Mike Johnson Calls Tucker Carlson’s Controversial Interview A ‘Big Mistake’
HuffPost
“We should not be giving a platform to amplify those views,” the House speaker said of Carlson’s interview with a white nationalist.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) joined other Republican leaders in criticizing Tucker Carlson for his interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, saying it was a “big mistake.”
The remarks from Johnson, who made them in an interview with The Hill published Tuesday, were a firmer condemnation of the interview than he’d made weeks earlier.
“I spoke briefly with Tucker about that, and I think it’s a responsibility. He has a lot of listeners, and I think giving Nick Fuentes that platform is a big mistake,” Johnson said.
“We should not be giving a platform to amplify those views. And I think that’s important for us to say,” he continued, describing Fuentes’ rhetoric as “vile, terrible stuff. I mean, it’s not just antisemitic, it’s openly racist, it’s violent — things you can’t even repeat on the House floor.”
Johnson raised some concerns about Carlson’s Fuentes interview earlier this month in an interview with The National Review.
