Key Figures

President Trump defended Tucker Carlson on November 16, 2025 for hosting white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes in a two-hour podcast interview that aired in late October. Trump said Carlson had "said good things about me over the years" and that "people have to decide" about the interview, without criticizing Fuentes. The interview drew sharp condemnation from Ben Shapiro, former VP Mike Pence, and other conservatives.

Senator Ted Cruz and media commentator Tucker Carlson engaged in a public dispute over the Trump administration's Iran bombing campaign, with Carlson arguing the strikes served Israeli rather than American interests and Cruz defending the action as protecting US national security. The exchange exposed a growing rift between MAGA foreign policy non-interventionists and establishment Republican hawks that had been papered over during the first term.

On October 31, 2024 — five days before the presidential election — former President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign event in Glendale, Arizona moderated by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Targeting former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) — who had been a member of the January 6 Committee and endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris — Trump says: "She's a radical war hawk — let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let's see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face." Cheney responds: "Donald Trump continues to display the unstable and dangerous temperament that makes him unfit to be president." She adds that Trump is "a tyrant." Trump's campaign defends the remarks, arguing he was discussing combat conditions. Multiple Republican officials decline to condemn the statement. The remarks are made in the final week of the 2024 presidential campaign as Trump is polling within the margin in multiple battleground states. They follow Trump's October 26 "enemies from within" comments and are part of a sustained closing-stretch escalation of threatening rhetoric against named political opponents.

Tucker Carlson, host of Fox News's highest-rated prime-time program, explicitly endorses on September 22, 2021 the core claim of the "Great Replacement" theory — a white nationalist conspiracy that holds that Democratic politicians are deliberately replacing white American voters with nonwhite immigrants to gain electoral power. Carlson states: "I know that the left and all the gatekeepers on Twitter become literally hysterical if you use the term 'replacement,' if you suggest that the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate... But they become hysterical because it's true." The "Great Replacement" theory was cited as motivation by the El Paso gunman (2019), the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue shooter (2018), and the Buffalo supermarket shooter (2022). A New York Times analysis of 950 episodes of Tucker Carlson Tonight finds that the show referenced the replacement theory more than 400 times in approximately four years. Carlson is fired by Fox News in April 2023. ADL calls Carlson's repeated advocacy "nothing less than an endorsement of white supremacist ideology."
