FACT: Dahiyeh, southern Beirut is Hezbollah’s main urban stronghold and political center.

Tucker Carlson: “I don’t understand why Israel wants to destroy Lebanon for reasons that are not clear at all, or murder Christians wholesale. Why are they bombing Beirut? It’s not a traditional Hezbollah stronghold.”

Also, he’s simply engaging in blood libel by claiming Israel is attacking Christians “wholesale” in Lebanon.

Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon recalled a phone call from Tucker Carlson:

“Ambassador, can you take me off the list?”

“I said to him, ‘What are you talking about?’”

“And he said to me, ‘I, I am being attacked by the Jews. So maybe you have a list. Can you take me off the list?’”

Danon says he replied:

“Mr. Carlson, we don't have a list. You are being attacked because you are spreading lies and conspiracies against our soldiers.”

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Let’s start off with Tucker Carlson, who has been an absolute freefall with Republicans. I mean, just take a look at this. Look at this trend line, Tucker Carlson’s net favorable. Back in March of 2024, when he and Donald Trump were very close friends, look at that, he was at plus 54 points. Look at where he is today at only plus seven points among Republicans, and that includes GOP-leaning independents.

I mean that is a drop of what, 47 percentage points. My goodness gracious. When you go up against Donald Trump and you want to appeal to the Republican base, to quote the movie Good Burger, you go in the grinder. And that is exactly what has happened to Tucker Carlson, who has absolutely collapsed among Republicans.”

Trump: “Tucker is a Low IQ person - Always easy to beat, and highly overrated! ! ! So are Megyn Kelly, “Candace”(Really Dumb and mentally ill! ), and Bankrupt Alex Jones, who is completely “fried. ” There are others, also! Then we have some that are VERY GOOD, true MAGA all the way, and smart. I should do a list of good, bad, and somewhere in the middle. Wouldn’t that be fascinating? ? ? President DJT”

President Trump: “Who's dumber, Tucker Carlson or Joe Kent? It's very interesting! ! met Joe Kent at Dover Air Force Base, along with numerous others who had lost their loved ones in War. I said hello to all of the families. Kent, horribly, lost his wife. Her casket was being brought to Dover, along with the rest, although he married again, quite quickly, in my opinion. In any event, a number of years later, I noticed the same person was running for Congress in Washington State, and lost. I then noticed a couple of years later, he was running again, and lost. While I didn't know him other than our brief Dover encounter, but feeling sorry for him after the two Election losses, I told my people, "Hire him for the White House.
Give him a job, make him feel good, he lost his wife and two Elections." They did so and, while I rarely saw him, I certainly didn't expect disloyalty, but that's what I got. He was really a SLEAZEBAG, and some would say, on top of it all, A LEAKER!! don't know whether or not that was true, but next time, NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! Kent is a LOSER, just like Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and the rest of them are LOSERS — You're born that way, LOW IQ, and there's not a damn thing they're going to be able to do about it! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

TRUMP:

"Paul Dans has just dropped out of the South Carolina Senatorial Race against the Great Lindsey Graham. It all started to fall apart for Paul when a very Low IQ individual named Tucker Carlson ENDORSED him — THE KISS OF DEATH! Lindsey has a BIG lead, and is on his way to a spectacular VICTORY because he just, GETS THINGS DONE!"
