Glenn Greenwald PREDICTS Anti-Israel GOP Candidate, ‘HOPES’ It’s Tucker Carlson | RISING

In a recent appearance on the show Rising, journalist Glenn Greenwald predicted that the 2028 Republican primary will feature a major "anti-Israel" candidate and explicitly stated his hope that the candidate will be Tucker Carlson.

 

Key Details of the Prediction

The 2028 Shift: Greenwald argued that while the Democratic Party has already seen a significant shift away from traditional Zionism, a similar "major candidate" is inevitable in the GOP.

"America First" Platform: He suggested that even if Carlson does not run, another figure like Thomas Massie or Marjorie Taylor Greene might step forward to run on a platform that prioritizes domestic issues—such as the economy and addiction crises in the Midwest—over sending billions in aid to Ukraine or Israel.

Trump's Stance: Greenwald criticized Donald Trump for being "poll-aware" on almost every issue except for Israel, noting that public support for Israel is declining rapidly in the U.S..

Carlson's Reluctance: Despite Greenwald's public "hope," he acknowledged that Carlson is currently a close friend who has remained adamant about not running for president.

 

Greenwald's comments come amid a backdrop of heightened political tension, including his reports on an ongoing "Iran War" and criticisms of other GOP figures like Ron DeSantis for their pro-Israel legislative actions.
