Tucker Carlson
Tucker Carlson is a self-identified Christian who has recently described a significant deepening of his faith. Raised in the Episcopal Church, he has become a vocal critic of the denomination, lately referring to it as "not Christian at all" and an "angry, hateful organization". Since early 2023, Carlson has been systematically reading the Bible, a practice he describes as "the most interesting thing" he has ever done. He attributes his increased devotion to observing what he perceives as a tangible "spiritual battle" between good and evil in modern social. His current focus is on understanding Jesus and the practice of prayer, though he maintains that he lacks deep formal theological training. Carlson's views have sparked debate within American Christianity, particularly regarding: He has recently criticized Christian Zionism, calling it "heresy" and a "brain virus". He argues that some American evangelicals prioritize political support for Israel over the well-being of Middle Eastern Christians. He has interviewed prominent figures like Douglas Wilson on the topic of Christian Nationalism, exploring the intersection of faith and American governance. He has used his platform to highlight the plight of Palestinian Christians, which has drawn both support and sharp criticism from various pro-Israel Christian organizations

How Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson Are Using Replacement Theology to Drive Modern Antisemitism
Christian influencers like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson are rallying their followers against Israel — and Jews. And to do so, they’re also weaponizing a centuries-old concept that underlies many strains of Christianity.It’s called supersessionism, and it’s the idea that Jesus’ existence supersedes all commands, laws and beliefs that came before it. Christians often say that Jesus’ death “fulfilled” God’s commandments, meaning that everything God said to Jews in the Hebrew Bible, all of the covenantal promises and laws, are obsolete. These views on Israel, and their theological interpretation, collide with a Christian Zionist movement that deeply supports Israel for its own scriptural reasons, believing that Jews must return to Israel to fulfill a prophecy and herald Jesus’ own return.

Do Evangelicals Still Care to Make a Moral Case for War?
Other evangelicals wielded news of the conflict abroad as a weapon in the culture wars raging at home. Radio host Todd Starnes, doubtless with Tucker Carlson or pro-Palestinian movements on university campuses in mind, used the death of Khamenei to mock “Jew-haters” in the United States. MAGA worship leader Sean Feucht called out the “woke Right and woke Left” who criticized the bombing. Christian Zionist Joel Rosenberg used a clip of former Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris reacting to news of the operation as an occasion to celebrate Trump’s 2024 election victory over her: “Thank God this woman did not win.”

How the Rapture Explains the Rupture Over Israel on the Right
It’s no secret that Israel is losing ground in American public opinion on both the left and the right, even as many American Jews feel newly besieged by rising antisemitism. On much of the left, activists and intellectuals increasingly interpret Israel and Zionism through anti-colonial and anti-racist frameworks, casting the conflict in the moral language of oppressor and oppressed. On the right, a different but equally consequential shift is underway. Influential conservatives like Tucker Carlson have come to view Israel as a drain on American resources, setting up debates with Israel supporters like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee, a Baptist preacher and ambassador to Israel. But the criticisms go beyond the MAGA movement’s “America First” isolationism. The turn on the right isn’t just about geopolitics — it’s about theology. (Politico; 3.8.26)READMORE>>>>>>

That's it, that's the only effect - and they know that. And so they're doing it anyway because killing is the point,” he added.

Increasingly religious, Carlson holds that politics and work should be far in the back seat compared to faith and family, even declaring that “your work actually doesn’t mean very much, in the end.” Having grown up in such an atypical home, he always craved creating a close family and by all accounts has. For such a leading news media figure, it is remarkable that he not only lacks a social media account but does not even own a TV. Being anchored to family and close friends has surely been a godsend to Carlson in light of what Moore paints as the mercilessly intolerant, cut throat world of News, Inc. In fact, within two days of making his first appearance on Carlson’s FOX program, the biographer was fired from his editor-at-large jobs at The Advocate and Out, perhaps America’s top gay publications. How revealing when Carlson points out that he continues to have “one friend who’s a personality at CNN,” yet “I can’t say this person’s name because it’ll wreck this person’s career.”-Dr Douglas Young: PORTRAIT OF A MAJOR MEDIA REBEL: A REVIEW OF TUCKER BY CHADWICK MOORE 9.11.23
October 20, 2023: Providence reported: Tucker Carlson recently claimed that Zelensky has “banned the Christian faith in his country and arrested nuns and priests.” Though purporting to speak on behalf of religious liberty, in reality Carlson is playing fast and loose with the truth and endangering the lives of Ukrainian believers. The Moscow-backed clergy being arrested in Ukraine are not neutral, but actively working for the Kremlin, some contributing directly to the deaths of hundreds of Ukrainian women and children. These arrests are not merely a whim of President Zelensky either: Eighty-five percent of Ukrainians polled favor the government taking action against these representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church who are causing mayhem in Ukraine—66 percent of Ukrainians want the Russian Orthodox Church banned completely in Ukraine.

