TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): So a year ago, no Republican would ever get up on TV and say, you know, the thing about Catholics is they're kind of Nazis, but there's Lindsey Graham doing it right there. This is a profound break, and it's a, it's a very clear window into what the actual faith is.

Anyone who doesn't support the military aims of the modern Israeli government cannot be part of the MAGA coalition, and Lindsey Graham has just told us, can't be a Christian. It's amazing.

It's slander. It's an attack on the world's largest and oldest Christian denomination, and it's taking place openly. And it's all coming from the same source, which is Israel. The issue is Israel. Anyone who supports the Netanyahu government, not Israel as a concept, not all Jews.
No. The Netanyahu government, anyone who ratifies every decision, no matter how violent or grotesque or genocidal of the Netanyahu government, those are the good people, and anyone who doesn't is a Nazi.
