"Senator Elizabeth Warren called the attack 'dangerous and illegal,' saying, "'America First' doesn't mean dragging the United States into another forever war built on lies while ignoring the needs of Americans here at home.""
"Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote on X: "Trump, Vance, Tulsi, and all of us campaigned on no more foreign wars and regime change," adding that this war "does not lower inflation and make cost of living affordable.""
"Tucker Carlson called the joint attack conducted with Israel "absolutely disgusting and evil," representing populist-right sentiment against the military action."
Democratic lawmakers, led by Senator Elizabeth Warren, condemned President Trump's bombing of Iran as dangerous, illegal, and contradicting his campaign pledge to avoid endless foreign conflicts. Warren emphasized that 'America First' should not involve dragging the country into another war built on lies while ignoring domestic needs. Unexpectedly, conservative voices including Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Nick Fuentes also opposed the strikes, arguing they violated campaign promises of no foreign wars and regime change. Greene criticized the administration for failing to address inflation and cost of living. The backlash spans both political spheres, with critics arguing the military action contradicts stated commitments to prioritize America's domestic interests.
