Tucker Carlson's Dark Turn
He can't stop talking about the Jews
Dear Friends,
In 2022, I noticed a disturbing pattern in the national political conversation. Tucker Carlson, with whom I had been friendly for 15 years, was making creepy comments about Jews. After Carlson was fired from Fox News the following year, he started a podcast, where he has had free rein to indulge his increasingly conspiratorial obsessions, chief among them the allegedly malign influence of Israel and its supporters on the American body politic. I started listening closely, and the fruit of my labors can be found in the August issue of National Review in the form of an essay entitled Tucker Carlson’s Dark Turn. Please give it a read, and if you feel so inclined, share it with your friends and on social media.
Best,
Jamie
Mr. Kirchick, I was a early 20-something Ron Paul Revolutionary in 2007 and was so annoyed at you for surfacing the story about his newsletters. In retrospect I am so grateful - thank you for taking a hard look at things that can be easy to gloss over or ignore when you're overly ideologically committed to a person or project. This piece will really help me describe the ways that Tucker has gone into wicked territory to people that don't want to see it. Thank you!
You should try to go on Tucker’s podcast and call him out to his face.
