Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host known for his controversial views and conspiracy theories, is at the center of a notable drama involving figures in the media and politics. According to Ryan Lizza, a journalist who has been entangled in a love triangle with Olivia Nuzzi and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Carlson suggested that the personal disputes were part of a larger plot attributed to an “Israeli-Deep State” conspiracy aimed at blackmailing Kennedy and undermining Donald Trump.
In a recent series published on his Substack platform, Telos News, Lizza provides insights into the unfolding situation, which he personally experienced. He recounts a smear campaign orchestrated by Nuzzi, with whom he was previously engaged, while she carried on a relationship with Kennedy. Lizza discusses a revealing conversation he had with Isabella Simonetti, a Wall Street Journal media reporter, where Nuzzi denied all allegations against her, despite their validity.
Lizza claims that Nuzzi, in a bid to reconnect with Kennedy, created a new email account to send him a recording of her denial to Simonetti. This recording eventually made its way to Carlson, who reportedly dined with Kennedy during this time. Carlson allegedly posited that Kennedy was the victim of a significant plot aimed at him, extending to more than just personal conflicts, framing it as a conspiracy that could implicate influential players seeking to destabilize Trump through Kennedy.
Carlson’s engagement with various conspiracy theories has drawn criticism, particularly his promotion of anti-Semitic narratives and accusations surrounding Israel and Jewish-Americans, reflecting a troubling trend in his media presence.
While the drama is laced with intrigue, it underscores the intersecting realms of personal relationships, journalism, and political power, offering a glimpse into how narratives can intertwine in unpredictable ways. As the story unfolds, observers remain keen on how these developments will influence future political landscapes and the broader discourse around media integrity and accountability.
