Tucker and Candace! Two peas in a pod. It just goes to show the lack of learning by those two only re enforces the fact that education has sucked in this country much longer than we assumed? Those two Do Dos were the trailblazers for todays youthful ignorance. They both went to school in the 80s and 90s when all this ‘Woke BS” happened along. Both of em are FOS!!
Carlson has really gone nuts and it’s apparent Candace always was. Carlson needs to get checked for ticks or Lyme disease or some other severe mental illness related problem. I vote for bow ties as causation, but maybe they were just veiled advertising or a warning of the underlying chaos and eventual eruption.
Carlson just said the Jews did 9/11 !???!??
Maybe he just received a ton of money.
Well, he has shared that he was molested by a demon, so there’s that.
The demon that “actually mauled” him won.
Yeah well just because it was a demon/supernatural force doesn’t make it a “manly” rape.
Heh, heh. Jeez. Now guys are complaining about being raped. Looks like Tucker’s lightbulb moment was the me, too movement. It probably gnawed at his brain seeing all the attention those women got.
In my opinion Carlson is a paid shill for Islam.
He’s 100% wrong about islamic cowards but he’s right about porn, but the freedom objectivists won’t like it.
Porn has always been around. That isn’t the cause of our current dilemmas. The woke right, just like the left traffics in identity politics, victimization, scapegoating and not taking responsibility, which is why we refer to them as the woke right, though they reject that label.
I’m sick of my people being scapegoated for the failed miserable lives of others and I’ve had enough of the likes of qatarlson and his ilk profiting off of inciting against us, placing Jewish lives in danger. May the woke Reich rot in hell.
When you turn against the Jews you are always on the wrong track
The worst thing about conspiracy theories is that most end with ”ITS THE JEEEWS ”- that’s usually been the pretext for every pogrom
Conspiracy theories are usually an attempt at sophistication by the paranoid and ignorant
Paranoia ruins the human mind
You should look at the comments on The Tucker Carlson Network posts on YouTube. Lots and lots of full mooner “the Jews did everything bad that ever happened in the world” lunacy including WW1, the Holodomor the JFK assassination, the RFK assassination were all the fault of the Jews. Tucker attracts them like feces draws flies.
excellent post, but a point of grammar: “begs the question” does NOT mean “raises the question.” nobody in America can use the term correctly (including you and me) so it’s better not to try.
Remember the Liberty
Islam isn’t the problem, it’s dimwit dhimmi apologists for Islam like most politicians, and the likes of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owen that is the problem. These people show their ignorance of Islam’s wicked supremacist aims for world domination by their apologist stance. The best cure for this ignorance is an objective appraisal of the life of Mohammed from the Meccan period on up to his death. By today’s standards it would be rated MA 15+ or
R 18+. for violence and sexual perversion.
El says Mohammed never ecisted. STJOHNOFGRAFTON recommends reviewing his biography. Difference of opinion folks.
“Are they even conservative? Were they ever?”
Excellent column Mr. Tapson. First rate examination and honest indictment with no quarter.
Tucker Qatarlson has spoken against American retaliation against Iran for their terror attacks on American servicemen. For years I have though Carlson was an Iranian asset – now he has come out of the closet as a supporter and defender of Iran, Hamas and other Iranian terror proxies. FOLLOW THE MONEY – need good investigative skills to expose the treacherous fraud for who he is -a master of deception and manipulation.
CiARLSON CANNOT BE AMERICA FIRST IF HE SUPPORTS AMERICA’S WORST ENEMIES, AND IS AGAINST AMERICAN VALUES AS SEEN WITH HIS RABID ANTISEMITISM.
HIS HATE AND SLANDER FOR PRO-ISRAEL GROUPS AND PEOPLE, SUCH AS EVANGELICAN CHRISTIANS (HUCKABEE) AND PRO-ISRAEL POLITICIANS (POMPEO). SHOULD BE A WAKEUP CALL FOR.
You failed to include the fact that Tucker is also from a wealthy family. I know because he grew up in La Jolla CA, an upper class suburb in the San Diego area near where I live. An area where roughly 1 out of every 10 residents is either a multimillionaire or a billionaire.
His CNN and Fox Network paychecks were nothing more than pocket change to him..
Yea, also AOC and Bernie Sanders are from wealthy families
They think of themselves as above the little people. Contempt breeds tyranny.
