Tucker Carlson's Brother Suggests Jewish Pro-Israel Commentators Should Register as Foreign Agents
In an antisemitic tirade posted on X, Buckley Carlson suggested that Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Dave Rubin, and Laura Loomer receive Israeli funding and should register as foreign agents.
Buckley Carlson, brother of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, has ignited controversy after posting a series of statements on X that critics are calling deeply antisemitic.
On November 15, 2025, Buckley Carlson publicly endorsed a clip of Nick Fuentes, a Holocaust denier who has declared himself on “team Hitler” and called for a “holy war” against Jews. Carlson quote-tweeted a Fuentes fan account that accused President Trump of betraying his base, in part due to his pro-Israel policies, asking “Where within this clip is he wrong?”
But Carlson’s most inflammatory statements targeted prominent Jewish political commentators. He reshared a meme mocking Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Laura Loomer, and Dave Rubin, asking why they shouldn’t be “compelled, like AIPAC, to register as foreign lobbyists.”
When challenged on these accusations, Carlson doubled down emphatically: “Clearly, all four of them get funding from Israel. And, clearly, all four of them put Israel’s priorities over America’s.”
He defended his position by claiming he was merely discussing “a foreign lobby” and insisted he never said “jews” — despite the fact that all four individuals he singled out are Jewish.
This controversy comes as Tucker Carlson himself has faced intense backlash for platforming Nick Fuentes in a lengthy October 2025 interview. During that two-hour conversation, Fuentes identified “these Zionist Jews” as enemies of conservatism and argued that Jewish Americans inherently prioritize Israel over the United States. Tucker largely agreed with Fuentes on Israel and attacked Christian Zionists, including U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, saying they’ve been “seized by this brain virus.”
