Tucker Carlson Attacks Editors Writer Wurmser

Lumps him with Bari Weiss, Jewish Insider, Fox News’s Griffin: “No more repulsive group in American life”

David Wurmser, awarded the Defense Meritorious Service Medal for what a citation described as “exemplary professionalism and dedication to duty, coupled with his extraordinary ability to analyze and present intelligence information and products.” Tucker Carlson described him as “someone who has no interest in the United States.”

Online video personality and former Fox News star Tucker Carlson, who spoke on the fourth night of the Republican National Convention and at Trump’s pre-election Madison Square Garden rally, is out with a new video attacking some writers for, he says, “pushing endless war.”

Last month, Carlson posted an interview with a Columbia professor, Jeff Sachs, who claimed “Netanyahu wars” have resulted in “a million or so deaths” and cost America $7 trillion. Israel’s cabinet minister for diaspora affairs and combating antisemitism, Amichai Chikli, replied by saying, “Congratulations to Tucker Carlson for becoming the leading platform for fringe Holocaust deniers, conspiracy theorists, and blood libel enthusiasts who oppose the State of Israel.”

In a new video posted on January 25, Carlson interviews the executive director of the American Conservative magazine, Curt Mills. “Interviews” may be the wrong word to describe the encounter, because Carlson dominates the conversation. Carlson frames the episode as being about, “The below-the-radar war between permanent Washington’s national security establishment, the neocons, and the incoming Trump administration.”

“What are the publications, who are the people involved in this campaign of lies?” Carlson asks. “There’s no more repulsive group in American life than the people who continue to push death and bankruptcy on the United States,” he says, calling them “disgusting.”

“Now, instead of telling us that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction or that Osama Bin Laden attacked us for our freedoms, or whatever the lie of the day was, the new idea is that Iran is quote the head of the snake,” Carlson says.
