Political commentator Michael Savage accused former conservative figure Tucker Carlson of associating with Nick Fuentes, a far-right agitator, during an interview on “Carl Higbie FRONTLINE.” Savage criticized the move as promoting white supremacy and antisemitism, stating, “This is not MAGA. It’s a toxic movement with no place in the Republican Party.” He alleged that Fuentes, described as a KKK affiliate, disguises extremism under Christian rhetoric while spreading hatred.
Savage revealed he confronted Carlson via text, questioning the decision to feature Fuentes. He quoted Carlson’s response: “Blood guilt is not a Christian concept,” which Savage dismissed as dismissive of historical injustices. The exchange escalated, with Savage warning that the right wing now faces a “new Reich.”
Senator Ted Cruz echoed concerns about antisemitism within conservative circles during a Republican Jewish Coalition conference. He condemned the rise of online extremism and foreign propaganda, calling it a “poison” infiltrating the political right. Cruz emphasized the need for Republicans to take moral stands, stating, “Those who hate Jews hate Christians,” and expressed alarm over unprecedented levels of anti-Jewish rhetoric.
