Former Fox News personality and conservative political pundit Tucker Carlson joined US journalist Emily Jashinsky for the premiere episode of her show “After Party” to discuss Donald Trump’s ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran and much more. US Senator Ted Cruz and Fox News host Mark Levin, who recently butted heads with Carlson on his own weekly self-titled podcast, were also brought up during the interaction.

But an even more noticeable mention was that of Trump ally Laura Loomer. Carlson himself emerged as one of the most critical MAGA voices to speak up against US intervention in the Israel-Iran conflict. And so, he recently became a prime target of the far-right conspiracy theorist, who called on her social media followers to “take screenshots of every single right winger who is s–t talking Trump right now.”

MAGA civil war explained

Carlson previously even accused the POTUS of being “complicit in the act of war” as he remained more focussed on the Republican leader’s ‘America First’ agenda — much like other MAGA isolationists (although Carlson shuns that title) like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Steve Bannon. Loomer soon came after him, directly accusing him of posing as a Trump supporter. “Can we stop pretending like @TuckerCarlson is a true Trump supporter?” she wrote on X over a week ago.

The MAGA civil war further exacerbated when Loomer dropped the F-bomb against him, responding to a user asking her to apologise to Carlson. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry I don’t have the opportunity today to tell you to f–k off to your face and call you out for letting your mouth serve as a c–k warmer for Arabs. I’m sorry I can’t say F–k You to your face for the way you undermine President Trump,” she tweeted on Friday (IST).

Tucker Carlson unloads on Ted Cruz, Mark Levin and Laura Loomer

Tucker’s outburst on Emily Jashinsky’s show this week then presumably follows up on the same divide tearing the fellow MAGA personalities apart. Their conversation surfaced on the Internet hot on the heels of Trump claiming a “complete and total CEASEFIRE” had been achieved between Israel and Iran. Carlson also instantly shifted gears from being critical of the president to thanking him for “brokering a ceasefire.”

Claiming that people Levin don’t care about the United States and are just interested in “wearing the Trump skinsuit because they think it suits their purposes.” He went on to say that such individuals actually hate the president and are anti-Trump. Although his initial statements largely targeted his former Fox News colleagues, saving the nastiest comments for Loomer.

Calling her “the world’s creepiest human,” Tucker Carlson said, “I don’t even know where she came from or who she is but she’s running around saying, ‘I’m Donald Trump’s defender.’ It’s bizarre.”

Laura Loomer reacts to Tucker Carlson’s comments

Now that it was Loomer’s turn, she turned to her social media page to drop receipts proving that Carlson knew exactly who she was. Quoting him, she wrote on X, “I have no idea who Laura Loomer is,” while also attaching a screenshot of a chat between herself and the one she is currently clashing with.

“Thanks a million, Laura. I appreciate this,” Tucker wrote in the alleged text chain dated May 1, 2023. “There’s some level of chaos, but I feel weirdly happy. Hope you’re great.” Loomer ‘hearted’ the message. While it’s unclear whether that was the last such conversation they ever had, it certainly wasn’t the first message they’d exchanged over the phone.

In yet another post, she accused Carlson of lying about not knowing her. “His cell is in my phone (laughing emojis). He also said I’m the ‘world’s creepiest human.’ This coming from a grown man who claims he was attacked in his bed by a demon @ left with bloody claw scars. We have never seen the ‘scars.'” Sharing the same screenshot again, she said, Carlson “just can’t handle being called out for his lies.”

In yet another follow-up comment she indirectly alluded to Tucker Carlson’s “meltdown” a result of people ruining “their reputations this week.” She added, “Many people will never get invited back to the White House ever again. Now they are lashing out tonight having meltdowns to cope with the fact that they were wrong.”
