If Tucker Carlson is Being Isolated by Republicans for His Anti-Semitism, Then Why Is He in The Oval Office with Trump?

In an article written in the Washington Examiner, Edward Blum asks, "How will we treat the cancer of anti-Semitism?"

An important question to ask, but Blum falls short in answering it. As with many conservatives, Blum focuses on left-wing anti-Semitism while minimizing right-wing anti-Semitism though he does acknowledge it. In his acknowledgment, Blum makes a very curious statement:

Critics of this op-ed might point out that the Republican Party is similarly afflicted this cancer. Absolutely true, but Republicans are making a more substantial (though still insufficient) effort at siloing the problem. Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, who aren't in government, are increasingly viewed in isolation.

Well, tell that to President Trump. Three weeks into January, Carlson has twice had an audience with Trump and other White House officials.

If you're having an audience with the President of the United States in the Oval Office, then you cannot be viewed as being in isolation.

As I have argued previously, JD Vance is not Donald Trump's running mate without Tucker Carlson.

As for Nick Fuentes, Carlson had no trouble platforming him and Trump didn't have a problem with Carlson platforming Fuentes either.

If Edward Blum wants to treat the cancer of anti-Semitism, then he must treat its causes and one of those causes is Donald Trump. 

If Blum cannot recognize Trump as one of the causes of anti-Semitism in this country, then he is not serious about treating it.
