What is completely disingenuous is acting like Carlson is just curious about why Cruz cares about Nigerian Christians being slaughtered.
No one put words into his mouth. This is a tactic used by Carlson routinely these days. Defend the communist New York mayor, defend communist Maduro, defend Hamas, defend Iran, but attack Cruz and other conservatives.
Even if your only knowledge on the subject is this short clip, you have Carlson blowing this off as a legitimate concern with the "maybe its a really valid concern, I don't know." It would take him 2 minutes to learn it IS a very valid concern.
Instead, what does Carlson do? He puts on a freaking terrorist sympathizer and promotes their garbage:

and declared that there is no campaign of targeted killings of Christians in Nigeria, lobbyist and PR flack Robert Amsterdam, had for years represented a leading Nigerian official closely associated with Fulani Islamists including the very militias that have been slaughtering Christians in Nigeria.
Robert Amsterdam, feted by Carlson as "defending Christians around the world," represented Nasir El-Rufai, who from 2015 to 2023 was the governor of the northern Nigerian state of Kaduna, home to the bulk of Fulani Islamist militias that have slaughtered thousands of Christians.
While serving as Kaduna's governor, El-Rufai directed substantial payments to those very same Fulani Islamists (by his own admission), and he ordered numerous crackdowns that reportedly resulted in the murders of more than 100 Christians.
