"Someone talked him into it, and those people should be held to account,” Kelly said.

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly ripped into some of the most vocal supporters of Donald Trump’s war in Iran, listing the names of people she said pushed him into the conflict.

“Stop with that ‘it’s President Trump’s decision.’ I’m aware, but someone talked him into it, and those people should be held to account,” Kelly said on Friday’s episode of her show. “As this thing goes south, we need to know exactly who talked him into it, and what representations were made to convince the president that this was a good idea. Who? Who, specifically?”

The podcaster is one of a few conservative personalities, including Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, who have publicly opposed Trump’s war. An NBC News poll from earlier this month revealed that 90% of self-identified MAGA-aligned Republican voters support the war, while a majority of voters overall oppose it.

    I agree with you, but that’s 77 million people. How are you gonna hold them responsible? And I ask sincerely, because something’s gotta be done with those assholes. I’d accept them just learning from their mistakes and changing their behavior, but, man, I do not see that happening. I hope it does. I hope to god it does, but I’d be lying if I said I was optimistic about it. And if they won’t listen to reason, like, what can we do?

      …indoctrinated masses are the intended and natural result of their propaganda machine; you don’t redress readily-manipulated people by punishing or culling them, you do so by snuffing their propaganda and educating the population…

      …the elephant in the room is freedom of communication…

        I certainly didn’t mean to imply that we should do that. I definitely don’t think we should.

        you do so by snuffing their propaganda and educating the population…

        Yeah, but education can’t be imposed on people. Not without violence and repression, anyway. They have to be willing to learn, and the Trump supporters I know are some of the most defiantly, proudly ignorant and misinformed people I ever known.

        But maybe the right leader could change that. I don’t know.
