The US right wing can forgive Trump for anything – except his deeply unpopular war
AI Summary
Donald Trump's decision to engage in military action against Iran has caused a rift among some of his right-wing supporters. Joe Kent, a former Trump-supporting counter-terrorism chief, resigned in protest, citing a lack of imminent threat from Iran and pressure from Israel. Prominent right-wing figures like Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Steve Bannon, and Matt Walsh have also expressed skepticism about the conflict. Trump defended his actions, claiming Iran posed a threat, while the White House asserted evidence of an impending Iranian attack. Despite the criticism from some allies, few elected Republicans have publicly opposed Trump's actions, with Rand Paul being a notable exception in the Senate.
