Once a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson has fully turned against him over the war in Iran, going as far as to liken Trump to the Antichrist on his eponymous podcast.

“Could there be a spiritual component to this?” Carlson said on The Tucker Carlson Show on Monday. “Is it just a conventional escalation ladder in a badly thought out war … [or] could it be something bigger? Is it possible what you’re watching is a very stealthy yet incredibly effective attack on what, from a Christian perspective, is the true faith: belief in Jesus?”

Carlson went on: “Is it possible that the president sees this in bigger terms? Sees this as the fulfillment of something? An elevation of some higher office beyond president of the United States?”

    I listened to his entire 45 minute rant, and I find it extremely disturbing that I couldn’t disagree with a single thing he said.

    This guy is fucking nuts. But man, he was right on the money with this one.

      He’s not nuts and he’s never been nuts. He’s a grifter who’s always been very capable of saying what his audience wants to hear. This is what Tucker thinks the Republican base wants to hear, not anything to do with truth, lies, sanity or insanity.

        They’re too busy lying about Hasan Piker to notice they’re making friends with Tucker Carlson
