In a recent podcast, Tucker Carlson spoke with comedian and commentator Dave Smith about the Israel-Hamas war and the reactions of various media figures. They discussed comments made by Mark Levin regarding Steve Witkoff, Trump's envoy for Middle East affairs. Carlson defended Witkoff, praising his efforts to bring peace and save hostages during a ceasefire. The conversation highlighted the troubling trend of labeling individuals as anti-Semitic in political discussions, emphasizing that context often gets lost in the media narratives surrounding such terms.
Carlson remarked, 'Mark Levin accused the Trump administration of anti-Semitism for calling someone a neocon. Itâs important to clarify that neocon is often used as a pejorative.'
Carlson defended Steve Witkoff passionately, stating, 'Witkoff is a thoroughly decent man, running around the world trying to bring peace. He saved 20 Jewish hostages during the ceasefire.'
Smith reflected on Carlson's experiences, saying, 'Itâs shocking how quickly media figures like Levin will label anyone as anti-Semitic to serve their agendas, often without proper context.'
Carlson emphasized the broader implications, stating, 'Levin's comments reflect a troubling trend in media where terms are weaponized against individuals who criticize certain political perspectives.'
