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.
