“The Single Most Dangerous Demagogue in The Country… I’m Going to Take Him on Directly!” – Ted Cruz Reignites Feud with Tucker Carlson in Fiery Speech (VIDEO)

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) reignited his feud with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in a blistering speech on Tuesday.

As TGP readers know, Cruz and Carlson have been embroiled in a months-long feud, which was exacerbated when Cruz appeared on Carlson’s podcast last June. The topic centered around what actions, if any, the U.S. should take to topple the Iranian regime as it battles Israel.

At one point in the interview, Carlson decided to test Cruz’s knowledge of Iran with a pointed yet seemingly important question: how many people live in the country?

This set off a nasty argument with Cruz exploding all over Carlson.

Since that time, Carlson has continued to slam Trump’s foreign policy decisions, including Operation Epic Fury, which Cruz has been a stalwart defender of. Carlson has also invited harsh criticism from Cruz and others for palling around with antisemites.

While speaking at an antisemitism symposium hosted by The National Review and the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), Cruz made clear that he largely blames Carlson for the perceived antisemitism problem within the Republican party.

He cited Carlson inviting so-called historians who have engaged in revisionist history about World War II, such as absolving Nazi Germany of blame and calling Winston Churchill the real villain.

He next went after Carlson for interviewing arguably the nation’s most influential neo-Naz, Nick Fuentes, and giving him a complete pass. In addition, Cruz ripped GOP politicians for condemning Fuentes while ignoring Carlson.

CRUZ: I believe Tucker Carlson is the single most dangerous demagogue in the country. (applause)

I’ll tell ya, I’ve made the decision I am going to take him on head…directly.

If you look at the descent of Tucker Carlson…It started about a year and a half ago with platforming crackpot professors seeking to rewrite history about World War II.

So he has one idiot who he describes as the most popular historian in the country, who learns forward and intones that Winston Churchill was the villain of World War II.

(He) Carlson then finds another crackpot professor who says there is a good argument that America should have sided with the Nazis in Germany during World War II. And for all of this, Tucker gazes adoringly.

But it’s not just there; it then descends… Look at Nick Fuentes.

When you look at Republican politicians, Nick Fuentes is easy to denounce. I think it’s a tell among Republican politicians that they will denounce Fuentes but are scared to say Tucker’s name.
