Tucker Carlson Slams Lindsey Graham and John Cornyn as ‘F*cking Lunatics’ for Wanting to Bomb Iran
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson rejected calls by GOP lawmakers to bomb Iran in retaliation for the drone attack that killed 3 U.S. servicemen in Jordan.
On Sunday, President Joe Biden and the Pentagon broke the news about a deadly strike that Iranian proxy forces launched against a U.S. base in Jordan near the country’s border with Syria. At least 25 others were injured in the attack, and as the development renews concerns about escalation in the Middle East, critics are coming forward to slam the Biden administration for allowing this to happen.
Some of this Biden White House criticism came from Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who affirmed his hawkish stance by getting on X (formerly Twitter) to say “Hit Iran now. Hit them hard.”
Hit Iran now. Hit them hard.

Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) was also in favor of an aggressive and direct response against Iran:

Carlson was clearly not on board with that plan — deriding Graham and Cornyn as “f*cking lunatics.”
