Fox’s Mark Levin Rages at Right-Wingers Who Won’t Denounce ‘Wicked Neanderthal’ Tucker Carlson: ‘Do They Have No Self-Respect?’

Fox News host Mark Levin went off on Thursday, raging at those on the right who continue to refuse to denounce Tucker Carlson – presumably including Vice President JD Vance, although Levin did not name names.

“What will it take for this bizarre Woke Right cabal to denounce and reject Tucker Carlson? His vile attacks against POTUS alone should motivate members of the president’s inner circle to condemn this obtuse and wicked Neanderthal — the president himself has condemned him repeatedly. Is their loyalty for Carlson greater than for the president? Do they have no self-respect?” Levin wrote on social media.

Vance has been under fire in recent days over his refusal to condemn Carlson, who has recently argued that Trump should be removed from office “immediately” and has long been accused of promoting vehement anti-Semitism. Vance, shortly after Levin’s tweet, defended his “friend” Carlson from the White House podium.

“Now, I see, Carlson’s essentially throwing his support behind El-Sayed in Michigan. Unsurprising to most of us. That said, where is the so-called White House War Room? Others are digging a hole out from which they may not be able to climb if they seek office or higher office or some kind of public platform beyond the Trump presidency. What kind of spell does Carlson have over them?” Levin continued, adding:

Carlson and the Woke Right have no huge following outside the Internet, foreign bots, and the Democrat Party-aligned media that promote them. The vast majority of Republicans, conservatives/MAGA, and the American public reject their insanity, bigotry, and conspiracies despite their many hits, clicks, algorithms, and the rest. And let us not confuse curiosity, entertainment, and the appeal of the perverse to many rubberneckers with something serious or substantive, let alone electoral clout. Indeed, Carlson’s recently endorsed candidates have flopped spectacularly.

Tucker Carlson has become a litmus test of sorts. If you’re a rational, upright, decent, and principled person, you have nothing but contempt for him and what he represents. If you don’t, well, that’s another story.

Levin and Carlson have attacked each other publicly for many months now, following a major civil war in the GOP over Carlson’s platforming of fringe conspiracy theorists and anti-Semites, including Nick Fuentes. Carlson’s escalating criticism of Trump, Israel, and the war in Iran has also led to increasing speculation that he may run for president on a third-party ticket or as a far-right insurgent in the GOP.
