‘They’re Not MAGA’: Trump Remarks On Tucker Carlson And Megyn Kelly’s Iran Criticism<\/span><\/p>\n

President Donald Trump delivered a clear message to critics within conservative media circles Monday, asserting that \u2018true\u2019 MAGA supporters back his moves to neutralize the Iranian threat and prevent nuclear proliferation that endangers the U.S. and its allies.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Dismissing pushback from Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly as out of step with America First priorities, Trump emphasized that securing the homeland against rogue regimes like Iran is non-negotiable\u2014no matter the noise from sidelined commentators.<\/p>\n

Tucker Carlson has publicly blamed Israel for pulling the U.S. into conflict with Iran<\/strong>, framing the strikes as unnecessary foreign entanglement rather than a direct defense of American interests.<\/p>\n

Tucker Carlson gives a \u201csuper simple\u201d explanation for why Israel would want to drag America into a hot war with Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to say this, but the United States didn\u2019t make the decision here. Benjamin Netanyahu did.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a recent segment, Carlson stated, \u201cIt\u2019s hard to say this, but the United States didn\u2019t make the decision here. Benjamin Netanyahu did.\u201d He added, \u201cThis happened because Israel wanted it to happen. This is Israel\u2019s war. This is not the United States war.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carlson questioned the long-standing warnings about Iran\u2019s nuclear program<\/strong>, asking, \u201cWhy would Israel want this?<\/strong>\u201d and concluding, \u201cBenjamin Netanyahu said yesterday, Iran\u2019s nuclear program has been on the very verge, \u2018the cusp\u2019 of building and deploying a nuclear weapon.\u201d He dismissed the urgency, saying, \u201cBut if it was really about that, how could this threat have lasted for 40 years?<\/strong>\u201d before claiming the goal is \u201cregional hegemony. Super simple.\u201d<\/p>\n

Megyn Kelly echoed similar sentiments, arguing that U.S. involvement serves foreign interests over domestic ones, especially after American service members were lost in the operation.<\/p>\n

Kelly declared, \u201cNo one should have to die for a foreign country. I don\u2019t think those four service members died for the United States.\u201d She continued, \u201cI think they died for Iran or for Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n

NEW: Megyn Kelly says the US service members who died in the war with Iran died for Iran or Israel, says she thinks the US is fighting Israel’s war.<\/p>\n

“No one should have to die for a foreign country. I don’t think those four service members died for the United States.”<\/p>\n

Emphasizing her view, Kelly said, \u201cOur government\u2019s job is not to look out for Iran or for Israel. It\u2019s to look out for us. And this feels very much to me like it is clearly Israel\u2019s wa<\/strong>r.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Trump addressed the criticism head-on, reaffirming that his actions align with MAGA\u2019s core mission of keeping America safe and strong.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that MAGA is Trump \u2014 MAGA\u2019s not the other two<\/strong>,\u201d Trump said, referring to Kelly and Carlson. \u201cMAGA wants to see our country thrive and be safe. And MAGA loves what I\u2019m doing \u2014 every aspect of it.<\/strong> This is a detour that we have to take in order to keep our country safe and keep other countries safe, frankly.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Carlson specifically, Trump noted, \u201c(Tucker) can say whatever he wants; it has no impact on me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding Kelly, Trump pointed out her past opposition: \u201cMegyn was opposed to me for years when I ran the first time and nothing stopped me. And so, you know, some people are against \u2014 and they always come back. She came all the way back. But now I guess she maybe doesn\u2019t like the idea of this war, but I do because I have to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of the Iranians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump also urged Kelly to \u201cstudy her history book a little bit,\u201d underscoring the historical dangers of appeasing regimes like Iran.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udea8 President Trump torches Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson in new remarks on Monday night:<\/p>\n

“MAGA is Trump \u2014 MAGA’s not the other two,” Trump said in reference to Carlson and Kelly.<\/p>\n

Trump says Carlson \u201ccan say whatever he wants; it has no impact on me.\u201d<\/p>\n

These remarks came amid broader pushback from the administration, with officials like JD Vance and Pete Hegseth clarifying that the operation is not a repeat of endless wars in Iraq or Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

The strikes, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, were based on intelligence indicating imminent Iranian threats, including potential missile strikes on U.S. targets<\/strong>\u2014intelligence that critics including Carlson and Kelly have downplayed without access to classified briefings.<\/p>\n

Debates in conservative media reveal splits on U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding strikes on Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities, with some emphasizing risks of escalation and others focusing on preventing potential threats.<\/p>\n

Critics argue that involvement could draw America into prolonged conflicts, echoing past interventions, while supporters see it as a necessary step to curb nuclear proliferation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the Republican Party approaches midterms, these differing perspectives challenge internal unity, balancing calls for restraint against arguments for decisive action.<\/p>\n

In broader terms, the Iran operation highlights ongoing discussions in U.S. politics about the role of military engagement in maintaining global stability.<\/p>\n
