Tucker Carlson slammed Trump’s decision to go ahead with joint U.S.-Israeli operation targeting Iran on Saturday, calling the move “absolutely disgusting and evil” in remarks to journalist Jonathan Karl.
The comments mark a rare and direct rebuke from Carlson, who campaigned for Trump in 2024 and has been one of his most visible media allies. Carlson spoke at the Republican National Convention and has maintained close ties with Vice President JD Vance.
Carlson reportedly met with Trump at the White House last week, where he urged the president not to strike Iran.
Carlson’s criticism comes after a year in which he has conducted interviews and meetings with a range of foreign political figures and commentators who have been sharply critical of U.S. foreign policy, virulently anti-Israel and antisemitic, as well as Holocaust deniers.
Carlson has increasingly used his platform to argue against what he describes as regime-change wars and U.S. intervention in the Middle East, positions that align with a segment of Trump’s base.
Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, another anti-Israel stooge, also criticized the strike, writing that voters had supported Trump in part to avoid “never ending pointless foreign wars.”

You can disagree with her politics, but why the juvenile name-calling her a “stooge”? She’s entitled to her opinion on the political aspects of this, just as you are. Stop the childish nonsense.
These Iranians, Mr. Tucker, kill your fellow Christians. Maybe now you’ll agree unless your hatred for Jews and Israel is so outstandingly bigoted that you still will go for the critcizing the strike!
I can understand his fury where’s he going to get his million dollar payout Oh well there’s still
Russia and china
Yuck what a disgusting person!
May he be humiliated by the outcome
HaKatan,
Stop being a stooge for MTG
antisemitism is a disease that rots the brain.
It’s not childish to call people out.
Especially people who are being insufferable. Another way to hold them accountable is to call them out with names.
It takes away their power and brings home how foolish they are being.
No need to call people stooges. We’re all capable of forming our own opinions.

It’s about the writing here, not about her.
The plain fact is that she is a stooge. She’s never had an original thought in her life. When she was on our side she was also a stooge, but for good. Now she’s a stooge for evil.
But she never did tweet about “Jewish space lasers”. That was a Democrat parody.
