"It just seems so insane based on what he ran on. I mean, this is why a lot of people feel betrayed, right? He ran on 'No more wars, end these stupid, senseless wars,' and then we have one that we can't even really clearly define why we did it."
"Tucker Carlson reportedly personally lobbied Trump against going to war. Ann Coulter posted on X, saying the war 'does not make one American safer.' Matt Walsh said on social media that the conflict's messaging is 'to put it mildly, confused.'"
"We've got seven U.S. personnel dead. We've got a girls school-175 young girls dead, in Iran."
President Trump's military actions in Iran have created a rift between his administration and influential right-wing media personalities who previously supported him. Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Ann Coulter, Matt Walsh, and Megyn Kelly have publicly criticized the war, citing contradictions with Trump's 2024 campaign promise to end endless wars. Rogan specifically highlighted the hypocrisy, noting Trump ran on ending senseless conflicts yet initiated one without clear justification. Carlson reportedly lobbied Trump against military action, while Coulter and Kelly emphasized humanitarian concerns and lack of security benefits. Trump has responded by questioning whether these critics are truly aligned with the MAGA movement, dismissing their opposition as evidence of insufficient loyalty to his political agenda.
