Tucker Carlson Calls Fears of ‘Radical Islam’ in the U.S. “Insane”

Carlson argued domestic issues like drug abuse and online adult content cause more harm than radical Islam, citing no U.S. deaths from radical Islam in 24 years.

  • Tucker Carlson told The American Conservative on Friday that concerns about 'radical Islam' are exaggerated, saying 'I see millions of Americans being destroyed, and none of it is at the hands of radical Islam'.
  • Earlier this month, a Turning Point USA straw poll showed attendees named 'radical Islam' the top threat, prompting Carlson to blame the Israeli government and its U.S. defenders for those views.
  • Carlson listed domestic threats, saying Adderall, video games and porn are destroying Americans, linked to suicides and drug overdoses, and argued OnlyFans is 'turning some huge percentage of American women into prostitutes'.
  • Supporters and detractors split after the interview, as critics on social media accused him of ignoring 9/11-era attacks like the Boston marathon bombing and Pulse nightclub shooting, while Meghan McCain mocked him and Marjorie Taylor Greene defended him.
  • Historically, Carlson has stoked fears of Islam, notably in 2017 when he said violent terrorism was an inevitability in Europe, yet more recently he condemned Islamophobia as disgusting at Turning Point USA.
