Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has stated that Christian Zionism is a “Christian heresy” in an interview with controversial political commentator Nick Fuentes on his show this week.

In the two-hour-long conversation, posted to Carlson’s platform on his social media profile, the pair lambasted “Christian Zionists”, using stark language to denounce American conservatives who ardently support Israel.

Carlson, an Episcopalian Christian, said he “dislike[s] them more than anybody” and blasted the phenomenon as a “Christian heresy” that offends him as a believer. He questioned why figures such as Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, John Bolton and other non-Jewish Republicans seem “seized by this brain virus” of unswerving Zionism.
