Tucker Carlson stunned by moment Fox News host ‘reaches peak crazy’… as furious former pal strikes back
Tucker Carlson invoked the wrath of former Fox News colleague Mark Levin after accusing his former friend of ‘reaching peak crazy.’
Levin launched a scorched earth tirade against Carlson on Wednesday in response to Carlson’s criticism, warning ‘don’t screw with me, you little b***ard.’
Carlson mocked Levin as ‘crazy’ for allegedly insinuating one of Trump’s closest allies, Steve Witkoff, is an anti-Semite.
‘Mark Levin… I’ve been in the right-wing world my whole life. I know everybody. I worked with Mark. I’ve always gotten along with Mark, always been nice to me. But he just accused Trump, the Trump administration, of anti-Semitism,’ Carlson said.
‘So you have Mark Levin calling Steve Witkoff an anti-Semite. We’ve reached peak crazy, I mean, I think Witkoff is Jewish, right?’
Carlson insisted Witkoff, Trump’s envoy to the Middle East, ‘has the hand of God on him’ and is trying to bring about world peace.
‘I was so offended. And then I thought, I’m not gonna solve anything by calling Mark Levin and scolding him. Are we screaming at me? But I did think, like, he’s not stupid. If you’re saying, if you’re calling Steve Witkoff an anti-Semite on Twitter, like, you know you’re losing, right?’
Levin had posted on X responding to Witkoff, warning ‘neocon is a pejorative for Jew.’

‘Unbelievable,’ he added, alongside a video of Witkoff using the phrase.
Carlson’s criticism has sparked an immediate rebuke from Levin, who exploded at the right-wing star on his own podcast in response.
He said: ‘Schmuck pics a fight with me, doesn’t call me.’
Throughout much of the criticism, he refers to Carlson as ‘Chatsworth’ – a nickname appointed to him by commentator Rush Limbaugh.
‘Chatsworth is smart enough to know what he’s doing. He may have transitioned into what he’s become today, but he knows what he’s doing. I know what he’s doing.
‘Now he’s free to do what he wants. I believe in free speech. Go ahead, buy a subscription. Do whatever you want, it’s perfectly fine by me. But don’t screw with me, you little bastard, by twisting my words.’
Levin explained that he was simply trying to educate Witkoff and his followers about the undertones of using the term, and argued that Carlson was ‘smart enough’ to understand that.
‘The Neocon element believes that war is the only way to solve things,’ Witkoff had said in the interview.
Just weeks ago, Levin’s relationship with Trump was so solid and cozy that he was appointed to the president’s revamped Homeland Security Advisory Council
But he has split with the president over his approach to the Middle East and did not mince words when he called out the Arab nations for their ties to terrorism
The duo are both diehard MAGA supporters and endorsed Donald Trump as president
‘The president believes that his force of personality, the way he is going to respond to certain situations, can bend people to do things in a better way in the interests of the United States government.’
It comes just days after Levin became one of the first MAGA supporters to openly criticize Trump’s plans to accept a $400million ‘flying palace’ from the Qatari royal family.

‘Saudi Arabia played a significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of our people,’ Levin wrote Wednesday morning after Trump toured the country on a state visit to meet with Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud (MBS).
‘I didn’t hear their Crown Prince even apologize once yesterday for what they did to us.’
Levin, who is Jewish, also slammed Qatar’s government, likening it to a ‘terrorist regime.’ In a separate post, Levin wrote: ‘Qatar celebrates Hamas terrorist.’
