Overview
- In posts on X, Laura Loomer accused Tucker Carlson of telling followers to “know where their local Chabad is” and said he has “blood on his hands.”
- Tucker Carlson issued a rare public response calling the allegation “absurd slander,” denying he ever urged people to target Chabad and stating he opposes antisemitism and violence.
- The feud follows a car-ramming at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, where security shot the driver dead and preliminary reports said the vehicle may have contained explosives, with the body too burned to immediately identify.
- Hindustan Times reported that some outlets named a possible suspect and noted the vehicle’s registration to a naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon, though authorities had not confirmed an identity.
- Loomer also linked the Old Dominion University ROTC shooting by Mohamed Jalloh to “Islamic terror” and urged deportations, prompting public criticism from conservatives including Marjorie Taylor Greene.
