The right loves to claim that antisemitism lives only on the left. But Tucker Carlson's recent Nick Fuentes interview has exposed it for the lie that it is. Todd Beeton traces how the conflict is exposing a dangerous truth about the modern GOP that they're only beginning to reckon with.

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.
