Tucker tells Ted Cruz he's acting like a "sleazy feline"

Ted Cruz calls Tucker an anti-Semite.

“Ted Cruz
and Tucker Carlson's blowup exposes MAGA's divide on war with Iran”

“Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and conservative talk show host Tucker Carlson got into a contentious argument over America's role in the escalating war between Israel and Iran during an interview released Wednesday.

The big picture: While the Trump administration has denied U.S. involvement in Israel's offensive operations, the prospect of America joining Israel's attacks has driven a wedge between the isolationist and pro-Israel wings of the MAGA coalition.
The conversation soured when Cruz claimed "we are carrying out military strikes today."
Pressed by Carlson on whether it's the U.S. or Israel leading the strikes, Cruz said the U.S. was "supporting" Israel.
"This is high stakes," Carlson responded. "You're a senator. If you're saying the United States government is at war with Iran right now, people are listening.” https://www.axios.com/2025/06/18/ted-cruz-tucker-carlson-iran-interview

Weird bibical argument followed after Cruz said he entered the Senate in 2013 with the intention to be “the leading defendant of Israel”

Apparently they all hate cats???

Well, in the battle of these two mega league "deplorables," it is hard to find one less so than the other. Both make my skin crawl. Still, I enjoyed seeing Tucker make Cruz squirm.
