GOP Congressman Labels Tucker Carlson as America’s Most Dangerous Antisemite

Florida GOP Representative Randy Fine has recently labeled Tucker Carlson as “the most dangerous antisemite in America.” This declaration occurred during the Republican Jewish Coalition conference held in Las Vegas on November 1, 2025. Fine’s remarks were triggered by Carlson’s decision to host white supremacist Nick Fuentes on his show.

Fine’s Impassioned Address

During his address, Fine, known for his nickname “the Hebrew Hammer,” expressed concern about the rising antisemitism within conservative circles. He remarked, “It’s easy to talk about antisemitism on the left. We must call evil by its name.” Fine emphasized the need to confront antisemitism accurately without generalizations.

Charges Against Tucker Carlson

Fine condemned Carlson, accusing him of embracing views that celebrate Nazism and undermine U.S. support for Israel. He specifically criticized Carlson for:

• Featuring guests who praise Nazis.
• Defending Hamas.
• Criticizing former President Donald Trump for his stance on Iran.

In front of a supportive audience, Fine displayed campaign-style signs stating, “Tucker is not MAGA,” reinforcing his message.

Backlash Following Carlson’s Interview

Carlson’s interview with Fuentes has garnered significant backlash. Their conversation included Fuentes expressing admiration for historical figures like Joseph Stalin and promoting white supremacy. Carlson also faced criticism for his disparaging remarks about “Christian Zionists” in the American right.

Heritage Foundation’s Response

After the fallout, the Heritage Foundation faced scrutiny for reportedly attempting to distance itself from Carlson. Its president, Kevin Roberts, defended Carlson, asserting that conservatives could critique the Israeli government without being labeled antisemitic. He called for a rejection of “cancel culture,” positioning Carlson as a close ally.

Fine’s Reaction to GOP Peers

Fine’s remarks also included criticism of fellow Republicans such as Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene. He voiced his disapproval for their questioning of U.S. support for Israel, characterizing their statements as either “stupid” or “evil.”

In addition to attacking Republicans, Fine denounced progressive Democrats, including Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, while also targeting New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. He called for Mamdani’s deportation, despite the candidate being a U.S. citizen.

Comments on Vice President JD Vance

Fine exhibited a more measured stance towards Vice President JD Vance, who downplayed a scandal involving antisemitic remarks within a Young Republicans group. Fine chose not to comment extensively on Vance’s remarks, indicating that he had not observed the incident closely.

These developments highlight an ongoing conversation within the Republican Party regarding antisemitism, as Fine continues to advocate for a clear stance against it while navigating tensions within his party.
