Tucker Carlson’s Dark Turn

It’s perfectly valid to question America’s relationship with Israel . . . but I don’t think that’s the reason [Pat] Buchanan is being labeled an antisemite. It’s this kind of . . . relentless bringing up topics related to Judaism. . . . Here’s a guy who has . . . constantly attacked Israel, who’s attacked American Jews for supporting Israel unduly, who’s implied that American Jews push America into wars in which non-Jews die. . . . I do believe that there is a pattern with Pat Buchanan of needling the Jews. Is that antisemitic? Yeah.
