Former conservative turned Democrat butt-kisser and Israel-hater Tucker Carlson is now going to bat for veritable left-wing Nazi Graham Platner.
Appearing on the “Can’t Be Censored” podcast on Thursday, Carlson defended Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s infamous Nazi tattoo that Democrats have jumped through hoops to try to excuse.
“Look at Graham Platner, this guy who’s running in the state of Maine where I live,” he said. “He’s a Democrat, he’s liberal. I don’t have strong feelings about it. But rather than respond to what the guy’s positions are, they’ve just called him a Nazi for the last month because he had a tattoo that was not a swastika, but apparently was connected to the German military at some point.”
“It’s not even clear he knew that. But they’ve attacked the guy in his personal life. It’s like they don’t like him because he’s not sufficiently supportive of Israel,” he added.
And there it was …

As expected, Tucker Carlson has rushed to Graham Platner’s defense.

FYI, CNN has already debunked the claim that Platner didn’t realize his tattoo was a Nazi tattoo when he got it years ago.
“[A] woman who spoke to CNN anonymously last year is now going public to the New York Times and CNN, and directly challenging Graham Platner’s explanation about the tattoo,” CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski reported earlier this month.
“She says Platner referred to the image as ‘My Totenkopf’ — that’s a reference to the skull and crossbones emblem used by Nazi SS units — years before the controversy became public,” he added.

Carlson’s defense of Platner was no surprise, given his recent diatribes about Israel. Whereas he used to be a reliable voice for conservatism, many have noticed that he’s become as obsessed with Israel as notorious antisemites like Nick Fuentes and rapper Kanye West.
Indeed, earlier in Friday’s “Can’t Be Censored” episode, Carlson blamed Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s death on his views on Israel. Never mind all the copious evidence that points to Kirk being killed by a gay furry who resented his views on homosexuals and transgender people.
“Charlie Kirk was murdered, and he was not murdered for his opinions on transgenderism, obviously,” Carlson alleged. “He was, I believe — and most people who knew him well as I did and was friends with him as I was — believe he was most likely murdered for his evolving views on Israel.”
Carlson then defended his perspective by lamenting how, at least, he was being sincere and honest with his diabolical views.
“From my perspective, I have a duty to say what I think is true,” he said. “I’m often wrong. And I always say that because it’s a fact. I have been wrong a lot and I may be wrong now, but I am sincere. I’m saying what I believe is true, and I’m going to continue doing that no matter what.”
Charlie Kirk was not murdered for his opinions on transgenderism. Obviously.
Those of us who knew him best and called him a friend believe he was most likely murdered for his evolving views on Israel. 👀

But critics say that while he might be an honest man, though many think he’s a liar, he’s also a borderline antisemite who appears to be losing his mind.
“Hey Antisemite @TuckerCarlson, have some shame,” one critic tweeted. “Charlie was murdered by a Transgender Furry loving crackpot Tyler Robinson, who hated Charlie for his View on Transgenderism. That furry moron doesn’t give 2 cents about Charlie’s view on Israel.”
“What a POS,” another critic wrote. “It was the unit tattoo of the SS soldiers that ran and murdered Jews in concentration camps. It’s the ultimate evil Nazi tattoo. Platner knew this – it’s well documented – and Tucker does too.”
