Antisemitism is rising on the American right, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) warned on Tuesday, expressing concern that efforts to combat it are not doing so quickly or effectively enough.
“I want us to be winning, but I’m not sure it is accurate as a descriptive manner that we are winning right now,” Cruz said at an antisemitism symposium in Washington organized by the Republican Jewish Coalition and the National Review.
In his remarks, Cruz called far-right commentator Tucker Carlson “the single most dangerous demagogue in this country.”
But he said that not enough of his colleagues and allies on the right are aware of the extent of the problem.
“I don’t want to wake up in five years and find myself in a country where both major political parties are unambiguously anti-Israel and unapologetically antisemitic, and I think that is a real possibility. If Tucker and his minions prevail, that will happen,” Cruz argued.
The efforts to push Carlson to the status of a distant solar system are in full swing. The website that calls itself The Conservative Treehouse and MAGA (actually MIGA) has a daily Open Thread and a Presidential Thread. People have been stating how Carlson is mentally ill, morally sick, gone off the deep end, and many more statements. If anyone attempts to point out that the claims made about Carlson are inaccurate and the quotes are attributed to him are not what he actually said or wrote, then there is a veiled if not open accusation of “Jew hatred” on the part of the person trying to be objective. Then there is the poster (most likely a team of people) named David with routine news from Israel since conveniently September 2023. The owner of the website called for napalm to be dropped on Gaza on October 8, 2023. The exact words of Sundance, the website owner, were “My solution, napalm Gaza.”
How much did Teddy get from AIPAC?