I’ve taken to calling him Qatar’s Son
As Mark Levin says, “Tucker Qatarlson”
The answer as to why he did a 180 turn is that he was ALWAYS there – downplaying the dangers of (and promoting) the Obama Iran Nuclear deal, open support of Hamas AFTER Oct 7th (while blasting Israel), pro-Hizbullah and Iran’s biggest supporter and apologist. TUCKER’S CHARACTER IS SERIOUSLY FLAWED – A MORALLY BANKRUPT KOOK WHO IS NOW PROMOTING RABID ANTISEMITES
. He deserves NO benefit of a doubt. His treacherous words and actions say ENOUGH!! And he is on an unholy mission not just to slander pro-Israel Christians (” heretics”), but is poisoning the minds of gullible youth with antisemitic ideas and un-American hatred.
Is it possible that both Ms. Owens and Mr. Carlson, having no real roots in faith or American history, are being provocative simply in order to make money? Perhaps they have a need to be fulfilled by gaining public attention.
Mr. Carlson has said aloud that he doesn’t really believe “in anything, having been raised an Episcopalian.” (I can attest that being baptized, confirmed, and attending Sunday School at an Episcopal Church – even before the denomination set sail for oblivion in the early 1970s – does not yield a Christian rooted in knowledge of the Bible or God’s plan for His creation.) Ms. Owens has said so many contradictory things that they are beyond understanding.
No motive can excuse someone papering over the violent evil of Islam.
I truly believe he is an Iranian asset – not fir money needs, but for their agenda to kill the Jews. That explains why he is promoting neo Nazis. And at the last TPUSA event, he stunned the audience by telling them that Iran is a good force and we should respect them, their antisemitic agenda, etc. Like a final plan for his gurus – AT THE SAME TIME the people of Oran are demonstrating en masses in the streets against their hated leaders – like HERES TUCKER TO THE RESCUE OF T H E ATATOLLAH WHEN HIS REGIME IS ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSE! That behavior is AGAINST Trump’s agenda, the civilized world and against common decency. PURGE THIS CARLSON KOOK!
Carlson and Owens the Stupid and I’m With Stupid of the Islamic Cult
Well both are prostitutes in eyes. Both go where the money is shown being waved in their faces.
Tucker Carlson for the longest time was also the main Putin apologist as well since he felt that it was Ukraine’s fault for getting rid of a pro-Kremlin Ukrainian from the presidential post. After that Tucker made up other excuses for the Russian invasion of Georgia, Chechnya, and Ukraine. Tucker was also pathetically tried to show how Russian supermarkets were more well stocked with food items compared to American shopping markets like a reverse bread line that the former Soviet Union was known for. Now it seems Tucker is in the Qatari courtyard with his “Muslims are the victims, not the bad guys” story line no doubt being pushed by the Saudis and Qataris.
Candace showed her true colors when she went on a Muslim supremacist YouTube channel and proclaim that she was “lied to” about who REALLY caused 9/11 and it was not the followers of the “Religion of Peace.” Candace went even further on her rant that 9/11 was an Israeli master plan to get the U.S. to invade the Middle East and get rid of the Muslims for Israeli’s sake. I, to this day, do not understand how she lasted this long at Ben Shapiro’s The Daily Wire. When her schtick of having proof that French President Macron’s wife is a man did not get her the attentions and clicks that she expected and instead got her a lawsuit, she decided to pivot and pick on the dead body of Charlie Kirk and claim some conspiracy by the Israelis to silence him.
Both people are reprehensible and the sooner they do not get the attention and are ostracized to the way sides, the better the conservative movement will be. Unfortunately, there will always be anti-Semites on the Right and making disparaging remarks on Israel and the Jews but the less mainstream their views are seen the less traction they will get.
Tucker sold his soul to the devil. Basically he’s paid propagandist for Qatar and Muslim brotherhood.
It was expected. I told my friends in 2024 that that will happen, with both.
1. I think trying to figure out their motives is pointless. To my mind, all that matters is what they say and what they say is flat out Hitlerian and anti-American.
2. I vacillate between thinking we need to keep calling them out and exposing them and thinking we shouldn’t give them oxygen and they should simply be ignored. Why dignify their insane ramblings by constantly addressing them? But if we ignore them, then their ramblings go unchecked and that seems wrong.
3. Perhaps a hybrid is best: Just state that they are not conservatives, they are not MAGA, they are not America first or America anything and leave it at that.
4. The problem is that they’re not just a few people spouting off dangerous nonsense in the corner of a room somewhere. They have huge microphones, they use them ,and they are wielding emormous influence. Perhaps the bigger problem is trying to understand what’s going on in America right now that so many people are that ignorant, intellectually lazy, and full of misdirected hate that they follow such vile people.
5. Piggy-backing on the above, there’s JD Vance who may well be the next president and who I believe is a fellow-traveler.
6. Can someone explain why all of these prominent folks shoveling this crap at us seem to be Catholic?
Don’t worry, Rubio will be our next president.
Tucker is not Catholic. Owen’s became one for the hubby. Not raised. Doubt she even knows much about Catholicism.
