If you are famliar with the Chabad branch of Judaism and know any members of Chabad, you might be mystified by the new front Tucker Carlson has opened in his war on Jews. It would be wrong to ignore him. This particular front may get some people killed.
Opening X this morning, I see that Gad Saad addresses it in a (too) sympathetic post that omits the context of Carlson’s evident mania. Gregg Roman fits the latest twist of Carlson’s anti-Semitic knife into the larger picture: “Tucker Carlson Has Become Tehran’s Most Effective English-Language Propagandist: An Indictment.”
Carlson has called the operation against Iran “absolutely disgusting and evil.” It should be said and said again that what we have here is a pure case of projection.
President Trump responded yesterday: “Tucker has lost his way. I knew that a long time ago, and he’s not MAGA. MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is America first, and Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that.”
I’m glad that President Trump has spoken up. As I say, it would be wrong to ignore Carlson. “Not smart enough” is nevertheless not the problem and “lost his way” is uncharacteristically euphemistic — a nice way to put it. See Gregg Roman’s Middle East Forum essay on Tehran’s most effective English language propagandist (linked above).
