Tucker Carlson Worries About ‘Spain’s Descent Into Tyranny’ Days After Criticizing Those Upset By ‘Foreign Tragedy’ in Israel

Fired Fox News personality Tucker Carlson dropped an episode of his social media show about “Spain’s descent into tyranny” on Friday, just two days after he expressed confusion over the “emotion” shown by “some commentators” over Hamas’ attack on Israel last month.

“I was horrified by what happened on October 7,” insisted Carlson during a Wednesday interview with Candace Owens focused on the Daily Wire personality’s feud with Ben Shapiro. “It was pretty strange, I don’t really understand how it happened, but innocents died and that’s awful. And I hated watching that. I feel so sorry for the Israelis who were killed.”

“However,” he continued, “There’s an emotional response that is disproportionate, I think, on the part of some commentators. I mean, our country is being invaded right now by millions of young men whose identities we don’t know, who probably don’t even like America, and they’re now living here. Over 100,000 Americans die every year of fentanyl. I’ve known a couple. Those are real tragedies. I’ve never seen anything like the emotion from any commentator around those tragedies as I’m watching about a foreign tragedy. I think that’s odd.”

Owens has falsely claimed that Israel forces Muslims in Jerusalem to live in a ghetto and implied that the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza.

Carlson’s new episode on Spain, meanwhile, betrayed quite a bit of concern about foreign events. Timestamped subheadings used by Carlson included “The end of democracy in Spain,” “George Soros,” “Low Spanish birthrate,” and “Censorship in Spain.”

Carlson has been accused by Shapiro and other pro-Israel commentators of deliberately downplaying the October 7 attack and promoting anti-Israel and even anti-Semitic voices in its wake.

In addition to Owens, GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy joined Carlson’s show just days after the attack  to call the “shameful” focus on it the consequence of “financial and corrupting interests.”

A little less than two weeks later, Carlson hosted retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor — who has previously accused the “Israeli lobby” of making U.S. officials rich  — to claim that Israel was committing “war crimes” in Gaza.
