Based on the available evidence, the claim is TRUE.

Analysis:

• Tucker Carlson has explicitly denied hating Jews in a text exchange with right-wing filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, stating: "I agree with all that and I admire it. I'm hardly against Jews"¹.

• At a Turning Point USA convention, Carlson "declared himself to be free of the anti-Jewish animus"².

• While Carlson has faced serious accusations of antisemitism from major Jewish organizations—including being named "Antisemite of the Year" by StopAntisemitism for "mainstreaming antisemitism"²—and has been criticized for using antisemitic tropes when describing Jewish Ukrainian President Zelensky as "sweaty and rat-like" and "shifty"³, as well as platforming white supremacist Nick Fuentes who has said "I love Hitler"⁴⁵, these documented instances of him explicitly denying hatred toward Jews confirm that he has made such statements.

• The statements that he does not hate Jews appear to be part of his defense against accusations of antisemitism, though critics argue his actions and rhetoric tell a different story.
