Is anyone actually surprised at this point?
Tucker Carlson appeared to all but endorse far-left Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s critical U.S. Senate race while launching a blistering attack against President Trump’s endorsed Republican candidate, Mike Rogers.
During an interview with “Breaking Points” co-host Saagar Enjeti, Carlson declared that he would not vote for Rogers “at gunpoint,” accused the former House Intelligence Committee chairman of being a “tool of Israel and the intelligence agencies,” and praised El-Sayed’s newly repackaged campaign as “literally Trumpian.”
“I wouldn’t vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint,” Carlson said bluntly.
Enjeti noted that Rogers lost Michigan’s 2024 Senate race to Democrat Elissa Slotkin even as President Trump carried the state.
“And so that’s the candidate,” Enjeti said. “The guy, a literal loser who lost when Donald Trump won the state, just to show you how much of a headwind he had at his back.”
Carlson then unloaded on Rogers.
“He’s basically a tool of Israel and the intelligence agencies,” Carlson said. “How would you run someone like that? I don’t even—it doesn’t even make sense.”
Carlson and Enjeti then turned their attention to El-Sayed, a Bernie Sanders-backed progressive who has supported radical left-wing policies, including defunding the police.
Enjeti openly acknowledged that El-Sayed is a “full-blown leftist” who previously embraced the “woke” agenda.
“He doesn’t call himself DSA. He’s a full-blown leftist,” Enjeti said.
“I’ve watched his ideological evolution, who you could easily call, as AOC said, was, quote, ‘woke one,’ right? Woke one where he said defund the police on a podcast. He said all kinds of silly things about football and masculinity. Standard leftist sh*t.”
Carlson added, “Hates Mackinac Island. He’s for vaccine mandates.”
But instead of warning voters about El-Sayed’s radical record, the pair praised the radical socialist’s campaign for allegedly adopting “America First-style messaging.”
“I watch his campaign now. It’s America First,” Enjeti said.
“He stands in front of a giant American flag. It’s almost Trumpian,” he continued.
Tucker didn’t even hesitate to take the bait, interrupting to gush: “Well, it’s literally Trumpian.”
In other words, El-Sayed appears to have discovered that wrapping socialism in the American flag and borrowing President Trump’s populist language may be the easiest way to fool Michigan voters.
Despite acknowledging El-Sayed’s far-left history, Enjeti predicted that the Democrat would defeat Rogers in November.
“If I had to bet, which I don’t, I would probably bet that he’ll win,” Enjeti said.
“I would think so,” Carlson responded.
El-Sayed did not suddenly become an America First conservative. He merely learned how to dress up his socialist agenda in populist language.
The Democrat’s official platform still calls for Medicare for All, taxing billionaire wealth, abolishing the filibuster, making voting easier, and promoting left-wing “LGBTQ+” policies.
Carlson then delivered another extraordinary attack against the Republican nominee.
“There’s no one who should be farther from a position of power than Mike Rogers,” Carlson said. “How did he get the Republican nomination for Senate?”
Carlson later called Rogers “the AIPAC candidate,” while Enjeti praised El-Sayed’s ability to “go up against AIPAC and to win.”