Dec 12, 2023:
In a post to X (The website formerly known as "Twitter"), Tucker Carlson said "Derek Chauvin is serving 21 years in prison for a crime he didn/t commit. Someone just tried to murder him. If they'd do this to him, they'd do it to you. "If they'd do it them they'd do it to you" As a high profile attention seeker, of course, much of what Carlson says is ridiculous hyperbole. But I want to address this sentence: "If they'd do it them they'd do it to you." It's a variation of Trump's demagoguery: "They are not after me; they are after you." It's kind of a virtue signaling probably derived from the words of Jesus in the Bible who said "Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you."(John 15). People like Trump or Carlson who use those types of phrases generally view themselves as much more important then they really are......and do it to appeal to the masses in the same way autocrats and tyrants do. Personally, I think Carlson says that kind of stuff to manufacture rage and appeal to the lowest intellectual denominator of people who see him as an intellectual giant of some kind. (Something Carlson has never been if you track the number of places that have fired him). |

'Not confident in a woman being President': Trump ally attacks 'anchor baby' Nikki Haley
A Donald Trump ally who has been floated for a position in his potential next administration on Wednesday attacked the ex-president's GOP primary rival Nikki Haley, saying the former Trump admin official is an "anchor baby" who is ineligible to be president. Laura Loomer, who Donald Trump Jr. said might be considered to be his father's interim press secretary, is one of Trump's latest supporters to stick it to Haley. She joins Tucker Carlson and others in shooting down reports that Trump is considering her for Vice President. Loomer argued on Christmas eve that Haley was an "anchor baby who is unqualified to be president." (David McAfee/Raw Story 12/27/23)

Not Even Tucker Carlson’s Fox News Firing Could Save Newsmax
Just a few months ago, Newsmax was riding high. The MAGA network watched its ratings soar after disgruntled Fox News viewers ditched the conservative cable giant after it shockingly fired Tucker Carlson. Exploiting the MAGA rage against Fox over kicking its top right-wing star to the curb, Newsmax leaned even harder into its already over-the-top pro-Trump ethos, bluntly signaling to viewers that this was the channel to turn to for all their conservative comfort content needs. They even went so far as to not-so-subtly suggest that Carlson could potentially join their airwaves.

Tucker Carlson Drops Bizarre Interview With Kevin Spacey Floating 2024 Run and Suggesting Netflix Tried to Kill Him
Tucker Carlson released an interview with Kevin Spacey on Christmas Eve in which the former Hollywood star floated a run for president in 2024, railed against furries in the White House, and suggested Netflix tried to have him killed. The short interview, published on X, was the latest in Spacey’s odd Christmas tradition of reprising the role of Frank Underwood from House of Cards, which he played to much acclaim until he was fired in 2017 over a raft of sexual harassment allegations.

November 30, 2023: Carlson: "I became an active Trump supporter when they raided Mar-a-Lago last summer. That just can't stand. I'm voting for Trump, and if they convict him, I will send him the max donations and I will lead protests. That's how I feel."
December 22, 2023: MediaIte reported: Bill Maher, the political satirist who hosts Real Time with Bill Maher on Max, is trusted more by the American public than several other high-profile names in the media, according to a new poll from WPA Intelligence obtained by Mediaite. According to the survey of 1,000 respondents, which has a margin of error of 3.1%, Maher is trusted by a larger proportion of the country than former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson, podcaster Joe Rogan, and even CNN anchor Jake Tapper.
