An American evangelical leader said Monday that conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson should not be allowed anywhere near the White House for peddling conspiracy theories against the Jewish people.

The unequivocal remarks came as images published this weekend showed Carlson posing with U.S. President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk at the White House.

“Tucker Carlson’s antisemitism does not reflect the values of the Trump Administration,” Laurie Cardoza-Moore said in a statement. “He is the slightly savvier mentor of Candace Owens, peddling a new woke right, fake-Christian form of Jew-hatred.”

The Florida-based Evangelical leader, who hosts the television program Focus On Israel, said that she was inundated with calls from concerned Americans over Carlson being hosted at the White House.

She noted that after the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust, the political pundit “peddles conspiracy theories against God’s Chosen,” platforming Holocaust revisionists, Jew-haters and Christian leaders on the Palestinian Authority payroll.

“Carlson’s positions on Jews are demonic and in violation of the Ninth Commandment, bearing false witness against your neighbor,” she said. “We can put America First and Make America Great Again without false prophets like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.”
