The American journalist has faced media accusations of anti-Semitism over his criticism of Israel and of racism over his stance on immigration.

The world-famous American journalist Tucker Carlson has told RT that he is not afraid of being killed for using his platform to say what he believes is true.

Kicked off Fox News

The ousted Fox News host has adopted a staunch non-interventionist stance toward US involvement in foreign conflicts in recent years.

Carlson is breaking sharply with President Donald Trump on key foreign policy issues such as Washington’s war on Iran and support for Israel.

Carlson’s Worldwide Popularity

Since being ousted from the news network, Carlson’s podcast has routinely garnered millions of views and featured high-profile interviews, including a 2024 conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In an exclusive interview with RT’s Rick Sanchez on Wednesday, Carlson said he had got old enough and insulated enough from the normal levers of control to say what I really think is true.

Kill me? OK

What are you going to do about it? Kill me? OK, I’m not afraid of that. I’m a Christian. So, I’m just going to keep talking.

Carlson blamed neocons within the American war lobby for pushing the US toward destruction.

America’s Nemesis

‘This Iran war, the war with Russia, these are the things that will destroy the US, and I live here and my family’s been here for 350 years, and I don’t want to see my country destroyed,’ he said.

Charlie Kirk

Another prominent right-wing influencer who was highly critical of hawks within the Republican Party and US involvement in foreign wars, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated last year.

Kirk, a co-founder of the nonprofit Turning Point USA, was fatally shot by a sniper while addressing a crowd at Utah Valley University.

Family members and officials said Tyler Robinson, the man charged with Kirk’s murder, had become more left-wing and radicalized by mainstream media in the years before the shooting.

The murder prompted debate over incitement and inflammatory political rhetoric amid a rise in political violence targeting public figures in the US.  Let readers know what you think
