Tucker Carlson’s Sleight of Hand

Tucker’s interview with U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee showed his true colors.

Tucker Carlson is a disingenuous fellow. He has always claimed that he does not hate Jews, but now is opposed to Zionism. While maintaining that he is not antisemitic, he accuses the IDF of killing “thousands of children”. He flew into Ben Gurion Airport—” at great expense” from the guy with tens to hundreds of millions of dollars—and blamed Israel for his not moving into the country. He said that it would have been “dangerous” for him to head to Jerusalem or that Bibi Netanyahu would not let him leave the airport. It’s all a grift to make Israel look as bad as possible.

Mike Huckabee did a great service to the US and mankind by showing the deceiver that Carlson has become. Every time he successfully deflected or crushed a Carlson lie, Tucker moved onto another topic or, once again—like LeBron James flopping—declared that he does not know definitions or understand issues. One claim that was wildly outrageous but extremely telling was Carlson’s claim that we need to run DNA tests to see who the “real descendants of Abraham” are. Now, he claimed that he believes that whoever those real descendants are, they deserve the land of Israel. He made a big effort to describe such land as being between the Nile and the Euphrates, even though the Torah does not give such a big chunk of land and the state of Israel has made it clear that it has no interest or mandate to make the secular state of Israel a copy of the Biblical land as described in the Five Books of Moses.
