For US President Donald Trump, some of the sharpest criticism he’s faced in the early days of the Iran war has come from once-loyal media figures far more accustomed to singing his praises.

Outspoken voices like Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Matt Walsh have recently voiced their dissatisfaction, catching the attention of the White House. In response, the administration has been actively engaging in damage control through social media and interviews.

However, these dissenters represent a small fraction of the media landscape that supports MAGA, as major personalities from Fox News continue to show their unwavering support.

In a pointed critique, Walsh commented on Monday, “We’ve been told that despite supposedly dismantling the entire Iranian regime, this isn’t a war focused on regime change.”

He continued, “While we reportedly destroyed their nuclear capabilities, the action was justified by the very threat of those capabilities. Even though Iran wasn’t actively planning attacks on the US, they might have been, depending on who you ask. Although this isn’t a war to liberate the Iranian people, they might find freedom — or not — depending on who takes control, which is still uncertain. To say the messaging is unclear would be an understatement.”

In response, Leavitt shared a detailed statement on platform X, outlining Trump’s perspective.

She summarized, “In simple terms, the terrorist Iranian regime refused to accept peace.”
