He was blasting usury last night

"There is a reason why the world's great religions condemn usury & why societies have restricted it for thousands of years. High interest rates exploit the weak. Credit card debt destroys people...what the banks are doing is disgusting."

Who was he really talking about here?

For quite some time, they were the only group allowed to practice it in most of Europe.

Only if you consider usury to be semitism

Tucker is kind of an odd duck. I find that I agree with him 65% of the time. I don’t know if he is an anti Semite, but I would not be surprised to learn if he was an isolationist. Most of the time I watch his show it is focused on domestic topics and I can’t recall him doing much foreign policy. He is definitely not my favorite Fox News guy, but he is much more tolerable than say a Chris Wallace.

European Christians were not allowed to loan money to toher Christians at interest.

Therefore, the banking in Europe was initially set up using Jews so that Christians with money could collect interest and Christians that needed to borrow money could borrow at interest.

The Jews were set up as the middlemen.

Now see- that is anti Semitic. Is ursury exclusive to the Jewish faith? I think not.

Are all Jews guilty of usury? Again, of course not.

To say that is something the Jewish faith is intrinsically linked with, well, I’m sorry to say that is anti Semitic.

Dunno about anti-semitism, but he def. sounds anti-free market. Not surprising for a Trumpist opportunist. Can't cuck the tuck!

Is this why Jews were kicked out of 200 countries?

I'm not up on that history. I've always wondered where Jew hatred comes from. What's the big deal?

What does isolationism have to do with anti-semitism. If Tuck was anti-war, then he would prop up folks like Rand Paul and Justin Amash most of the time. Instead, he salivates over Andrew Yang.

Was certainly a large factor in some of those countries

No clue. It's a common talking point among Jew-hating historians that they were kicked out of that many.
