‘Absolutely disgusting and evil’: Tucker Carlson goes scorched earth on Trump for attacking Iran
PALM BEACH, Florida – Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News anchor who has been extremely critical of Israel in recent months, is reportedly going scorched earth against President Trump in the wake of Operation Epic Fury as the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran to completely destroy its nuclear weapon capabilities.
In a video posted on social media, ABC News anchor Jonathan Karl said he reached out to Carlson for comment on the military action.
“He told me of the president’s decision is ‘absolutely disgusting and evil.’ This is Tucker Carlson who was at the White House just last week, said that the decision to go to war with Iran is absolutely disgusting and evil,” Karl explained.
“Now that’s just one person, a prominent one in Trump’s movement. But this is a momentous and potentially defining or maybe redefining move for President Trump. He got in to politics, in part, promising to end what he called ‘forever wars.’ He [Trump] was harshly critical of the war with Iraq. He claimed that he had always been against it. And now he finds himself starting what could be a major conflict with Iran.”

Fox News anchor Mark Levin called Carlson a “deranged traitor” in reaction to his remarks.
“For now I’ll say he’s a disgusting Woke Reich lowlife. He trashes our country and president in the middle of a military campaign against an enemy that has murdered over 1,000 Americans and maimed thousands more.”

“This bum has pranced around the Middle East giving aid and comfort to our enemies. And today he’s stabbing the president in the back and smearing our nation. He lies and propagandizes, and spews his cancerous bigotry, anti-Semitism, and Christian-trashing. Even Qatar is condemning Iran. But not Carlson. He attacks his own country. You’ve every reason to despise him.”
I’ll deal with this deranged traitor, Tucker Carlson, more fully later. For now I’ll say he’s a disgusting Woke Reich lowlife. He trashes our country and president in the middle of a military campaign against an enemy that has murdered over 1000 Americans and maimed thousands…

Former Republican Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a previous staunch ally of Trump, also slammed the president for the strike on Iran.
“We said ‘No More Foreign Wars, No More Regime Change!’ We said it on rally stage after rally stage, speech after speech. Trump, Vance, basically the entire admin campaigned on it and promised to put America FIRST and Make America Great Again.”
“My generation has been let down, abused, and used by our government our entire adult lives and our children’s generation is literally being abandoned. Thousands and thousands of Americans from my generation have been killed and injured in never ending pointless foreign wars and we said no more. But we are freeing the Iranian people. Please.
I did not campaign for this.
I did not donate money for this.
I did not vote for this, in elections or Congress.
This is heartbreaking and tragic.
And how many more innocent will die?
What about our own military?
This is not what we thought MAGA was supposed to be.
Shame! https://t.co/qX6TKIUAMZ— Marjorie Taylor Greene (@mtgreenee) February 28, 2026
“There are 93 million people in Iran, let them liberate themselves. But Iran is on the verge of having nuclear weapons. Yeah sure. We have been spoon fed that line for decades and Trump told us all that his bombing this past summer completely wiped it all out. It’s always a lie and it’s always America Last. But it feels like the worst betrayal this time because it comes from the very man and the admin who we all believed was different and said no more.”
