Trump’s Lack of Response to Antisemitism Creates Tension Between GOP Supporters and Established Party Principles
- Trump criticizes GOP members for opposing his Epstein ties but avoids condemning antisemites Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, deepening GOP divisions. - Carlson's 2025 interview with white nationalist Fuentes, who spread antisemitic tropes, drew ADL reports showing 15% of Republicans justify violence against Jews. - Jewish conservatives and Heritage Foundation resignations demand Trump address antisemitism, comparing inaction to Nazi-era parallels as GOP fractures over free speech vs. extremism. - Trump'
Donald Trump has openly rebuked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Matty Massie for opposing him regarding his previous ties to financier Jeffrey Epstein, but he has refrained from criticizing Tucker Carlson or antisemite Nick Fuentes, even as Republican infighting over their statements grows. By not addressing Carlson’s contentious interview with Fuentes, Trump has heightened worries about increasing antisemitism within the GOP, especially among younger conservative voices
The dispute began after Carlson featured Fuentes—a white nationalist notorious for antisemitic and misogynistic rhetoric—in a two-hour discussion in October 2025. During the program, Fuentes argued that Jewish identity is fundamentally linked to “blood and soil nationalism” and labeled American Jews as “unassimilable,” while Carlson did not challenge these remarks
Trump’s lack of response has been met with backlash from Jewish conservatives and established Republican leaders. Laurie Cardoza-Moore, a Christian Zionist who stepped down from the Heritage Foundation’s antisemitism task force, urged for a “Come-to-Jesus moment” to confront the issue, warning of echoes of the Nazi period
Trump has stood by Carlson, saying, “You can’t dictate who he interviews,” and sidestepped questions about Fuentes, with whom he previously shared a meal at Mar-a-Lago
Divisions within the GOP have widened as figures like Greene and Vance try to balance defending free speech with confronting antisemitism. Greene justified her participation at a Fuentes event in 2022 but claimed she did not know him personally
As the 2026 elections near, the Republican Party’s ongoing struggle to bridge its populist faction with its traditional conservative roots may determine its direction. With antisemitism on the rise and younger conservatives gravitating toward fringe ideologies, the GOP faces a crucial test of its ethical resolve—and Trump’s leadership.
