Tucker Carlson recently claimed that he does not know anyone in the United States who has been killed by radical Islam in the last 24 years, letting the mask slip again in his sharp turn against conservatives who believe radical Islam is a major threat to the West.
Since 2009 alone, at least 111 people have been murdered on U.S. soil in Islamist terror attacks. Those deaths occurred in Fort Hood, Boston, San Bernardino, Orlando, New York City, Chattanooga, Pensacola, and New Orleans, among other places. In each case, the perpetrators cited jihadist ideology, pledged allegiance to ISIS or al-Qaeda, or were directly inspired by Islamist propaganda.
These facts are not disputed by law enforcement, courts, or intelligence agencies. They are part of the public record. But according to Tucker’s new worldview, these must have all been random acts of violence.
In an anti-semitic screed, Carlson framed his comments as a rejection of what he described as an “Israeli government psyop,” arguing that Americans are being manipulated into fearing radical Islam while far more immediate dangers—drug overdoses, pornography, cultural collapse, go unaddressed. In reality, the reason Americans fear radical Islam is because seemingly every time they turn on the news, someone somewhere in the U.S., Europe, or Australia, most recently, has been murdered in the name of the Prophet Muhammad.
This is not an isolated incident. As I’ve reported repeatedly over the past year, Carlson’s national security and foreign policy views have shifted in ways that increasingly place him at odds with the America First movement he once claimed to represent.
In early December, Loomered.com documented Carlson’s growing alignment with foreign interests hostile to U.S. counterterrorism priorities, including his appearance at the Doha Forum and his reported purchase of property in Qatar, a state that has long funded Islamist movements and served as a hub for Hamas-linked media and political operations. He even appeared in a propaganda video for Hamas with supposed Palestinian “victims” of indiscriminate killing in Gaza.

Carlson’s false claim about victimless radical Islam was made on home turf at The American Conservative, whose advisory board includes prominent Trump critics and figures openly hostile to the MAGA movement, as I previously reported. This is all part of a broader divide-and-conquer strategy aimed at weakening America First conservatism from within.

Downplaying Islamist violence may help Tucker collect a paycheck from the Qatari government, but it flies in the face of President Trump’s foreign policy goals in the Middle East and his efforts to protect the homeland.
The victims of Fort Hood, Pulse Nightclub, and the Boston Marathon bombing are not fake. Their deaths were not random. They were the result of an ideology that explicitly justifies violence against civilians and openly declares its objectives.
Radical Islam is, in fact, the number one threat to public safety in the United States today and a major foreign policy challenge. That is why I’ve repeatedly called on President Trump to end Islamic immigration into the United States.
America First conservatives must reject Tucker’s lies and accept reality: For decades now, Islamists and their supporters have taken seriously their fight against everything the West stands for. It’s time to take radical Islamists at their word and defend against the bloody onslaught that will occur on the streets, not on the battlefield, if we let our guard down.
