Podcast host Megyn Kelly affirmed Tucker Carlson’s view that the existence of anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States is created by those who support Israel.
Appearing on “Next Up” withMark Halperin, Kelly discussed Carlson’s recent interview with New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro, in which he spoke about his opposition to President Donald Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran.
Carlson argued during theinterviewthat Iran is largely Israel’s problem and that the United States should not have gotten involved.
In conversations with the commander-in-chief, Carlson recounted to the outlet, Trump would often raise the issue of Iran having a nuclear weapon. “To which I said: Well, I’m sort of opposed to nuclear weapons. I don’t want nuclear weapons, I don’t want Israel to have a nuclear weapon, I don’t want anyone to have a nuclear weapon. It doesn’t seem like a good thing. But that’s not the question. The question is: What do you do about it?”
Regarding the decision to go to war,Carlsonsuggested that Trump was overly influenced by people like Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch, Fox News host Sean Hannity, as well as Jewish-Americans like Miriam Adelson and talk show host Mark Levin.
They were “pushing the president to do this and telling him that you will be a figure out of history, you will save and redeem Israel, or something.”
“I think that was the case they were making,” Carlson said.
Kelly repeated his views, calling those who support the war “Israel firsters” that make up a Republican right “faction.”
@HarvardCAPSHarris poll shows supermajority of Americans overwhelmingly back all of Trump’s demands with Iran and say he should “insist on all of these points” and not “settle for less.” At the top of their list? 78% say “Iran must stop executing protesters”!pic.twitter.com/zQogTuShKG
