Tucker Carlson: Trump voters chose him to prevent war with Iran, got the same result

Primary source Internal intake · 2 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 22:38–23:55

TL;DR

Tucker Carlson told Sky News that voters chose Donald Trump precisely to prevent war with Iran, yet ended up with the same outcome they would have had under Joe Biden or any Democratic leader, according to the interview. Carlson said he stood next to Trump as the president said on the campaign trail that voting for Biden, Harris, or any other 'puppet' of the ruling class meant war in the Middle East and endless wars — and that the public ultimately got exactly that.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host, told Sky News in an interview that voters who supported Donald Trump in the presidential election chose him specifically to avoid a war with Iran, yet ended up with the same outcome they would have faced under a Democratic administration. According to Carlson, he was standing beside Trump when the then-candidate said on the campaign trail that voting for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or any 'other puppet the ruling class puts up' meant war in the Middle East and endless wars. The public, Carlson argued, ultimately got exactly that. The comments come amid an ongoing U.S. air campaign against Iran and a broader diplomatic push by the administration. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Trump himself has characterized the outcome of the war with Iran as an unconditional surrender and a success, while also criticizing hawks who 'always want assassinations.' Carlson's interview adds a critical voice from the conservative spectrum, suggesting the president's policy outcome has diverged from the promise he made during the campaign.
