President Donald Trump has long relied on a group of loud, high-profile backers, including Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, and Laura Ingraham, as well as prominent figures like Dana White, Bill Ackman, Dave Portnoy, and Matt Walsh, to get his message across and win elections.
However, as he progressed through his second term, Trump gradually began to lose ground among some of his Republican voters and a large portion of his famous allies.
Megyn Kelly, who seems to be having “buyer’s remorse” regarding her support for the president, noted that the administration’s handling or mishandling of the unpopular war in Iran was a breaking point.
The former Fox News host stated on her show that she was no longer convinced the conflict was “worth the sacrifice of American blood and treasure.”
Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson has made a dynamic U-turn by revealing that the current president is “not the Trump he voted for.” Carlson had previously supported his “America First” platform before Trump’s shift toward aggressive foreign interventions.
The former friends turned “Anti-Trumpers” recently teamed up and destroyed Trump, laughing as they shredded his recent personal attacks.
The War On Gold Star Families
Tucker Carlson shredded President Donald Trump on Thursday over his public attacks on Joe Kent. Kent served as Trump’s Director of National Counterterrorism until March, when he resigned in protest of the president’s war on Iran.
A week later, Trump swiped at Kent for remarrying “fairly quickly” after his wife, Shannon Kent, a U.S. intelligence officer, was killed by a suicide bomber in Syria in 2019.
Regarding the loss, the president stated in March: “His wife was killed. He remarried fairly quickly. His wife was killed, and I felt badly for him. He ran for Congress, but he lost. He ran for Congress again, and he lost.”
Tucker Carlson’s Fact-Check On Syria
Speaking to Kelly on a recent episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Carlson noted that Trump had attacked both Kent and Rep. Thomas Massie for remarrying after losing their wives.
Kelly seized on the point, stating: “It’s really unbelievable how the president has attacked, not only Massie’s remarriage after he lost his wife, but Joe Kent’s remarriage four years later, after his wife was killed. I mean, it’s insane.”
Regarding the responsibility for Shannon Kent’s death, the source revealed that Carlson blamed the President directly. Carlson stated:
“And killed by who? Killed by Donald Trump’s administration. Joe Kent’s wife was killed, the mother of his two sons, was killed… by a suicide bomb. What was she doing there? She was sent there by the Trump administration to fight another one of Israel’s wars. So, it’s a decision that Donald Trump made that got Joe Kent’s wife killed. That’s a fact. It’s not an interpretation. It’s a fact.”
Megyn Kelly Delivers A Stunning Reality Check To Trump
Beyond the controversy surrounding Joe Kent, Megyn Kelly recently leveled a scathing attack against Donald Trump over his calls to fire media employees.
This came after the president publicly urged ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel following a roast that targeted the First Lady.
Megyn Kelly humiliated the president’s attempt to exercise control over private media. Kelly stated that the move was a betrayal of the very principles Trump claimed to defend.
On a recent episode of her show, Kelly stated: “The President of the United States should not be calling for any private company to fire any employee, especially over free speech. You can’t decry or cancel culture as a ‘political weapon’ one day and then try to use it to silence a comedian the next just because your feelings are hurt. It’s a total abandonment of the First Amendment when it becomes inconvenient for him.”
A Fractured MAGA Alliance
As more high-profile faces distance themselves from the administration, the source revealed that these scandals and personal insults have created a bottomless pit of shame for the Republican Party.
While the president continues to dismiss his former supporters as “losers,” the team of Kelly and Carlson has signaled that the once-solid MAGA wall has finally crumbled.
