Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) has encountered difficulties in hiring staff due to his support for Israel and the growing antisemitism within the Republican Party, according to a Wall Street Journal report. In an interview with Jack Butler, Cruz stated that the younger demographic within the GOP has a rising antisemitism problem, with figures like Nick Fuentes spearheading the "Groyperism" movement.
Cruz expressed that he has observed more antisemitism on the right over the past two years than he has experienced in his entire lifetime. He mentioned that his social media responses have also indicated that some Republican voters lean towards antisemitism, leading to challenges in recruiting new staff members. The senator emphasized that his stance on this issue is not a secret and that if 50% of applicants express similar sentiments, it is reasonable to assume that his 22-year-old staff may also hold or avoid expressing such views.
This issue comes to light as other prominent right-wing figures are increasingly critical of Israel and President Donald Trump's support for the country. Tucker Carlson, who has been vocal against Trump since the Iran war began in March, recently started posting more content about Israel and Trump's relationship with the nation.
Carlson even apologized on his show for misleading people about Trump's re-election, acknowledging that it was not intentional.
