Right-wing US media personality Tucker Carlson has publicly accused conservative influencer Laura Loomer of “slander,” demanding she stop leveling accusations of antisemitism against him The exchange marks the latest development in a months-long feud between the two figures, playing out on the social media platform X
In a rarely issued direct statement on Thursday, Carlson responded to Loomer after she alleged his rhetoric had incited a car-ramming attack at a synagogue in Michigan Loomer, a prominent ally of former President Donald Trump, claimed Carlson’s language was antisemitic and had inspired the attack Carlson’s post strongly rebuked Loomer’s claims, which he referred to as “filth” he typically avoids for the same reason he avoids pornography, calling it “unhealthy” and something he does not want to encourage
This public confrontation underscores the acrimonious dynamic between the two influential commentators. Carlson’s post addressed Loomer’s allegations directly, stating, “in this specific case I understand exactly what you’re doing” before accusing her of slander The feud has been ongoing for several months, with this incident representing a significant and direct public escalation between the two personalities
