Deadline • • nation
Key Points:
- Former President Donald Trump criticized four prominent right-wing media figures—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones—on Truth Social for opposing his Iran war decision and ceasefire agreement, labeling them as having "low IQs" and running "third rate podcasts."
- Trump accused these figures of being "nut jobs" and troublemakers who have lost their TV platforms and claimed their views contradict the MAGA movement that secured his election victory.
- Since the onset of the Iran conflict, these podcasters have been vocal critics of Trump's approach, with Megyn Kelly calling the ceasefire deal a form of surrender and highlighting divisions within the Republican base.
- In response to Trump's attack, Alex Jones condemned the Iran war as a "total disaster" and advocated for invoking the 25th Amendment, while Candace Owens suggested Trump may be mentally unfit, stating, "It may be time to put Grandpa up in a home."
