Tucker Carlson has publicly condemned President Trump’s joint military strike with Israel on Iran as “absolutely disgusting and evil,” signaling a major fracture in Trump’s MAGA base just one week after the conservative influencer urged the president against war in an Oval Office meeting.
Conservative podcasting titan Tucker Carlson has unleashed a rare and blistering criticism against President Donald Trump, denouncing the U.S. military’s joint strike with Israel on Iran as “absolutely disgusting and evil.” The condemnation, delivered to journalist Jon Karl, marks a significant fracture in Trump’s MAGA base, which has long supported the president for his campaign promise to end regime-change wars in the Middle East. Carlson, a major political ally of Vice President JD Vance who campaigned vigorously for Trump and spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention, met with Trump in the Oval Office just last week, where he reportedly urged the president to show restraint and avoid striking Iran.
Carlson’s break follows a wave of internal GOP dissent, including a sharp rebuke from former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who accused Trump of betraying anti-war voters. “Thousands and thousands of Americans from my generation have been killed and injured in never ending pointless foreign wars and we said no more,” Greene wrote on Saturday. “But we are freeing the Iranian people. Please… There are 93 million people in Iran, let them liberate themselves.” The military escalation began when U.S. and Israeli forces launched tomahawk missiles into Iran, prompting Tehran to retaliate with strikes on American bases across the Middle East, including in Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE. Trump has warned that U.S. casualties are possible, though the full extent remains unclear. Carlson’s public rupture suggests the president’s decision to plunge the U.S. into a major war with Iran could carry legacy-altering political consequences.
