Tucker Carlson was roundly condemned this week after pushing the conspiracy theory that Covid-19 was created in a way to make Jews immune to it.
On Tuesday’s episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, Carlson was joined by veteran and author Dr. Andrew Huff for a lengthy discussion about the Covid-19 pandemic. Near the end of the episode, Carlson cited Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. highly controversial claim that the coronavirus could be “tailored” to have more adverse effects on specific groups of people. Huff said it was “scientifically true” before adding:
There was a finding in a scientific publication that two different populations of, well, two different populations of people of Jewish ancestry — depending on which line they’re from — one was more heavily impacted than the others.
Tucker interjected to clarify that Huff was referring to “Sephardic/Ashkenazi” Jews.
This is going to get Tucker in Trouble

Covid-19 Had been Engineered so that Ashkenazi Jews were Immune

Although the assertion came from Huff, Tucker also received heat for hosting the conversation and driving it in that direction.

Some of that backlash came from his fellow conservatives. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) sarcastically asked if Jews were running the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
RedState.com writer Bonchie proclaimed that anyone still pushing theories about Covid-19 being created by Jews was a “clown.”
Ah yes, it was the Joooos who created Covid-19 and not, you know, the Chinese in China, where the disease orginated, in a lab, controlled by the Chinese.
I’m sorry, but if you’re still doing the “he’s just asking questions” thing, you’re a clown. https://t.co/4kz3JZFIOM
During COVID, while our people were dying in large numbers, hospitalized, and struggling to breathe, they used it to accuse us of spreading the virus. Cuomo pointed to the high infection rates in our communities as proof of our guilt.
