Anytime he speaks we're always thinking about this:

Some are *shocked* that Carlson would so directly embrace Holocaust revisionism & antisemitism. This is who he’s always been. Few have done more to normalize the antisemitism & white supremacy that’s directly fueled violence against Jews & so many others. haaretz.com/us-news/2024-0…
