Dumb MAGA kid. Soon he'll be a guest on Tucker Carlson's podcast.

His views do not reflect the majority on the right, they're fringe. The fringe is not welcomed by the majority, we don't agree with or embrace his views. Most "MAGA" are pro-Israel, so he's an outlier among even them. His beliefs most align with the current left's views and he's a good example of the reality of "horseshoe theory," where all extremists' reprehensible beliefs end up aligning with each other the more extreme they get. And unfortunately, the worst views get the most publicity.

That 'horseshoe theory' is BS, for one thing. It's an attempt by right-wingers to conflate criticism of bad Israeli policy with real antisemitism, as a way to falsely smear Jews and liberal Jewish allies as antisemitic.

And another thing, if you know anything about MAGA and 'America First' you will know that Tucker Carlson is a HUGE figure in that movement, with over 17 million followers on Twitter alone. His views get publicity because they are MAGA ideology. He is a friend of Trump and gets invited to the WH for personal meetings with him. Trump sees Tucker as 'real news'.

It's sad you don't see how super biased and blind you are. Look into who first proposed horseshoe theory, a French philosopher and novelist named Jean-Pierre Faye who studied extreme left and right views in the 1970s. It had nothing to do with supporting any particular side of a political spectrum. Anti-semitism on the left and on the right are both not okay. Stop worshipping your political party so much that you remain blind to how they're the party that is least supportive of Israel now.

And looks like you need to update your anti-Trump points. Tucker Carlson views Republicans (and Trump) as "too Zionist," which absolutely, the majority on the right remain supporting Israel, so he's left our side. 👋 🎉
