Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson says he wouldn't vote for Michigan GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers "un point," again appearing to show his opposition to U.S. support for Israel's government.

Carlson, a former Fox News Channel opinion show host, made the comment on his podcast released Wednesday on which he also said Rogers, a former chairman of the House Intelligence committee, is "basically a tool of Israel and the intel agencies," in addition to saying he "wouldn't vote for Mike Rogers at gun point." 

Rogers is in a tight race for the open Senate seat with Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive who has recently apologized for comments that offended Jewish people, particularly Jewish Democrats in the state. 

Carlson also said that "there is no one that should be further from a position of power than Mike Rogers," according to the Detroit News.
