Tucker Carlson says Trump ‘complicit’ in Israel strikes

Tucker Carlson has often been treated like a hero by MAGA, but he actually has a long history of being critical of Trump, only buddying up to him when it was good for his brand.  

Carlson has done it again, sounding like he has TDS over the recent strikes by Israel against Iran.  

I Hate Him 

There was a time when Tucker Carlson was a mildly decent journalist, but I never really fell for his schtick after he joined Fox News after a history of working for leftist media outlets and establishing the Daily Caller to lure in conservatives.  

At the height of his popularity, Carlson stuck up for all things Donald Trump, but the reality of the time was that Carlson despised Trump and only saw siding with him as a revenue stream.

For instance, after the 2020 election, Carlson’s texts with a staff member were leaked, where he stated, “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait,” later adding, “I hate him passionately.” 

I am often accused of hating Trump when I call him out, but I don’t hate the man. Having met him on several occasions, I actually found him very likable, but my job is to be fair and consistent, which is why I have and will continue to call him out when I believe he crosses the line.  

Trump Reeks of Corruption 

For some reason, Trump allowed Carlson to again get close to him during the 2024 campaign, but that charade did not last for long, as Carlson recently accused Trump of being corrupt, or, at the very least, stated that he appears to be corrupt.  

Carlson was discussing the recent Trump Organization expansion into the Middle East when he stated, “Well, it seems like corruption, yeah.” 

Oddly enough, the outlet reporting on this story, the New Republican, then reported, “It’s surprising to see Carlson offering criticism of the president, considering how close he is to Trump. He even spoke at a Trump campaign rally in late October, just days before the election.” 

The individual who wrote those words only proved he knows nothing about Carlson and how he has treated Trump over the years.  

Trump Complicit 

Carlson had made a concerning lunge to the dark side in recent months, to the point he now appears to be criticizing the Israel strike against Iran and going after Trump for the attacks.  

In Carlson’s most recent newsletter, he said that Trump was “complicit in the act of war” against Iran, adding, “What happens next will define Donald Trump’s presidency.” 

Anyone with common sense knows that a nuclear Iran immediately makes the world a less safe place, and it simply cannot be permitted to happen. Israel would arguably be the first country to suffer the consequences of such actions, and with Iran walking away from the table with the United States, I fully support its decision to attack Iran’s nuclear sites.  

Carlson has defended Russia in recent months, and now, in a roundabout way, he is defending Iran. Carlson is no conservative, in my opinion, and he surely does not have America’s or our allies' interests at heart. He is finally showing his true colors, and I hope Donald Trump is paying attention.
