The Mask Has Slipped—Tucker Carlson’s Antisemitism is Now Fully Out in the Open
He’s not just flirting with antisemitism anymore—he’s broadcasting it loud and clear, alongside a man who called for bombing Tel Aviv.
Tucker Carlson has finally said the quiet part out loud. For years, critics warned that his rhetoric flirted with antisemitic tropes—dog-whistling to fringe extremists while maintaining plausible deniability. But now, the mask is off.
On June 13, Carlson posted a tweet accusing several high-profile Jewish Americans—Miriam Adelson, Ike Perlmutter, and others—of being “warmongers” pressuring Donald Trump to launch airstrikes on Iran. He contrasted these “warmongers” with supposed “peacemakers,” casting himself in the latter camp. But let’s be clear: this wasn’t policy criticism. This was a classic antisemitic smear. He specifically targeted Jewish individuals and accused them of orchestrating war for their own interests—a blood libel repackaged for the digital age.
This language is not new. It echoes the ugliest chapters of history, when Jews were scapegoated as manipulative elites dragging nations into conflict. Carlson isn’t engaging in foreign policy analysis. He’s trafficking in conspiracy theory—painting pro-Israel Jews as enemies within.
But this isn’t just about one tweet. It’s part of a pattern. Carlson has long platformed and praised Darryl Cooper, the voice behind the “Martyr Made” account. Carlson has openly credited Cooper as a deep thinker and guiding light behind his own worldview. He’s given him airtime, legitimacy, and a megaphone.
And what does Cooper do with that megaphone? He calls for airstrikes on Tel Aviv. Publicly. In June 2025, Cooper tweeted, “Yes, we should commence airstrikes on Tel Aviv immediately.” This isn’t sarcasm or provocation—it’s a direct call for mass violence against Jewish civilians. When challenged, Cooper followed up with crude, misogynistic taunts. This is who Carlson has elevated as a serious intellectual.
Carlson can’t have it both ways. He doesn’t get to posture as a “peacemaker” while promoting voices that advocate bombing America’s closest ally. He doesn’t get to denounce “warmongers” while aligning himself with those who cheerlead war against Israel.
Tucker Carlson is not merely “controversial.” He has crossed a moral red line. He is using his platform—once considered mainstream—to amplify antisemitic figures, smear Jewish Americans, and subtly endorse violence against the Jewish state.
This is not a policy dispute. It is not “anti-Zionism.” It is antisemitism, plain and simple. The world should take him at his word—and at the words of those he promotes. Because now, the mask is off, and we see exactly what lies beneath
