In this episode of his notebook, Beinart speaks about Tucker Carlson and other right-wing commentators and their unabashed anti-Black and anti-immigrant bigotry as well as their Jew hatred. Carlson is the well-known former Fox News commentator who since 2023 hosts the right-wing talk shows “Tucker on X” and “The Tucker Carlson Show.”

This discussion is timely. Carlson and other ultra-rightists have recently broken with U.S. president Donald Trump over the Iran war, claiming that Israel forced Washington into attacking Tehran. In a recent podcast, for example, Carlson proffered “remorse” for his previous exaltations of Trump and for vigorously campaigning for Trump’s re-election in 2024.

In the transcript below, Beinart presents convincing evidence that confirms Carlson’s bigotry and Jew hatred.

I think Carlson is a bit worse than a bigot; he is willing to conform to any style of thought.

Today it’s bigotry, and climate skepticism. In twenty years, probably will be a famous proponent of climate saving. Then a bit later a champion of human rights, then later promoting genocide for a white ethnostate.

A normal bigot will vomit out nonsense. He will use hatred whenever possible for his own power, coldly and logically.

I have a problem with making one type of racism more important than another. Islamophobia, anti black racisms is as serious as antisemitism.

The great replacement conspiracy today is more islamophobic and anti black than antisemetic since most immigrants are muslims and black.

I don't think the point was to classify antisemitism as more important than Islamophobia or anti-black racism. It has been around a long time and is often denied by those who promote it.

But the fact that some radical and progressive activists are seeing Carlson as some sort of ally against Zionism is concerning, and needs to be combatted.

So why most people call him specifically an antisemite rather than while supremacist which include antisemitism? It is not the productive way to talk about him badly when he specifically talk about Gaza. We can keep call out his supremacism ideology without tying it every time to the genocide

Nice try, genocide supporters. We see right through your bullshit. Israel is just mad Tucker is calling out your shit.
