Anti-LGBTQ+ right-wing broadcaster Jason Whitlock has praised, platformed, and promoted E. Michael Jones, an antisemitic author whom Whitlock recently interviewed for the right-wing outlet Blaze Media.
In the interview, Jones said that Jews “took over the Blacks early on,” are “undermining the moral fabric of the American people,” and are “running the Biden administration.” His claims all echo antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jews using people of color and LGBTQ+-inclusive “cultural Marxism” to start a culture war against Christian values and Western society.
“[Jews] have always been involved in pornography as a way of gaining control over the population where they’re always a minority,” Jones said in the interview. “The Jews know this, and they have spent their entire time here in the United States of America undermining the moral fabric of the American people.”

Whitlock replied, “I get it, and I can’t say that I disagree.”
Jones said the public needs to identify the “457 Jews who are running the Biden administration,” and “hold them accountable.” He also said that “[Jews] created this plantation for Black people known as sexual liberation.”
During their conversation, Whitlock praised Jones for his “fearless” views, and posted an image during their broadcast declaring that Jones had dropped a “TRUTH BOMB” on listeners. Additionally, Whitlock told listeners, “The man is speaking facts, and I know the intent of what he just said, and I got no problem with it.”
Despite his praise, numerous commenters on X criticized Whitlock for promoting Jones. Whitlock later removed the interview from YouTube as well as two posts on X promoting Jones. However, Whitlock noted that the interview remains accessible via Blaze Media, the right-wing video site Rumble, Apple, and Spotify.
In a subsequent broadcast, Whitlock admitted, “I should have been better prepared [for my interview with Jones]. That’s where I blamed myself. After the interview, I did start, like, looking around and seeing like, Oh, man, this guy’s got some real controversy to him.’ I don’t regret having him on. I regret not being as prepared as I should have been.”
But Whitlock, who has long worked in journalism, should have been prepared. At the start of his interview, he praised Jones for being “under attack by the Anti-Defamation League” (ADL). On its website, the ADL criticized Jones for “propagating and perpetrating attacks on the Catholic Church and moral standards, social stability, and political order throughout the world.”
Whitlock’s support of an antisemite isn’t entirely surprising. He has previously defended antisemitic comments from late 2022 made by rapper Ye (formerly Kanye West). Ye said he would go “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” adding, “You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
Whitlock defended Ye, writing, “You can’t question black entertainers’ unhealthy relationship with non-religious Jewish power brokers in Hollywood.”
Whitlock has also previously aired anti-LGBTQ+ views. He has promoted right-wing broadcaster Matt Walsh’s What is a Woman?, an anti-trans film that’s filled with misinformation and distortions. Whitlock titled one of his previous podcast episodes, “LGBT Want to Eradicate America’s Biblical Values.” He accused an NFL football player of being a closet homosexual for wearing brightly colored clothing. He has also entertained anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theories about Michelle Obama being a transgender woman and Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband having a gay relationship with a man who physically assaulted him.
