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.
Follow this same logic and apply it to the 2020 election and the Palestinian genocide and I’m on board with you.
At the end of the day. All Americans are responsible for the crimes of this country regardless of who you voted for. We all allow the war machine to keep bombing brown kids thousands of miles away and have the nerve to call ourselves a “Democracy” and start to care about the crimes of the president only when we can use it to distance ourselves from them. “I didn’t vote for them” becomes “Israel has a right to defend itself” or “Iran actually was gonna nuke us” when the guy you voted for is in office.
But, go ahead, explain to me how much worse Iran is than Gaza. How the war machine doesn’t keep on pumping no matter who you vote for. Is it because gas prices didn’t go up during THAT slaughter of children?
Edit: Lots of downvotes with no responses. Sorry reality made you feel bad.
