Ted Cruz Discovers Antisemitism, Ignores AIPAC's Funding Cycle
Ted Cruz, a man who, let us not forget, willingly participated in an event with Holocaust denier and white supremacist Jared Taylor alongside Fuentes at the 2021 America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC), now finds his voice. His newfound outrage over Carlson's interview with the self-proclaimed 'incel leader' (and known antisemitic provocateur) is suspiciously timed. One might wonder if
this dramatic, public performance is less about genuine conviction and more about strategic optics, especially considering the pervasive silence from many politicians on matters of real antisemitism unless it serves a narrow political agenda. Instead of addressing the structural antisemitism often ignored by the political establishment—like when AIPAC, a lobbying group that spent $3.4 million in
2022 in direct contributions to candidates and is on track for more in 2024 , endorses candidates with questionable human rights records—Cruz engages in performative denunciation. It's almost as if some forms of extremism are more acceptable when properly laundered through campaign finance.
