[The omnipotent and omnipresent bogeyman of the Right, Soros, is foolishly and wrongly attacked once more by the dull-witted and superstitious MAGAfied. He personally helped Poland and Hungary to form democracies. Naughty man.]

The latest episode of Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox Nation, titled “Hungary vs. Soros: The Fight for Civilization,” is maybe the most straightforwardly white nationalist piece of television he’s ever produced — an alarming accomplishment considering his recent oeuvre.

The 27-minute “documentary” opens with a sweeping aerial view of the Danube River in Budapest, then cuts to two white Hungarian parents playing with their child in a park, the sound of laughter layered over the angelic voices of a church choir. The music suddenly turns loud and ominous as the viewer is presented footage of desperate, bloodied migrants at the Hungarian border.

The camera then slowly zooms in on a black-and-white photo of an old man sitting at a desk: George Soros.

“The influence of George Soros here in Europe is more powerful than in the United States,” Hungary’s authoritarian prime minister, Viktor Orban, tells Carlson in a sit-down interview. “This is his main hunting area.”

Soros, a Jewish Hungarian-American billionaire investor and philanthropist who survived the Holocaust, has been the subject of vile anti-Semitic propaganda for over a decade. The far right — and Orban, in particular — would have you believe Soros is an omnipotent puppet master, using his liberal nonprofit, the Open Society Foundations, to hasten the end of the Christian West via open borders and nonwhite immigration. It’s a conspiracy theory that hews closely to classic anti-Semitic tropes about malevolent Jewish influence in politics and media.

Soros, Carlson says, “is waging a kind of war — political, social and demographic war — on the West.” In a recent interview about the episode, Carlson added that Soros’ aim is to make society “more dangerous, dirtier, less democratic, more disorganized, more at war with themselves, less cohesive — in other words, it’s a program of destruction aimed at the West.”

“Demographic war.”

“Dirtier.”

You could be forgiven for mistaking Carlson’s words for those written in the manifestos or social media screeds of white supremacist mass shooters. Robert Bowers, who in 2018 massacred 11 Jewish worshippers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, routinely posted similar conspiracy theories about Soros and Jews.

Carlson’s demonization of Soros is in stark contrast to his slobbering admiration of Orban, whose cruel and draconian anti-immigration policies have harmed asylum-seekers and frightened human rights observers across the globe. At one point in the episode, Carlson flies in a helicopter, a smile crawling across his face as he admires the sprawling, electrified, and razor-wired fence Orban erected below on Hungary’s southern border.

“Pretty great,” he says.

This isn’t Carlson’s first flirtation with Orban’s Hungary — he filmed his prime-time Fox News show in the country over the summer. Nor is it the first time he and other Fox News personalities have pushed anti-Soros messaging on air. But Carlson’s latest episode for Fox Nation, the network’s digital streaming service, marks one of the most significant and sinister invocations of the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory by an American news outlet.

To better understand the implications of Carlson, one of the most powerful figures in American politics, targeting Soros in this way, HuffPost talked with Emily Tamkin, a senior editor at The New Statesman who authored the book “The Influence of Soros” and the forthcoming book “Bad Jews.”

Old Thinker

You left out the part where Soros helped the Nazis locate Jewish people to secure his own safety.....

American Vet

Strange the MSM never mentions that......

Old, That Never happened. Soros has been attacked and lied about because he is a great contributor to the Democratic Party, and an easy target because he is Jewish. In truth, he gives millions of dollars to different charities around the world.

WEBCO

Or the part where Soros himself said that "America must learn its place in the New World Order"

Or the fact that he IS actively trying to destroy all western democracies.

Liberty Tree

So did the Mafia

Simple Sam Loc: USA

how is presenting the truth about one person, who despise Israel antisemitic? Hungry resisted Soros' attempt to transform their country. Not an antiemetic comment in Tucker's commentary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Soros has partially or fully funded over 200 organizations, none of which are charities, all of which subvert our constitution or oppose it.

To name a few of Soros' projects: Amnesty International, American Civil Liberties Union, Southern Poverty Law Center, Planned Parenthood, NARAL, NOW, NAACP, Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, Secretary of State Project, Media Matters, Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, Grantmakers Without Borders, Immigration Policy Center, National Abortion Federation, Palestinian Center for Human Rights, Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Social Justice Leadership, Think Progress, Progressive States Network.

If you think Soros is an American hero, you are six cans short of a six pack.

Why did Hungary’s PM Viktor Orban turn on George Soros?


George Soros was born in Budapest in 1930 to Jewish parents. He survived the Holocaust and later fled Hungary when the Communists seized power, to become one of the richest men and one of the biggest philanthropists in the world.

He has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in Hungary funding free school meals, human rights projects and a new university.

But Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his populist nationalist government claim Mr Soros has a secret plot to flood Hungary with migrants and destroy their nation. An accusation denied by Mr Soros.

Mr Orban in turn is accused of running a state funded media campaign to vilify Mr Soros and reviving ancient anti-Semitic stereotypes.

It is claimed Mr Orban was advised to make Mr Soros into a hate figure for political gain by a Jewish American political consultant. The accusations have been denied by the Hungarian government.

WEBCO

The university has already been thrown out of Hungry.

It's also quite hard to be antisemitic against an atheist. Soros has stated on numerous occasions that he doesn't believe in God. Let's not forget about his traitorous behavior against "his fellow" jews with the nazis.

Lordy lordy,, that child, 14 yr old at wars end, must have been the real terror for the Jews.. as the facts say he hid with and uncle and yes, at least on one occasion, he pasted out pro-Nazi news papers..

What do you think a preteen should have done to stay alive??

WEBCO

You don't betray your country, family or friends.

How can you not see that he is an evil and despicable human being...Hell bent on power and destruction.

permafrost Loc: Minnesota

I think perhaps you do not understand the danger the preteen and all Jews were in at that time.. If you want to rant about someone, the uncle or whoever helped him escape the Nazi would be the adult to target.. Unless you think the Nazie were bad guys after all..
