Maga media stars back Trump on Venezuela … mostly: ‘It doesn’t make any sense’

AI Summary

long article 6 min

Following President Trump's military action in Venezuela, including the abduction of President Maduro, most of his allies in conservative media have offered strong support, despite Trump's earlier pledges to avoid foreign conflicts. Prominent figures like Mark Levin and Sean Hannity have championed Trump's actions, even promoting a doctrine of US dominance in the Western hemisphere. Ben Shapiro criticized those on the right who oppose the intervention. While most MAGA media figures have fallen in line, some, like Tucker Carlson, have expressed cautious reservations, particularly regarding the extent of the intervention and the decision to back Maduro's former vice-president. The situation highlights a complex dynamic between Trump and his media supporters regarding foreign policy.
