This is just Tucker/Owens speak. These winger nazis genuinely believe that if they say "Gaza" you can't call THEM a racist. This is their MO - ask any anit-fascist researcher about it. This is the underground of the fascist movement, where MTG comes from.
This guy didn't disagree with Kirk about much - he's a nazi. And his excuse for WHY he's not a nazi, is a tell in and of itself. Ask around. This is their "newish" thing.
