Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt has revealed he is working behind the scenes with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx) and others to take down “revolting lunatics” like Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes.
“I think the only way we are going to defeat the rise in antisemitism on the right is from the right,” Greenblatt said during a panel interview at a Los Angeles synagogue on Wednesday.
“Nick Fuentes is disgusting, Tucker Carlson is disgusting, Candace Owens is disgusting, and so on, but there have been good people like Ted Cruz and Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin [and] Speaker [Mike] Johnson pushing back on these revolting lunatics.”
Greenblatt went on to say he was helping the lawmakers and conservative personalities “behind the scenes” in a bid to get social media platforms to crackdown on antisemitism and hate-filled speech.
“We definitely are working a lot to try to get the platforms to kind of enforce their own terms of service so that we can pull down the most offensive hate speech or get them to do it,” he said.
“What I try to do at ADL, what we try to do is provide data, is to provide tools, is to step up often quietly behind the scenes.”
Greenblatt, who has repeatedly publicly bashed both Carlson and Fuentes for their hate-filled antics, also ripped left-wing commentator Hasan Piker — ripping him as a “revolting person” who should be called “Hamas Piker.”

“He’s just a putrid– says horrible slanderous things about Jews, about Zionists, about Israel,” the ADL boss alleged.
“You might not know Hasan Piker, but if your kids are watching video games, you better believe they do, because on Twitch and on Steam he’s everywhere, let alone on YouTube and Insta.”
Carlson, for his part, fired back at Greenblatt’s comments after they started spreading on social media.
“Republican senator/presidential candidate working with the anti-white ADL to suppress speech. You can see why people begin to wonder about the system we currently have,” Carlson said on X.
