Briefly

Tucker Carlson Is Not Your Anti-War Ally
"Liberals are delighted by the MAGA titan's opposition to the Iran War. All they're doing is boosting the credibility of an unrepentant, pathologically dishonest, bad-faith bigot."
"If you've spent more than a minute on social media this past week, odds are good that you have noticed an uptick in presumably liberal-leaning media figures online encouraging you to engage with a growing list of MAGA notables."
"The 'entire,' 43-minute-long anti-Iran War monologue of Carlson's April 6th episode is 'worth watching,' former Obama speechwriter-turned-podcaster Jon Favreau told his 1.3 million followers."
"Headquarters Newsroom, the liberal media outlet built from the ignominious remains of Kamala Harris's 2024 campaign, has been similarly enthusiastic whenever MAGA media oprichniks voice rare, and often conspicuously tempered dissatisfaction with the regime's Iranian adventurism."
Liberal media figures are increasingly promoting anti-war sentiments from MAGA personalities, despite their controversial backgrounds. This trend highlights a paradox where liberals find themselves aligning with individuals they typically oppose. Social media platforms are filled with reactions to this unexpected alliance, showcasing a growing acceptance of anti-war rhetoric from figures like Carlson and Owens. The enthusiasm from liberal outlets for these messages raises questions about the implications of endorsing such figures, even when they express dissent against the current administration's policies on Iran.
