Ted Cruz Slams Tucker Carlson Over Claims Charlie Kirk Was Anti-Israel and Hated' Netanyahu
"I was shocked and sickened by the reaction of the ghoulish and really repulsive reaction of the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, to Charlie's death, Carlson said on Tuesday's Tucker Carlson Show. Basically made it all about him and all about his country, immediately trying to take the energy, the sadness, the grief that people felt over Charlie's murder and redirect it towards support for whatever project he's involved in."
"I'm getting really tired of Tucker & his cronies falsely claiming Charlie agreed with me that Israel is terrible & the problem in America is all the damn Jews. I knew Charlie well & indeed the very last conversation we had was how deeply concerned he was about the rising, toxic wave of antisemitism on the right. I'm getting really tired of Tucker & his cronies falsely claiming Charlie agreed with me that Israel is terrible"
Sen. Ted Cruz publicly rebuked Tucker Carlson for claiming Charlie Kirk was anti-Israel and aligned with criticism of Israel. Cruz wrote that Kirk opposed antisemitism and had expressed deep concern about a growing toxic wave of antisemitism on the right during their final conversation. Tucker Carlson criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s public tribute to Kirk after Kirk was shot and killed at a Utah Valley University event, calling Netanyahu’s reaction self-centered and an attempt to redirect grief toward support for his own political projects. The exchange intensified debate over Kirk’s legacy, Israel, and rising antisemitism.
