“Extraordinary charges, such as Epstein was a Mossad agent, require extraordinary proof – or at least some evidence – and Tucker Carlson has produced neither, aside from Epstein’s alleged association with a former Israeli Prime Minister.”
Who are you going to believe, Donald Trump or Tucker Carlson? Last weekend’s Turning Point USA Student Action Summit devolved into a disappointing mishmash of anti-Semitism and conspiracy theory headlined by Tucker Carlson’s unhinged rant about Jeffery Epstein being an Israeli intelligence agent.
Normally, we would cover the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit with joy at seeing a new generation of conservatives being energized by the A-list of conservative thinkers, but this past weekend’s SAS left us scratching our heads in astonishment and concern that our friend Charlie Kirk, President of Turning Point USA, would intentionally immerse young conservatives in such nonsense.
Tucker’s regular hosting of rabidly anti-Semitic guests and forays into anti-Semitic commentary on his streaming channel have been criticized by others, and we saw little reason to pile on until now when he took is evidence-free, indeed reality-free anti-Semitism to one of the marquee events of the conservative lecture circuit.
During his remarks, Carlson claimed Jeffrey Epstein was an Israeli agent who blackmailed US politicians on Friday while addressing a political gathering for young voters in Florida.
The former Fox News host issued his wild conspiracy theory about Epstein as MAGA implodes over the Trump administration’s handling billionaire’s so-called “client list.”
“The real question is, why was he doing this, on whose behalf, and where did the money come from?” Tucker asked about Epstein’s mysterious fortune. “And those are the questions that need to be answered. And I think it’s entirely fair to ask them.”
True enough, but asking those questions and then supplying your own evidence-free anti-Semitic answer is not edgy, it’s dishonest and racist. ….SOURCE
