Meeting with Trump
Trump Hosts Tucker Carlson in the Oval Office
For the second time in less than two weeks, President Donald Trump hosted one of the most influential antisemitic figures in the United States at the White House, raising concerns among many about the administration's apparent indifference to right-wing antisemitism.

The White House continues to generate controversies, and this time it appears even President Trump has crossed a line for many Jews and conservatives. Over the weekend, right-wing antisemitic broadcaster Tucker Carlson visited the White House for an official meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office. Carlson, formerly a conservative broadcaster on Fox News and considered a mainstream figure on the right, has become an online personality after being fired in disgrace from television networks. In recent years, he has emerged as one of the leading forces radicalizing the American right toward antisemitism and isolationism.
He has not only become one of the harshest critics of Israel but also a spreader of extreme conspiracies, often centering on poisonous accusations against Jews. According to Carlson, Israel or Jews are responsible for most of the national disasters in the United States and the world.
Over the past months, Carlson has accused Israel of the Twin Towers attacks, dragging the United States into the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the assassination of President Kennedy, and a series of other severe and extreme allegations.
He has accused Jews themselves of replacing "white Americans" with immigrants, being "those who killed Jesus," leading to World War I and II, and numerous other bizarre notions. Carlson has hosted avowed neo-Nazis on his broadcasts, self-proclaimed "historians" who blamed Churchill for exacerbating World War II due to "Zionist aspirations," and conducted fawning interviews with Iran's president and Qatar's ruler.
Carlson is considered close to the isolationist and extreme faction developing recently within the Republican movement, with many pointing an accusing finger at Vice President J.D. Vance, whom Carlson pushed for selection as vice president during the 2024 presidential elections. Vance even employs Carlson's son on his White House team.
