(Jewish Group) Tucker Carlson called Ukraine's Jewish leader Zelenskyy 'rat-like' on Twitter show

Tucker Carlson called Ukraine's Jewish leader Zelenskyy 'rat-like' on his Twitter show, repeating a well-worn antisemitic trope

During the debut of his show, the recently ousted Fox News host called Ukraine's Jewish president "rat-like" — repeating an age-old slur used against Jews.

Carlson kicked off the first episode of his show Tuesday suggesting that the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in Southern Ukraine was an act of terrorism carried out by Ukrainians — and that US media is instead wrongfully claiming Vladimir Putin may be behind it.

The dam is near the frontlines between Russian and Ukrainian forces. The two warring countries publically blame each other for the breach, though NBC News reported that US intelligence officials believe Russia is likely behind the breach.

"Ukraine, as you may have heard, is led by a man called Zelenskyy. We can say for a dead certain fact that he was not involved. He couldn't have been; Zelensky is too decent for terrorism," Carlson said sarcastically. "Now you see him on television, and it's true you might form a different impression. Sweaty and rat-like, a comedian turned oligarch, a persecutor of Christians, a friend of BlackRock."
