Tucker Carlson’s ‘detention’ claim unravels as new footage surfaces

(Worthy Insights) – The uproar surrounding the brief visit of conservative American media personality Tucker Carlson to Israel continues, after new footage released Thursday cast doubt on his claim that he was “detained” and “dragged into an interrogation room” at Ben-Gurion Airport.

Carlson told the Daily Mail that after concluding an interview with US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee in Jerusalem, Israeli security officials confiscated his passport and led his producer into a side room to question him about the content of their discussion.

However, footage first shared by social media activist Oli London shows Carlson at the VIP terminal at Ben-Gurion Airport, smiling, conversing with employees and even taking a photo with one of them, contradicting his narrative of being forcibly escorted and having his passport seized. In a post accompanying the video, London wrote that Carlson had been “exposed” and was neither arrested nor interrogated, but treated like any other visitor. [ Source (Read More…) ]
