Host and pundit Tucker Carlson has publicly criticized President Donald Trump and other conservatives for their support of Israel's recent military strikes on Iran.
In his newsletter titled "This Could Be the Final Newsletter Before All-Out War," Carlson accused Trump of being "complicit" in Israel's attack, arguing that U.S. funding and weapons supplied to Israel, which Trump has boasted about, place the U.S. at the center of the conflict.
He stated, "Washington knew these attacks would happen. They aided Israel in carrying them out," and suggested that direct U.S. involvement in a war with Iran would betray voters who supported Trump's "America First" platform.
Carlson also called for the U.S. to "drop Israel" and let it fight its own wars, emphasizing that such a conflict does not benefit the United States.
Additionally, Carlson targeted conservative media figures and donors, labeling them "warmongers" for advocating U.S. military involvement.
In a post on X, Carlson asked rhetorically, "Who are the warmongers?"

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee also weighed in, saying Israel's security remains in America's national interest.
"Seven hundred thousand Americans live in Israel," Huckabee wrote to supporters. "That is a full Congressional district but Tucker doesn't care."
Huckabee continued, with sarcasm, "He knows more about the Middle East than anyone.
"I learned long ago that the most dangerous man in the room is the guy who doesn't know what he doesn't know. He will get you killed. That's Tucker."

Tucker has gone off his meds...
“I learned long ago that the most dangerous man in the room is the guy who doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. He will get you killed. That’s Tucker.”
Crass indictment?
Or true (accurate).
He used to be good.
He’s really gone over to the dark side recently.
That's a lot of dual citizens.
IIRC the U.S. Government has never formally recognized dual citizenship in any individual.
Practically speaking it also seems to go out of its way to avoid forcing anyone who has reached the age of majority to pick one or the other.
I’ve always been put off by what seems like a fake ingenuousness in his ‘shtick’
Tucker should grow a goatee, teach a few semesters at an exclusive girls’ school, go into hiding, then reemerge as a morbidly obese weirdo on some insane mission... like Al Gore.
Never cared for his faux-astonished thing either.
Good ol’ TC can’t wait for the Mullahs to make some nukes and deliver them to Tel Aviv, Rome, NYC & Chicago as the Mullahs have announced. What will he say then?
Tucker should have spent the 80’s listening and learning from President Reagan instead of getting high and following around The Grateful Dead.
Rush Limbaugh always seemed skeptical of Chatswortg Osborne IV, as Rush called Tucker. For good reason.
What the F happened to Tucker??
Tucker is advocating for a nuclear Iran???
Excellent point. I had forgotten about that.
However, I had no idea he was so hostile to Israel, and to its sovereign right to preemptively respond to existential threats.
Will Tucker also support the Ayatollah dictatorship if millions of normal Iranian citizens revolt?
Israel can do whatever it think it needs to without any help from us directly in Iran.
No, he’s advocating avoiding another disaster like the last Iraq war.
Rush saw through Tucker like a glass window.
Yes, that’s a better description of what I meant.
