Claim: Tucker Carlson is mainstreaming a generation of podcasters and content creators who are obsessed with Jews

55%

Based on my research, this claim appears to be an opinion/accusation made by Laura Loomer, a far-right Jewish activist, rather than a verified factual statement. However, there is documented evidence regarding the context of this accusation:

Reasoning:

This exact quote originated from Laura Loomer, who made this accusation after Carlson's nicotine pouch company teased potentially sponsoring Tyler Oliveira, a YouTuber who made controversial videos targeting Orthodox Jewish communities¹²³
Carlson has indeed interviewed and platformed figures with documented antisemitic views, including Nick Fuentes (a white supremacist and Holocaust denier) and Ian Carroll (a Holocaust revisionist)⁴⁵³
Multiple sources note that Carlson has been criticized for "mainstreaming" views once considered fringe, including antisemitic rhetoric and hostility toward Israel⁴⁵
The PBS NewsHour reported that "Carlson recognized that Fuentes is growing in influence, and Carlson wanted to harness that influence"⁴
Conservative commentators and Jewish organizations have expressed concern that Carlson is helping bring far-right ideology and antisemitism into the political mainstream⁵⁴

However, it's important to note that this is an accusation/opinion from a political activist (Loomer) rather than an established fact. The evidence shows Carlson has platformed individuals with antisemitic views, but whether this constitutes "mainstreaming a generation of podcasters obsessed with Jews" is a matter of interpretation.
