Tucker Carlson blames Iran war for Republican losses, calls it ‘end of the Trump era’ and Fox News

In a recent podcast appearance, Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host, blamed the Democratic Party's victory in the recent midterm elections on the ongoing conflict with Iran and the failure of the Republican Party to nominate suitable candidates. Carlson termed this a "historic political setback" for the Republican Party, comparing it to the sinking of the Lusitania.

He argued that the war had alienated a significant portion of Trump's voter base, contradicting their expectations. Carlson accused Trump of prioritising Israel's interests over those of the United States, which he believes has led to the end of both the Trump era and the Fox News era. However, the White House strongly rejected Carlson's assessment, calling him a "whiny turncoat" and dismissing his advice on foreign policy.
