The Texas senator called Tucker Carlson ‘the single most dangerous demagogue in this country’

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.”

      It’s good to know what Sundance is up to.

      So it sounds like CTH is putting out the same propaganda smears that I see everywhere.

      I figured out what Sundance is about in 2017, when he said Rosenstein and Sessions were “white hats” that will get the bad guys. He also made the ridiculous claim that the Trump campaign was not spied on, a year after that spying was exposed.

      Sundance is a skilled propagandist that is able to get readers adoring him, so he can betray them at key moments. His statements over the years have inconsistencies and holes miles wide.

    Cruz is one of those zio-Christian extremists, clearly adores and is controlled by Israel.

    He recently claimed I will not go to heaven unless I recognize Jews as chosen by God, and other nonsense.

      A prime example of pure evil, the worst of the worst.
      No wonder, America (and the world) hates its “politi-
      cians.” Shall go back to Cuba, or even better: to hell.

    This is a concise statement.

    “Christian Zionists and Evangelicals who believe in a reintroduction of Temple worship cannot be called Christians because they deny the redeeming sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. We are Christians because we have been redeemed by the ‘precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect’ (1. Pet 1:19). If we reject this sacrifice and yearn after the sacrifices of the Old Testament we are not Christians.

    Christ is our Passover Lamb who was sacrificed for ‘our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world’ (1 John 2:2). Christ, by offering Himself as a sacrifice, redeemed us from the curse of the law so that the blessing of Abraham might come upon us and that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith (cf. Gal. 3:13-14). Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross abolished the sacrifices of the Law as St. Paul makes clear.”
