Defending the Name of Jesus Against Unrepentant Jew-Hatred and False Witness
Addressing the public rhetoric of Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fuentes—and those following their example—backed by verified documentation below. We believe that true love does not mean staying silent.

Declaration
We, the undersigned Christians are committed to the authority of Scripture and affirm that faith in Jesus calls us to holiness, love, and truth.
Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fuentes have—as self-professing Christians—repeatedly and explicitly propagated Jew-hatred, unverifiable claims, and falsehoods in public statements reaching millions over extended periods, invoking the name of Jesus and Christianity (see Supporting Evidence).
These individuals are named because their documented influence demands urgent attention. However, the biblical principles in this declaration apply to any professing Christian who invokes the name of Jesus while engaging in the same.
We grieve and categorically condemn this continual pattern of unrepentant behavior—reviving ancient blood libels, spreading false reports, and promoting dehumanizing caricatures regarding the Jewish people; demonizing and applying double standards to Israel as the only Jewish nation in the world; and generalizing guilt to an entire people group.
Such actions violate God's commands: "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor" (Exodus 20:16) and "You shall not spread a false report" (Exodus 23:1). They sow discord among brothers (Proverbs 6:16-19), defy individual justice (Ezekiel 18:20), employ unequal measures and double standards that are an abomination to the Lord (Proverbs 20:10), and represent the historic language of evil, not mere political commentary.
We reject the grotesque hypocrisy of claiming to love the King of the Jews while reviling His kinsmen according to the flesh (Romans 9:3-5).
True biblical love for those promoting such falsehoods does not mean silence in the face of evil. As Scripture instructs, "As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all" (1 Timothy 5:20).
We call these individuals and anyone following their example to genuine repentance: to confess publicly, cease their harmful words, and seek restoration through humility. Until such repentance is evident, we urge their local churches to pursue biblical discipline as outlined in Matthew 18:15–17.
We reject the attempt to make Jesus a figurehead for Jew-hatred. We see the lies being spread and we condemn them. To our Jewish neighbors, we commit to being a voice of truth and protection, refusing to stand idly by.
We declare unequivocally that these actions do not represent biblical Christianity, or Jesus. We call on Christians everywhere to speak out against this evil, and we commit ourselves to upholding truth in love and modeling Christlikeness in our own lives.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned

For Pastors
This has crossed the line. Instead of arguing more, the Church needs to call Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fuentes to repentance. See "The Truth in Love Declaration." http://ChristianCallToTruth.org

It’s not unloving to say it: Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fuentes continual rhetoric is wrong, brings dishonor to Jesus, and requires repentance. I stand with “The Truth in Love Declaration.” http://ChristianCallToTruth.org
FAQ
While the internet thrives on controversy, gossip, and endless debate, Christians are called to truth, love, and maturity. This Declaration is not an invitation to further bickering; it is a definitive line in the sand. We are moving beyond "internet drama" to a formal declaration: these figures have crossed the line into unrepentant sin.
We value political liberty. We are not silencing their legal right to speak; we are exercising our spiritual duty to rebuke.
Rather than engaging in fruitless arguments online, we encourage Christians to respond (if appropriate) with "The Truth in Love Declaration" and its Supporting Evidence. For example:

