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 do. In fact, I have very little forgiveness for anyone who was stupid or shitty enough to even vote for him in 16. Pretty much anyone who has voted republican since the tea party got loud gets no respect from me. What happened, and is still happening, in Gaza, as well as the international response to it, is disgusting and shameful to our entire species. But one could make the case that standing impotently by while a country you support commits atrocities is still different from jumping in at the start to commit those atricites yourself on behalf of that country.
