"So it's about 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem, and Jesus shows up and he starts talking about the people in power, and he starts doing the worst thing that you can do, which is telling the truth about people, and they hate it and they just go bonkers. They hate it, and they become obsessed with making him stop. This guy's got to stop talking. We've got to shut this guy up. And I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamplit room with a bunch of guys sitting around and eating hummus, thinking about what do we do about this guy telling the truth about us. We must make him stop talking."
"And there's always one guy with the bright idea, and I can hear him say, I've got an idea, why don't we just kill him? That'll shut him up. That'll fix the problem. It doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way."

Tucker Carlson delivered a speech at Charlie Kirk's memorial that used a story about Jesus criticizing people in power and Jewish leaders plotting to kill him. Carlson described a scene of men “sitting around and eating hummus” and suggested someone proposed killing Jesus to stop him from speaking. The remarks drew accusations of antisemitism and widespread debate about appropriateness at a memorial service. Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman publicly condemned the remarks, calling them antisemitic innuendo and saying such behavior was especially inappropriate at a memorial for a respected individual.
