Ted Cruz just called out Tucker Carlson and his cronies for lying about Charlie Kirk and his feelings about the state of Israel.
Cruz retweeted a video of Tucker saying, among other things, that Kirk didn’t like Netanyahu and felt like he was a ‘destructive force’, didn’t like what Israel was doing in Gaza and was resentful that Netanyahu was using the US to prosecute his war.
But Cruz responded to Tucker, saying:
I’m getting really tired of Tucker & his cronies falsely claiming “Charlie agreed with me that Israel is terrible & the problem in America is all the damn Jews….”
I knew Charlie well & indeed the very last conversation we had was how deeply concerned he was about the rising, toxic wave of antisemitism on the right.

Here’s a few other responses to Tucker’s video from X users:
BREAKING: Tucker Carlson has just joined the “Israel killed Charlie Kirk” club.
“He did not like Bibi Netanyahu…He was appalled by what was happening in Gaza”.
They dont stop lying on his name after death.
Disgusting people.— Jeremy Kamali (@JeremyKamali) September 17, 2025
How is it that only Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens were aware of some supposed covert Israel propaganda pressure campaign on Charlie Kirk?
These folks have got to show their work if they want us to believe this stuff.

Tucker Carlson is a piece of shit & will always be a piece of shit.
Charlie was just assassinated last week, & tucker is using his death to push his agenda. There is no bottom for tucker. He’ll go as low as possible. https://t.co/OYHeAsmrvp
