During an interview with Tucker Carlson, Senator Ted Cruz faced scrutiny over his knowledge of Iran while advocating for military intervention. When Carlson asked about Iran's population, Cruz admitted he did not know, prompting Carlson to provide the figure of 92 million. Their exchange revealed Cruz's lack of understanding of the country's ethnic makeup and history, despite calling for the overthrow of its government. This mismatch in knowledge raised questions about Cruz's preparedness to discuss such a serious topic of foreign policy.
"I don't know the population of the country you seek to topple?" Carlson replied. The senator then put the question back to the talking head, which felt like a bad idea.
"You're a senator who is calling for the overthrow of a government and you don't know anything about the country!" Carlson shouted.
