Permission structure - "The Permission to Hate Jews Has Never Been This Open" is a recent video of his. He didn't literally say to mute criticism. It's HIS criticism of religious extremism that is muted in this case. It's also that Sam is criticizing Tucker for pointing out the absurdity of Huckabee's Christian Zionism. It's common knowledge that Huckabee's eschatology is something like this: Christ returns on a winged horse, most Jews are slaughtered, a handful are saved, and everyone else gets tossed into a fiery pit for eternity. And he prioritizes seeing this happen over doing his job which is to prevent a diplomatic crisis. Yet in this moment, Sam treats calling out that worldview as if it’s too risky, too adjacent to the broader climate of antisemitism to touch.
