Nalin Haley, a right-wing activist and the son of former South Carolina Governor and 2024 Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley, appeared on Tucker Carlson’s podcast last week, as the controversial pundit again criticized Israel, declaring its war against the Hamas terror organization “immoral.”
During the open monologue of his Thursday show, Carlson accused Israel of engaging in “collective punishment” in the Gaza Strip, deriding the war on Hamas as “immoral.”
“This is why what Israel is doing in Gaza is immoral, not simply because it’s a bloody war where civilians are being killed.”
Carlson defended his recent interview with white supremacist and Hitler apologist Nick Fuentes, denying that hosting the controversial far-right influencer constituted an endorsement of antisemitism.
Halfway into the episode, Carlson interviewed Haley, 24, who had campaigned on behalf of his mother’s bid for the Republican presidential nomination last year.
During the interview, Haley criticized not only illegal immigration but legal immigration, calling the latter “irresponsible” at this time.

When asked about Israel and the Republican party’s support for the Jewish state, Haley lamented what he called the party’s “obsession” with Israel.
“The reality is they’re just another country,” Haley said, before accusing Israel of “interfering” in American politics.
“If they want a better relationship with the United States, they need to stop interfering in our politics.”
“I just remember like growing up when I was in that 2016 era of conservative politics, Israel was untouchable,” Haley continued. “Like, you could not say anything about it.”
“It’s weird, the obsession, you know? Whether I’m not one to like the obsession, whether it’s good or bad. It’s just weird that people are obsessed with it the way it is, and I just don’t agree with either one.”
