Tucker Carlson Rips Fox News Viewers, Agrees with El-Sayed’s 9/11 Comments Blaming America
So, for those of you who still think Tucker Carlson is in the conservative fold, what do you think about the fact that the former Fox News host and current professional Israel-baiter used the 25th anniversary of 9/11 to effectively endorse Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan?
Oh, sure, he didn’t officially come out and say you should vote for El-Sayed. But, when you consider the fact that this is a man who centers virtually every issue around how it relates to Israel and the Muslim world, and you have El-Sayed effectively saying the real victims of 9/11 were the people of the Middle East, and his opponent says that should be disqualifying, and Carlson uses the anniversary of 9/11 to agree with El-Sayed explicitly and to denounce his opponent, you can guess where his sympathies lie.
“El-Sayed did not celebrate airplane hijackings or cheerlead Al-Qaeda; he simply said that the U.S. conducting terrorism of its own in response to 9/11 was not exactly an appropriate reaction. He is obviously right,” Carlson said in his Friday members-only newsletter, Mediaite reported.
Carlson was referring to resurfaced remarks from a 2021 podcast in which El-Sayed said the real tragedy was that we weren’t properly putting the people of the Middle East first and foremost when we think about Islamist terror attacks carried out against the West that killed nearly 3,000 innocent people.
According to the New York Post, El-Sayed told the “America Dissected” podcast on Sept. 7, 2021, that “9/11 scarred our country in profound ways, but what we did after 9/11 scarred millions of other people.”
“When we talk about 9/11, we often fail to center them,” he added.
His opponent, U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, responded that “it is disqualifying for a US Senate Candidate to believe that Americans should ‘center’ their grief from 9/11.”
