Jewish Civil Rights Group Brands Carlson as ‘Antisemite of the Year’

Podcaster Tucker Carlson has been named “Antisemite of the Year” by StopAntisemitism, a Jewish civil rights group that said it voted by a high margin to condemn him after he used his platform to elevate people it described as antisemitic extremists.

Liora Rez, the group’s founder and executive director, said in an interview that Carlson had hosted “glowing interviews” with antisemitic figures and Holocaust deniers, giving them a prominent platform.

StopAntisemitism said the designation is a “distinct dishonor” that “is reserved for the most bigoted and hateful individual.”
