Conservative activist Laura Loomer unleashed a blistering attack on Tucker Carlsons reported visit to the White House on Friday, accusing the right-wing media star of undermining both President Donald Trump and core Republican voters.
According to Mediaite, Punchbowl News reporter Jake Sherman first noted that Carlson was in the West Wing and expected to meet with President Trump on Friday morning, prompting Loomer to erupt on social media. She charged that Every time Tucker Qatarlson visits the White House, GOP voter turnout decreases. Tucker is a virulent Jew hater, a mouthpiece for Islamic jihadists and a Trump hater.
Loomer, a staunch Trump ally who has long criticized what she sees as weak-kneed Republican leadership on national security and Israel, escalated her rhetoric in a follow-up post. Tucker Interviews the President of Iran, she wrote, before adding, Tucker lies and says Iran never tried to assassinate President Trump. Now Tucker is at the White House today. No strikes on Iran as they continue to murder thousands of innocent people.
She warned of political fallout among a key demographic, arguing that the administrations perceived softness toward Tehran could depress support. Looks like the 2 million Iranian American voters will be sitting out in the midterms. They wont be donating either I guess Sad.
Other conservative commentators voiced their own frustration over Carlsons influence and the administrations posture toward Iran. Will we be bombing the Iranian protestors this evening and propping up the regime? wondered Erick Erickson, while Fox News Mark Levin remarked, Looks like Qatar sent its lobbyist back to the White House.
Some critics framed Carlsons presence as a test of President Trumps resolve on antisemitism and foreign policy. So Trump is only empty talk when it comes to opposing antisemitism, suggested Pradheep Shanker. You either walk the walk, or not. He isnt.
National-security-focused conservatives also raised alarms about Carlsons broader agenda and its impact on the America First movement. Tucker is leading an organized effort to undermine the Trump administrations policies with his base, warned Xs AG Hamilton. Hes coordinating with those actively attacking Trump on a daily basis and with foreign enemies. This is the scorpion and the frog. Dont act surprised when they get stung.
