Ben Shapiro Criticizes Tucker Carlson for Hosting Nick Fuentes
Ben Shapiro strongly condemned Tucker Carlson, accusing the former Fox News host of "normalizing Nazism" by giving a platform to white nationalist Nick Fuentes.
Shapiro’s Accusations Against Carlson
Shapiro argued that this issue goes beyond free speech. In his detailed monologue titled "Tucker Carlson Sabotages America," he called Carlson:
- “an intellectual coward”
- “a dishonest interlocutor”
- “a terrible friend”
According to Shapiro, Carlson has become:
“the most virulent super-spreader of vile ideas in America.”
He also claimed Carlson acts as:
“an ideological launderer,”
who softens hateful rhetoric from figures like Fuentes and helps make their views more acceptable within the GOP.
The Heritage Foundation’s Response
Shapiro pointed out that the Heritage Foundation defended Carlson’s interview with Fuentes. Its president, Kevin Roberts, called Carlson a:
“close ally”
to the conservative organization. Roberts criticized those attempting to "cancel" Carlson, describing them as a:
“venomous coalition” out to sow division.
Shapiro expressed outrage over Roberts’ position:
“Kevin said openly that Tucker Carlson can do nothing ever that will sever his relationship with the conservative movement.”
