Marjorie Taylor Greene Goes to Bat for Tucker Carlson, Says He’s Really Cool and Popular

Marjorie Taylor Greene took a second on Monday evening to shield Tucker Carlson after Donald Trump referred to as the previous Fox News host “kooky” for criticizing the president’s give a boost to of Israel’s assaults on Iran. Yes, it’s an actual Mad Libs From Hell second.

Following a Truth Social submit by which Trump wrote, “Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that, ‘IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!’” Greene took to X to inform her fans: “Tucker Carlson is one of my favorite people. He fiercely loves his wife, children, and our country. Since being fired by the neocon network Fox News, he has more popularity and viewers than ever before. He unapologetically believes the same things I do. That if we don’t fight for our own country and our own people then we will no longer have a country for our children and our grandchildren. And foreign wars/intervention/regime change put America last, kill innocent people, are making us broke, and will ultimately lead to our destruction. That’s not kooky. That’s what millions of Americans voted for. It’s what we believe is America First.”

Greene’s protection of Carlson got here sooner or later after she declared that “everyone is finding out who are real America First/MAGA and who were fake,” and that “anyone slobbering for the U.S. to become fully involved in the Israel/Iran war is not America First/MAGA,” a declare showing to signify that Donald Trump isn’t an actual MAGA man given his present take at the scenario.

Going in opposition to Trump isn’t the one unexpected factor the Georgia congresswoman did the day past. She additionally claimed throughout an interview with disgraced former consultant grew to become cable-news host Matt Gaetz that Fox News has “brainwashed” Americans into supporting warfare with Iran. “We’ve watched for decades propaganda news,” Greene stated throughout her look on The Matt Gaetz Show. “I’ll call out Fox News and the New York Post. They’re known to be the neocon network news. We have propaganda news on our side just like the left does, and the American people have been brainwashed into believing that America has to engage in these foreign wars in order for us to survive, and it’s absolutely not true.” Carlson had in a similar way harsh phrases for his former longtime employer, telling Steve Bannon: “What they’re doing is what they always do, which is just turning up the propaganda hose to full blast and just trying to, you know, knock elderly Fox viewers off their feet and make them submit.” (He didn’t say if he engaged in spreading propaganda throughout his 14 years on the community, however it kind of feels he would possibly have!)

Greene’s and Carlson’s hostility towards Trump has no longer long gone over smartly with sure individuals of MAGA country. Conspiracy theorist and Oval Office visitor Laura Loomer, as an example, referred to as for her fans to submit screenshots of Republicans’ contemporary damaging feedback about Trump, writing “I have most of them. But I don’t want to miss any.”
