Ted Cruz to Jewish Republicans: Antisemitism is 'an existential crisis in our party'

Senator Ted Cruz condemned rising antisemitic conspiracy theories in the GOP and criticized Heritage Foundation's defense of Tucker Carlson hosting a white nationalist.

  • On October 31, 2025, Sen. Ted Cruz warned of rising right‑wing antisemitism while opening the Republican Jewish Coalition's 40th‑anniversary summit at the Venetian Resort, Las Vegas.
  • Following Carlson's interview with Fuentes, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts defended Carlson despite criticism, while Fuentes's audience grew to around 500,000, reducing stigma around featuring him.
  • In a 25‑minute speech, Cruz noted Israel's pager operation and Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023 attack, saying young Christians and evangelicals are turning against Israel while addressing about 100 Jewish Republican donors.
  • Cruz's remarks prompted calls for Republican voices to act, saying RJC CEO Matt Brooks will `reassess` ties with Heritage Foundation amid Kevin Roberts' defense of Carlson, while Cruz praised President Donald Trump as `the most pro‑Israel president in the history of the United States`.
  • Looking to the party's future, Sen. Ted Cruz warned the post‑Trump future is a `fork in the road` and urged conservatives to engage in college campuses to counter antisemitic conspiracy theories.
