Tucker Carlson has found himself at the center of controversy once again. This time for two reasons: his recent interview with Nick Fuentes, a figure widely known for antisemitic and white-nationalist rhetoric, and his claim of having experienced a demonic attack shortly after what he described as a profound encounter with God.
The backlash has been fierce, and not only from the secular press. Many on the political right who once condemned “cancel culture” now seem eager to cancel Carlson. The same voices that demanded nuance and mercy for others now appear quick to condemn one of their own.
Let’s start with the Fuentes interview. Carlson gave Fuentes nearly two hours on his program, describing him as “talented” and “engaged,” and calling some of his ideas “not crazy.” He did not explicitly agree with Fuentes’ antisemitic views, but neither did he firmly challenge them. It was, at best, a lapse in discernment – a moment when generosity of conversation became a platform for poison.
Nick Fuentes’ ideology is insufferable. His antisemitism is real and destructive. Christians must be clear: such views are incompatible with the Gospel of Christ and are subject to God’s judgment. Yet acknowledging the wrongness of Fuentes’ words does not require the destruction of Tucker Carlson. Correction is not the same as condemnation.