Catholics have nothing to do with the problem
We are simply all stunned by these horrible anti-American agendas spreading among conservatives – ESPECIALLY AT RISK ARE THE YOUTH, THE FUTURE GENERATION – AND TPUSA MUST RECOGNIZE THAT CARLSON IS TRYING TO HIJACK TPUSA WITH A DESPICABLE NARRATIVE THAT KIRK NEVER ENDORSED!
Because a conspiracy nut always has the answer predetermined no matter what demented logic gymnastics they go through. Neither grew up Catholic and one is not in any way a Catholic, not that you would let that stop you.
Why are so many people still doing the Hatfield and McCoy thing with Catholics?
And for that matter, Jews too?
Move on to your real enemies.
Tapson wrote that “Owens’ army believes, as all antisemites do, that jihadists only attack American interests because we support Israel and because Jewish influence runs Washington, D.C.;” In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met with Tripoli’s ambassador to Great Britain to ask by what right his nation attacked American ships and enslaved American citizens, and why Muslims held so much hostility toward America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts. The two future presidents reported that Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja had answered that Islam “was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran that all nations who would not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.” Note, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja did not say Muslims hated America because of its support of Israel. In 1786 Israel was occupied by the Muslim Ottoman empire an empire that lay siege of Vienna in 1683 a siege that had nothing to do with Israel. America did not exist then. Israel did not declare independence till 1948. There was plenty of Muslim hatred of America and infidels in general long before the modern state of Israel had come into existence.
It’s the Zionists on one side and the Muslim Brotherhood on the other. Oh, only if both would go to a far away land and let the normal live in peace.
The San Bernadino massacre was December 2, 2015.
Carlson is a bloviating, self-absorbed a -whole.
Owens is the Western version of Greta. Thunberg.
They are shape shifters. Money hungry hounds in human guise who always sniff out and follow the scents of cash trails which they use to enrich themselves. It is all about the money with these two buffoons.
After the Tuck was fired from Fox it’s obvious that he got on the “How can I destroy my career in less than a year” train.
I no longer give a crap about the Tuck and haven’t for at least two years. Forget about destroying MAGA. It should have been obvious when no one would fund your insanity
The problem is Tucker’s influence over Trump , if not directly, then via Carlson’s friend and beholden student Vance.
Tucker, Candace, and now Megan. It’s all gone to their heads. Take a look and then pass on by.
It’s what happens when a internet podcast becomes popular and gains a huge following. The podcaster’s head and ego grows proportionately and they become self righteous and full of sh*t.
News flash for those self righteous bozos: sh*t stinks and theirs is not exception.
It’s rather apparent that is lam and CIVILIZED NATIONS do not mix well! The IDEOLOGY is one of hate, oppression, conquest, and death! It has NO PLACE in Our Nation and should be treated as an ANTI-AMERICA FOREIGN ENEMY! Would we allow China or Russia to establish “religious centers” and “preach” for the OVERTHROW of Our Nation?? Probably not, but then! There’s a “tipping point” – we better address it before it’s too late – the EURO’s are finding out now – it’s going to get UGLY there – one way or the other!
Great article evil marxissts and ., musslemans gonna do what they do.: one could say apologists quislings are thee greatest danger. One quibble: your phrase ‘people like Tommy robinson’ seems like a backhanded insult to TR, who seems to be a decent sort and an ally against the izlam hordes; corrrect me if I am wrong….
Tucker and Owens need to be marginalized. They are evil, crazy clowns. Whatever the reasons for them being this way are secondary. The fact is that they are rotten. They are also laughable, but the laughter is bitter. Talk about demons and wacko theories should be dead give-aways that these two are seriously unhinged. Any public figure who takes them seriously should be written off. We need to crowd out the weirdos with normal wholesome candidates and journalists worthy of the name.
A couple of radical muslims tried to kill Pamela Geller several years ago when she hosted a freedom of speech event in Dallas.
An average, everyday muslim murdered his two teenage daughters, Sara and Amina Said, for being too “western”.
Women will be the biggest victims if Islam defeats the West.
It’s also not Carlson’s lived reality.
Say his name. Steven Sotloff. A man kidnapped and murdered by ISIS while working under Carlson, who Carlson and others put on a big show about eulogizing. And now Carlson pretends he never existed, so quick to throw a dead man and supposed friend of his under the bus.
Sorry, thought the text box here was for general writing and not a response to yours. My apologies.
But well said indeed. Those that shill for the Jihadis and Sharia the most are those that will suffer it worst. Qatarlson at least has some excuse in that he “merely” needs to grow his beard out and go through the motions to fully submit. The likes of your average Women’s Studies professor will not be so lucky.
