Fox News personality Mark Levin has launched a scathing verbal attack on his former associate, Tucker Carlson, branding him as a ‘little b******’ and a ‘Nazi promoter’ during a live exchange on his radio broadcast. This marks a new level of hostility between these two prominent MAGA figures.
Their friendship unraveled earlier this year over their opposing perspectives on the Israel-Palestine dispute. Levin strongly supports Israel, whereas Carlson has shown some empathy towards Hamas.
On his Friday radio segment, Levin expressed his fury towards Carlson, who had sent him an antagonistic text earlier that day, suggesting a debate at an upcoming Turning Point USA gathering.
During The Mark Levin Show, he shared the contents of the message, then lambasted the right-wing commentator while reading additional texts that followed.
“This morning, I received a peculiar text from Tucker Carlson,” Levin, 68, revealed to his audience. “‘Good morning. The leadership at Turning Point has asked me to debate you at their event in Scottsdale in December,’ Carlson allegedly wrote, as recounted by Levin.
‘”I’m happy to do it and I hope you’ll agree as well.
‘”Beyond the personal insults, which I will try and keep to a minimum, there are real and important ideological differences between us, and I think the country would benefit from an extended conversation about them.”‘
Levin told Carlson, 56, he was not interested and would ‘rather debate a skunk’, before criticizing his former friend for platforming guests like controversial white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, 27, on his podcast.

This week, Levin used the Friday episode of his radio show to vent his rage at Carlson (pictured), who he said had sent him an inflammatory text message that morning requesting to debate him at an upcoming Turning Point USA event
He claimed that the late Charlie Kirk, who founded Turning Point, would be sickened by Carlson’s choice of guests.
‘What would Charlie say? What would Rush [Limbaugh] say?’ Levin raged. He then read his ‘verbatim’ text message response to Carlson aloud.
‘”I want nothing to do with you, what you’ve become — your vile libels against my faith, millions of Christians, and in my view, what you seek do to our country,”‘ Levin said he wrote back.
‘”There’s nothing to debate. You’re a Nazi promoter.
‘”You’re the modern day David Duke,”‘ he added, referring to a Klu Klux Klan leader who was a Republican member of the Louisiana House of Representatives in the nineties who parroted anti-Semitic conspiracies.
‘”For the record, I’m strongly anti-Nazi… but that’s hardly the point,”‘ Carlson hit back, according to Levin.
‘”This seems like the perfect opportunity to rebut what you consider evil ideas, and to do it to my face like a man.
‘”I think you’d jump at the chance, assuming you believe your positions are defensible.
‘”I’m offering the marketplace of ideas you often talk about, is it possible you can’t really defend, for example, what Israel has done to civilians in Gaza?”‘
Levin then ripped Carlson as a ‘little b******’ and spent almost two hours raging about the former Fox News host along with Nick Fuentes, who hosts America First.
The slur refers to a person born out of wedlock, alluding to the frivolousness of one’s mother.

Carlson rose to fame presenting Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News, until the broadcaster canceled the show in April 2023.
Since then, he launched The Tucker Carlson show, where he has expressed support for Russian President Vladimir Putin, and promoted several conspiracy theories on topics including Covid-19 and the January 6 Capitol attack.
Levin has also pedaled conspiracy theories, including the idea that Obama loyalists waged a ‘Deep State’ coup against Trump by launching investigations into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US elections.
