Tucker Carlson was worried.
The popular podcaster saw a new threat to Trump supporters emerging.
And Tucker Carlson had one scary warning that every American needed to hear.
As American Media Watch Dog reports:
Fox News host Mark Levin argued that tech companies should censor what he called “lowlifes.”
“I don’t have any problem with de-platforming them. What does that mean, de-platforming them? Government law?” Levin declared on his show.
“No. It means that X or Twitter or Facebook or Amazon with Twitch and so forth says, you know what, you’re a low life. We’re not paying, you know, get off our platform,” Levin added.
Levin’s demand for censorship came as he called critics of the Iran War, like Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan, and Theo Von, Nazis, anti-semities and declared they hated America.
Carlson responded to Levin on his podcast and argued that Levin’s sole criterion for censoring the internet was support for the government of Israel.
Levin and Carlson equated opposing a policy with hating all Jews.
“But in any case, you see Mark Levin saying people who criticize the government of Israel, and that is his, and to the extent there is one, the official definition of antisemitism is criticism of the government of Israel, the secular government of Israel, which is not supported by all Jews, that’s for sure,” Carlson added.
Carlson went to tell his audience that Levin’s demand for internet censorship wasn’t happening in a vacuum and attracted Congressional support in the form of legislation that would require tech companies to censor anyone who didn’t support the government of Israel.
The host went on to reveal “that legislation sponsored by Josh Gottheimer, the Democrat from New Jersey, and amazingly, Republican MAGA stalwart Mike Lawler, two of the most florid and least ashamed neocons in the United States Congress, introduced legislation today to compel the tech companies to ban people who criticize Israel, the government of Israel, because that’s hate.”
Carlson raised the red flag that even though Americans voted against internet censorship in 2024, voices that wanted to muzzle free speech were rallying behind Levin’s call and seeking to impose new censorship protocols online.
“So what’s the takeaway from all this? Well, the first takeaway is that censorship is coming, and it will work unless people exercise their God-given and First Amendment-guaranteed right to push back against it with words and do so at high volume without any shame at all. It’s going to need a refusal to be intimidated by false claims of, quote, hate,” Carlson concluded.
Levin and Carlson have engaged in a nearly year-long feud over Middle East policy and the war with Iran.
Carlson now asserted that Levin is taking this feud to the extreme, and since polls show Americans are split on the Iran War, demanding that big tech silence his opponents.
