Fox News host Mark Levin warned that “evil and hatred” are spreading and urged Americans to act before a “red line” is crossed. He praised Victor Davis Hanson for condemning figures accused of promoting antisemitism and bigotry and argued many public figures remain silent due to fear of personal attacks. Levin framed the conflict as a threat to Western civilization and America’s founding principles ahead of the 250th anniversary and called for broad mobilization reminiscent of past movements.
Mark Levin Urges Americans To Push Back Against ‘Evil And Hatred’ Before A ‘Red Line’ Is Crossed
Fox News host Mark Levin issued an urgent call on Wednesday, warning that “evil and hatred” are spreading and must be resisted now to prevent a dangerous “red line” from being crossed.
In a post on his radio show’s website, Levin praised conservative scholar Victor Davis Hanson for publicly criticizing figures — including Tucker Carlson, a onetime friend — whom Hanson accused of profiting from antisemitism, attacks on Christians, and other forms of bigotry.
“Like me and some others, Victor has discussed and written about the Islamist and neo-fascist threat facing both parties and our country and its spread throughout the world,” Levin wrote. “We are not alone in our deep concern about what is happening. But I often wonder, why are there not many more voices, people who I know and have known for years, who’ve been outspoken about other threats to our nation, speaking out now? After all, the fundamentals of Western civilization and America’s founding are being directly and seriously threatened.”
Levin suggested one reason for the current silence: public figures who speak out risk intense personal attacks. He warned that those who raise alarms can expect ridicule, false accusations, and assaults on their families, careers, and reputations.
“The answer,” Levin wrote, “is that if you are a public or prominent figure, you will be subjected to a great deal of ridicule and libels for doing so. It will get personal fast. Your family, your career, and your character will be attacked.”
He said many conclude the personal cost is too high and therefore choose to remain silent. Levin challenged that reticence, arguing that those who have long defended conservative principles cannot abandon them now.
“BUT the fact is, if you actually believe in what you’ve said, argued, and promoted over the years, as a public figure, conservative activist, or virtuous citizen, then you cannot abandon those beliefs when expressing them is more important than ever. The time to do so is now, before a red line is crossed, making reversal daunting and much less likely. We have seen what happens when the evil and hatred being spread in a country devours the civil society and makes way for tyrannical regimes.”
Levin framed the debate as a defense of America's founding principles, invoking the nation's upcoming 250th anniversary as a moment for reflection and action.
“When we celebrate our 250th anniversary as a country this coming year, what are we celebrating? We are celebrating the founding of the greatest, most noble, just, free, and benevolent societal and governing construct in human history... We must not acquiesce to this and then later wonder what happened and how it happened. It will be too late. We are under attack, and we must come to grips with it.”
He expressed gratitude for those already speaking out and organizing against what he described as “anti‑American forces,” and urged broader mobilization that recalls past movements such as the original Boston Tea Party, the recent Tea Party movement, and key civil rights campaigns.
“My deepest gratitude to those who are aware of what it is happening, are alarmed by it, and fear the rapid progress these anti‑American forces have already made, and are doing something about it. They are speaking out and organizing against these evil and deadly forces... once roused, the American people will respond as we always have, and defeat this enemy — and enemy within that is supported by enemies outside our borders as well.”
Levin’s post comes amid public disputes with other right‑leaning personalities — including Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Jack Posobiec — over Israel, antisemitism, and related political flashpoints.
Context: The commentary reiterates Levin’s view that conservatives and other citizens should speak out against what he characterizes as rising authoritarian and bigoted forces. It reflects ongoing debates within right‑of‑center media about rhetoric, responsibility, and the limits of public discourse.