Examples
The condemnation above is based on explicit, repeated, and verifiable public statements by Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fuentes to a combined audience of many millions. Below are a few examples. For more, see the full Supporting Evidence with Sources.
Candace Owens
Christian Political Commentator & Podcaster. Born 1989.
Once a celebrated voice in American conservatism, Candace Owens has transformed into the movement's most vocal proponent of explicit antisemitism. Unlike others who merely ask leading questions, Owens creates aggressive assertions: reviving medieval blood libels, labeling Israel a "demonic" and "cult" nation, and dismissing verified Holocaust history as "bizarre propaganda."
Commanding the #1 ranked podcast in the world as of late 2025, she possesses a uniquely dangerous influence. She actively mainstreams archaic anti-Jewish falsehoods by framing them as "Christian courage" and "truth-telling" to millions of followers. She is no longer just a political commentator; she is effectively catechizing a generation of Christians into confident, unrepentant hatred.
EXAMPLES
"Some of the stories by the way sound completely absurd, like the idea they just like cut a human up and then sew them back together...that just sounds like bizarre propaganda."
Source: YouTube, July 2, 2024. Revising verified history of the Holocaust, mocking accounts of Josef Mengele's experiments as "bizarre propaganda." One of the survivors of the criminal experiments spoke out publicly after Owens' comments.
"Jews enslaved black people. You can say sorry or you can stfu [shut the f*** up] about it." "Wake up and learn the true history of slavery. Because that wasn't exactly a white-men sport, okay? Jewish people were the ones that were trading us. Jewish people were in control of the slave trade."
Source: X post, Dec 21, 2025; YouTube, Dec 19, 2025. Repeating the lies from the Nation of Islam's book The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, that the Jews secretly ran the Transatlantic slave trade.
“Catholics and Christians were going missing on Passover, and they would find bodies across Europe, and they were able to trace them back to Jews.” “There were Christians who kept on going missing on holidays.” “There’s too much I’ve learned about their history, about what was done to Christians, which they’re alleging now is blood libel—that none of that’s real, it didn’t happen.”
Multiple Sources. Reviving the medieval blood-libel myth that Jews consume Christian blood for Passover, a false accusation that has historically led to masses of Jewish deaths and persecution.
Tucker Carlson
Christian Political Commentator. Born 1969. Host of the Tucker Carlson Show after his termination from Fox News in 2023.
Veteran media host Tucker Carlson is the most sophisticated and dangerous antisemite of the three named. Rarely stating conclusions himself, he provides platform and permission for others to draw them. He has the largest capital of public trust with significant political connections and is responsible for legitimizing the previously shunned Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes in the Christian Conservative movement.
With his massive platform, he continues to host ever more extreme voices—critical of Jews or Israel—challenging others to disavow him for antisemitism and thereby risk his connections and fracture the Right politically. Increasing numbers have fallen prey to his compromise and moral capture.
🏆 Named "Antisemite of the Year" for 2025 by StopAntisemitism, for "platforming and praising Holocaust revisionists and Nazi apologists, while hiding behind irony and plausible deniability... By legitimizing extremist voices and weaponizing conspiratorial imagery at a massive scale, he has helped drag antisemitic ideas back into the mainstream.”
EXAMPLES
"You're clearly ascendant, you're enormously talented, you're more talented than I am ... now [Nick Fuentes] is bigger than ever.”
Source: YouTube, Oct 27, 2025. Platforming America's most notorious white supremacist and avowed antisemite Nick Fuentes without significant pushback or cross-exam, treating his views as valid conservative critique.
“I think you [Darryl Cooper] are the most important popular historian working in the United States today ... I want you to be widely recognized as the most important historian in the United States."
Source: YouTube, Sep 2, 2024. Repeatedly platformed Holocaust revisionists and Nazi sympathizers, interviewing Darryl Cooper and praising him despite Cooper's claims that the Nazis "just threw these people into camps" due to poor planning rather than genocidal intent; similarly hosted Dave Collum, who argued "one can make the argument we should have sided with Hitler," without any real challenge.
"This brain virus ... Christian Zionists. Like—what is that? I can just say for myself, I dislike them more than anybody. Because what? Because it's Christian heresy, and I'm offended by that as a Christian."
Source: YouTube, Oct 27, 2025. Attacking fellow Christians's biblical convictions about Israel, using language that pathologizes their faith and questions their allegiance to Christianity.
Nick Fuentes
Christian White Supremacists. Born 1998. Host of America First, founder of the Alt-Right "Groyper" movement, avowed Holocaust denier, self-described sexist and admirer of both Hitler and Stalin.
EXAMPLES
"Jews run everything and they worship the devil. … the problem is Jewish, Jewish—it's all together. It's all of them together. It's not just the Zionists. It's not just the people that really care about Israel. It's a lot of them, OK? And it's the ones that even aren’t too fond of Israel.”
Source: American First, Jan 10, 2024, Telegram.
"Why is Hitler cool? I'll tell you why very simply. Because what Hitler represents is if white people didn't give a f***. That's what it represents."
Source: America First, Dec 8, 2025, Rumble.
"Christ is King." "we've got to make America a Christian nation again." "Jews have no place in Western civilization because they are not Christian." "We want a Christian society. No prefix, no suffix. We want Christ.”

We are a coalition of concerned Christians. We are not a political action committee, a Jewish interest group, or a secular activist organization. We are a coalition of pastors, theologians, lay Christians—and we appeal to any believer of moral conscience—from across the denominational spectrum who hold to the Christian faith and the authority of Scripture.
Our Purview. This declaration is a religious statement, not a legal indictment. We do not speak as officers of a court regarding civil statutes, but as members of the Body of Christ regarding moral transgression.
We assert our religious liberty to assess the public "fruit" of self-professing believers and to separate ourselves from that which we deem unholy. Our rebuke is based solely on Biblical fidelity, specifically the 9th Commandment, which forbids bearing false witness, and the apostolic instruction to rebuke those who persist in sin (1 Timothy 5:20).
Our Motivation. Prominent figures are invoking the name of Jesus to sanitize hatred against the Jewish people. We refuse to stand idly by. We commit to being a voice of truth and protection for our Jewish neighbors, believing that silence in the face of such misrepresentation is not neutrality; it is complicity.
Our Hope. We do not desire the destruction of these individuals, but their repentance. Until that day, our primary loyalty lies with the Truth—who is a Person—and ensuring His name is not blasphemed among the nations because of the conduct of those claiming to be His followers.
