Ben Shapiro blasts Tucker Carlson over Nick Fuentes interview

  • Last week, Ben Shapiro, a prominent conservative podcaster, publicly condemned Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host, after his interview with Nick Fuentes aired, saying it deepened GOP divisions.
  • On the podcast, Nick Fuentes praised Joseph Stalin and blamed `organized Jewry` for divisions, while Tucker Carlson said Republican Israel supporters suffer from a `brain virus`, fueling backlash.
  • Amid mixed conservative responses, The Wall Street Journal editorial board condemned the episode while Kevin Roberts, Heritage Foundation President, first defended Carlson but later condemned antisemitism, prompting Ben Shapiro's pushback on moral boundaries.
  • At the Republican Jewish Coalition annual leadership summit last weekend, top GOP Jewish leaders sought to distance Carlson, while CEO Matt Brooks called antisemitism `a very small, limited problem in our party` and attendees waved `TUCKER IS NOT MAGA` placards; Carlson declined to comment Monday.
  • Last month, incidents included a nominee bragging of a `Nazi streak` and a leaked Young Republicans chat praising Hitler, while a Nazi symbol was found in a GOP congressional office, prompting conservative critics including Ben Shapiro to warn the party risks being `eaten by its radicals.
