'Just dishonest': MAGA influencer shreds Tucker Carlson's 'dangerous' take
A MAGA influencer had some harsh words for Tucker Carlson following his latest podcast episode.
Brandon Tatum, a MAGA political commentator known as "Officer Tatum," wrote in a recent Substack article that Carlson's latest episode distorted the truth about living conditions for Christians in Israel. Carlson painted Israel as a country that is hostile to Christians, using the testimony of an American-born nun who lives in Jerusalem to prove his point.
Tatum argued that Carlson was being "dishonest."
"Tucker’s guest told a one-sided story that made Israel look like the villain and the Palestinian Authority and Hamas-controlled Gaza look like the good guys," Tatum wrote.
"The truth is the opposite: Israel is the safest, freest, and most prosperous place for Christians in the Middle East, and pretending otherwise isn’t just dishonest — it’s dangerous," he continued.
Tatum added that Carlson may have had ulterior motives with the interview.
"It feels like he’s on a quest to interview anyone who will reinforce his confirmation bias, no matter how one-sided or misleading their claims are," Tatum added. "I’ve seen this before — high-profile figures leaving corporate media and reinventing themselves by taking contrarian positions. For some, going anti-Trump or anti-Israel becomes their new brand. Unfortunately, this seems to be working for Tucker in certain circles, but it’s at the expense of the truth."