46 Americans were slaughtered or kidnapped and murdered by muslims on 10/7/23 and Carlson sees no problem with that.
Shocking.
Candace Owens, I don’t know her reasons for the virulent antisemitism she is spewing, but it’s there and there is no denying it.
As to Tuckers now pro muslim stance I’ll give you my take:
Tucker was raised by an upper middle-class family with ties to the CIA. His family reminds me of the family in “Gentleman’s Agreement” that went to the country clubs and avoided Jews as much as possible and where they could openly display their virulent antisemitism.
Tucker questions how Americans could be leery of muslims and how unfair it is. Let me remind him what Erdogan of Turkey said right after 911:
“Islam is Islam, there are no qualifiers.”
.
It’s also not Carlson’s lived reality.
Say his name. Steven Sotloff. A man kidnapped and murdered by ISIS while working under Carlson, who Carlson and others put on a big show about eulogizing. And now Carlson pretends he never existed, so quick to throw a dead man and supposed friend of his under the bus.
These two know what others have known for thousands of years:
No one ever went broke hating Jews.
It’s so sad, Owens would be nowhere without PragerU, how disappointed Dennis must be.
“Carlson and Owens, and their mob of supporters, must be countered with full-throated condemnation from conservatives who care about the flourishing not only of America but of Western civilization at large – because those are the stakes.”
Are the conservatives going to counter Owens and Carlson the same way conservatives countered the left and the Communists over the last few decades? The Left and the Communists have gained so much in promoting their agenda simply because conservatives were ‘missing in action’. I don’t know what the conservatives were conserving, but it wasn’t the America I grew up in.
I sure thought that they were smarter than that. Carlson and Owen’s are building up their bank accounts whether they need it or not.
Remember too, the Pulse Nightclub shooter’s father was:*
“Seddique Mateen, father of Pulse nightclub shooter, revealed as longtime FBI informant-“”
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/seddique-mateen-fbi-informant-father-omar-matteen-pulse-nightclub-shooter-updates-2018-03-26/
“The June 12, 2016 Pulse gay nightclub shooting in which ISIS enthusiast Omar Mateen slaughtered 49.
Don’t forget that other little prostitute by the name of Marjorie Taylor Greene. This lilttle Miss Moral Christian American has now proven herself to be a harlot who loves pre-martial sex while still married (now divorced) and hangs around with America hating, Hamas apologists of Code Pink. She’s right up there with Tucker & Candace especially in the hatred of Jews department. Pity that the liberal Jews who always called her out for who & what she were right about her if wrong about everything else.
As for Tucker & Candace no real comment except I NEVER LIKED NOR TRUSTED TUCKER FROM THE GET-GO. Fox made a huge mistake firing O’Reilly and putting this jerk in, and Jesse is ok, but not much of an improvement.
There are tapes of Owens saying that Islam is not compatible with Western Culture, just a few years ago. Proving she is just going wherever the wind blows to get clicks from her antisemitic cult followers. She is a phony through & through.
Actually, I didn’t know an unfortunate soul killed on 9/11, According to Tucker’s calculus, that must not have happened!
Tucker Carlson – his father was CIA, Tucker wanted to be CIA but says he wasn’t accepted (Ya right)
when you have that self professed background there is but one conclusion –
Tucker Carlson is CIA.
and there is a clear color revolution operation being run against MAGA and Trumps Presidency
to split the movement into two sides against each other along religious lines and Another to make you think “Nothing is happening” in the Trump admin/DOJ/FBI et al. equating Trump’s admin with being apart of the swamp.
I believe Most of MAGA is not really paying attention to carlson and candace et al
(i’m not, nor am i paying attention to the Levin side)
but there is a fraction… sometimes just a piece of a big movement can be a detriment to the movement as a whole. because our real POWER IS OUR SIZE those who would like to see America lose know they must split us up by any and all means.
When you give those working against us with propaganda any attention you give them your power
so i would just IGNORE THEM but Expose them where you can.
but mostly keep the movement together….Heads down and MAGA ON!
Mr. Tapson,
Excellent commentary.
You use a figure of 25 million followers for Carlson and Owens. Is that is the number of followers that they claim to have? Do we know how many American followers there are? How many living, Republican-voting followers they have?
Might many or most of those 25 million followers live inside RAM in click farms in Pakistan and Qatar and Russia and China and Venezuela and Cuba and North Korea?
Cui bono?
A carefully worded denial of taking money from America’s enemies may be literally true. But, keep in mind that a podcaster’s advertising rates are set based on the number of followers a podcaster has.
Tucker Carlton and Candace Owens are lunatic grifters with zero credibility. Their banging on a garbage can lid is annoying, and like any loud juveniles, they need to be ignored until they exhaust themselves.
MAGA
Again
Trump 2.0
