[Full video below.] Ted Cruz pushed back angrily after a clip from an interview with Tucker Carlson sparked widespread mockery online. In the teaser, Carlson pressed Cruz with the question, “How many people live in Iran, by the way?” When Cruz admitted he didn’t know, Carlson responded with open disbelief, exclaiming, “You don’t know the population of the country you seek to topple?”
The moment escalated into Carlson openly laughing in Cruz’s face, which quickly went viral across social media platforms. One user wrote, “Is it possible to absolutely loathe Tucker Carlson and enjoy ….watching him destroy Ted Cruz at the same time?”
Brian Krassenstein, a political analyst, weighed in on the fallout, interpreting the exchange as further evidence of internal fractures on the political right. He declared the video was a clear indication that “the Republican Party is self-destructing.”
Cruz, attempting to control the narrative, posted on X in response to the uproar. “He released a snippet playing a ‘gotcha’ on the population of Iran,” Cruz wrote in reference to Carlson’s post. “I declined to play that silly game. WATCH the full 2-hr interview, where Tucker ATTACKS Trump, attacks the ‘AIPAC lobby,’ and falsely claims Iran is NOT trying to assassinate Trump.”

Carlson did a classic trick- He got Cruz on a most irrelevant piece of info (how many people live in Iran). Distracts from the actual question, which is “how dangerous is Itsn?”
2 hours long? Bittul Torah.
Time to realize the MAGA-ites are not our friends. If Carlson, Bannon, and Tulsi would have their way, American foreign policy would another 4 years of Obama-Biden
There’s reason why they’re called Tucker Qatarson and Candace Qatarowen. Follow the MAGA-ites Trump supporters Right-wing / Conservative on social media and you’ll learn what antiSemites are.
Tulsi isn’t the same as carlsn and bannon. Furthermore, who cares. Are they the ones making decisions?
Tucker Carlson is like Henry Ford, Charles Lindbergh, and Charles Coughlin, before WWII, who wanted the USA to stay out of the war.
They weren’t the only ones. Everyones darling FDR didn’t want to get invomved. No one was inetersted or cared about the extermination of Jews in Europe. We have to stop making believe we have human allies and trust solely in Hashem. Yes we need to politic, but recognize that everything comes from Hashem.
