Some Republicans are waking up... Story I found

This was in a link from a recent column in the Washington Post.

The background of which was that on 21 September 2025, the hideous Tucker Carlson spoke at the hideous memorial service for the also-hideous, Charlie Kirk.

Tucker claimed the killing of Charlie Kirk was the same as the killing of Jesus; implying that Jews/Israelis had been behind Kirk’s assassination. For the Reich-wing Jews who admired Kirk, the link between Carlson's story and the ancient 'blood libel' allegations against Israel was (Finally!!!) clear.

“(Tucker is now) known for dog whistles, blaming everything on Jews, heaping praise on fake-historian Hitler apologists, apologizing to the Bin Laden terrorist family, denying Hamas is a terrorist group, siding with Islamist terrorists, and pretending Russians enjoy a higher standard of living than Americans.”
Here it comes!
What concerns me isn’t Tucker. What concerns me is this un-American toxicity is so welcomed in the Republican Party.” - Max Abrahms, a Republican political scientist who focuses on terrorism at Northeastern Univ.

C'mon, Max. For decades you ignored the dire warnings from people who tried and tried to warn you of what was right in front of you! But only now you see the publicly-venomous, unreconstructed filth that you supported?
