Jennings: I Disagree with Tucker Carlson’s ‘Drop Israel’ Comments, The Fight for the Future of Western Civilization Is Here

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TAPPER: “Conservative media personality Tucker Carlson, who is supportive of Trump, generally spoke at the Republican convention. He published his newsletter this morning in which he he advocates specifically for the United States and President Trump, to, quote, drop Israel. He says, quote, it is not America‘s fight. Engaging in it would be a middle finger in the faces of the millions of voters who cast their ballots in hopes of creating a government that would finally put the United States first, unquote. There‘s a big part of the MAGA movement that agrees with Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and others.”

JENNINGS: “Yeah, I just disagree. Look, I think the fight for the future of western civilization is happening right here. And I think Israel is leading that fight. I mean, they‘re the ones who are standing up to the big destabilizing force in the Middle East. They‘re the ones who are standing up to these terror proxies. Make no mistake that if they had the chance, what happened here in Israel on October the 7th, they would do the same thing to us in the United States and do it in other countries in the west. So I just disagree with that viewpoint. I think most Republicans believe that Israel is our ally. Israel is our friend. And Israel and the United States share a special relationship and similar values. And standing up to these terrorists and these mullahs and these people that would destroy the west. I mean, remember, they don‘t just chant death to Israel, they chant death to America. We need to pay attention when they say that. And also thank our friends Israel for standing up to these bullies.”
