Lion Ted Cruz to antisemite Tucker Carlson: ‘If you're not an antisemite, give me another reason - Why the obsession with Israel?!’
Tucker Carlson’s YouTube from June 18, 2025. It’s not his fault he completely got the situation wrong, as both the Trump administration and the Israelis had not yet Revealed All. Interestingly, the video was released with Russian subtitles.
Ted Cruz gives Carlson a good working-over and explains in small words what AIPAC is: patriotic Americans who strongly support the alliance between America and Israel. Carlson starts with his "Jews control the US government" conspiracy theories and Cruz takes him apart brick by brick. Cruz is a DC insider who is very familiar with AIPAC and knows what they do, and he's not having any of what Carlson is selling. It's beautiful to watch.

Carlson immediately retreats to the first resort of antisemites: JAQ. "Just asking questions". Tucker keeps JAQing off and Cruz slaps him soundly every time. Tucker even literally says "The Jews" while making the quote marks gesture with his fingers.
I have to wonder if Mr. Carlson is actually neutral on Israel and “The Jews”, just catering to the noisy, Israel-hating part of his audience rather than leading them, because he objects to the idea of a monolithic group called The Jews with scare quotes — I never got my news from television, so know nothing about the man except what I’ve read here at Rantburg. Senator Cruz makes a really good point that as a politician he can find donors for whatever positions he takes, and that he was a supporter of Israel long before AIPAC discovered him.
