Jewish House Democrats condemn Tucker Carlson for Holocaust denial support

A group of Jewish House Democrats, led by Rep. Seth Magaziner, issued a joint statement condemning Tucker Carlson for hosting Holocaust denier Darryl Cooper on his podcast. The statement highlighted Cooper's troubling assertions, including claims about the U.S. being on the 'wrong side' in World War II and minimizing the deaths of Jews in concentration camps. The Democrats criticized Carlson for providing a platform for such dangerous ideologies, which they believe endangers Jewish communities and other minorities. They also expressed concern over the lack of condemnation from influential figures like Elon Musk and Senator J.D. Vance, who failed to denounce Carlson's actions. The letter concluded with a strong call to reject the normalization of Nazism and antisemitism, emphasizing the responsibility of leaders to combat these ideologies. The issue of Jewish matters has gained prominence in the current election cycle, with some Democrats facing challenges due to their positions on Israel, making the response to such incidents particularly critical.
