Story summary
In an interview with Fox News Digital on Thursday, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee criticized rapper Macklemore, alleging antisemitism and accusing him of supporting Hamas's actions against Israel. Huckabee, who is now the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, said he supports NFL owners considering canceling Macklemore’s performances. He claimed that Macklemore has become "the voice" of Jew hatred by taking a pro-Hamas stance, which he described as backing those who commit violent acts like beheading babies and burning elderly people alive during the conflict in Gaza. According to Huckabee, Hamas killed around 1200 people and took over 251 hostages, including many Americans, leading him to argue that there should be consequences for such inflammatory speech.
