The horseshoe theory at its best: Tucker Carlson defends the radical left

Tucker Carlson, a far-right figure, came to the defense of Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the anti-Israel Democratic Senate candidate from Michigan. Carlson attacked El-Sayed's Republican opponent, Rogers, a longtime Israel supporter, calling him "the embodiment of cruelty and stupidity." Commentators see this as an example of the horseshoe theory.

Tucker Carlson, an influential far-right figure, has once again come to the defense of the radical left in the US. This time, he is defending Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the anti-Israel Democratic Senate candidate from Michigan. Carlson harshly attacked El-Sayed's Republican opponent, Rogers, a longtime Israel supporter, calling him "the embodiment of the cruelty and stupidity of the national security state." Carlson also said of Rogers: "He is a flatterer of Israel and an enemy of civil rights." Political commentators see this defense as an example of the horseshoe theory, according to which the two ends of the political spectrum resemble each other on key issues. El-Sayed himself dismissed the possibility that Carlson would join his campaign, but said that Carlson sheds light on "the corruption within the MAGA movement."
