US donald trump Iran tucker carlson
People are finding themselves through the looking-glass as Tucker Carlson finally turns on Donald Trump – 19 perplexed reactions
As you’ll know by now, Donald Trump did not bomb Iran ‘back to the stone ages [sic]’, and has apparently agreed to a ceasefire.
2 week ceasefire:

His threats to obliterate the country had led to a great number of Democrats calling for him to be impeached, arrested or removed from office immediately via the virtually toothless 25th Amendment.
The sitting President just called for the end of an entire civilization. It’s time to impeach him.

However, the sheer level of his threats caused several prominent Trump supporters to see him through a whole other lens – or perhaps just without the tangerine-tinted one that had made them sign up to his fan club.
One of those converts was the former Fox News host and rabid Maga cultist, Tucker Carlson.
Tucker Carlson: "It's vile. It begins w/ a promise to use the US military to commit a war crime. Those people who are in direct contact w/ the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, bc this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out'"

Whatever his motive for coming out to bat against his former hero, it made for some uncomfortable feelings for a lot of people used to Carlson being a reliable source of Trump-licking BS.
Here’s how they’ve reacted.

Tucker is just like Joe Rogan. He can close the gate after the horses have escaped with the best of them.

One despicable piece of shit turning on another despicable piece of shit after years really isn't the relief some people think it is.

If Tucker Carlson is on the right side of any question, they the Apocalypse must surely be at hand.

Tucker Carlson is a chaos agent. He doesn’t care about right or wrong. He only wants to get back at his party because he’s no longer a Fox News Golden Boy.

You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Tucker Carlson.
