"You're asking, 'Why are the Jews controlling our foreign policy?' That's what you just asked," said Cruz.
Why It’s Conflation
Carlson asked about AIPAC, which is a lobby, and about Iran policy. Cruz answered as if Carlson had asked about "the Jews." Cruz was the one who brought up Jews. Then he accused Carlson of it.
What Actually Happened
Carlson asked whether AIPAC should register as a foreign agent and whether its goals are shaped by the Israeli government: "If you say no, I think we both know that's not true." He pressed Cruz on U.S. involvement in a war with Iran.
