Bannon rips Levin after ‘POS' remark
Former White House aide and commentator Steve Bannon ripped into Fox News host Mark Levin this week as the two continue to trade barbs over the U.S. military's involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran. 'Boy, Tel Aviv Levin's big mad,' Bannon said of Levin during an episode of his popular 'War Room' podcast. 'He's big mad as a spokesmodel for a foreign nation that didn't get them what they want.' The MAGA firebrand was referring to a social media post by Levin earlier this week that called Bannon 'a disgusting fraud,' over his time serving as a top aide to President Trump. 'You opposed our great military and commander in chief at a time when they acted to destroy Iran's nukes,' Levin wrote on social platform X, referring to the former Trump advisor. 'You and your tiny cabal of lunatics gave aide and comfort to the enemy,' he continued in the post. 'Now you prance around like you support our country rather than apologize for your outrageous disloyalty.' Levin is a leading voice on the right advocating for stronger military action against Iran and has used his weekend Fox News show to urge Trump to intervene in the conflict. Bannon, along with former Fox pundit Tucker Carlson, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) and others on the right, have argued a more isolationist point of view, warning so-called 'neo-cons' are trying to drag the U.S. into another Middle East war. Trump over the weekend authorized the U.S. military to launch strikes on three nuclear facilities near Tehran. Support among the president's allies has been largely split over the move, but Bannon signaled earlier this month that most would 'get on board' if the U.S. did intervene.

Greene rips ‘screeching' Levin, Fox News
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) ripped Fox News, conservative pundit Mark Levin and others on the right she says are rooting for the U.S. to escalate the conflict in the Middle East. 'Mark Levin, obviously, he was a Never Trumper from the beginning. He hated Donald Trump. He was totally against him and tried to stop him from becoming president, but yet now somehow Mark Levin is the voice of MAGA? I don't think so,' Greene said during an appearance on former Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) show on One America News Network. 'We're MAGA. We're the voice of MAGA, and the people totally agree with us. So, you know, it doesn't matter what Mark Levin actually has to say,' she added in remarks first highlighted by Mediaite. The Georgia Republican continued, saying Levin's 'screeching' is 'unbearable' and adding, 'I think Fox News needs to reel him in, although I won't expect much out of them.' Greene is one of several Trump-loyal figures who has repeatedly attacked 'neo-cons' who argue the U.S. should play a bigger role in helping Israel fight its ongoing war with Iran. The Republican cited pundit Tucker Carlson, former White House aide Steve Bannon and others she says are more accurately representing the views of the president's followers on potential foreign wars. Levin hosts a Sunday evening program on Fox and is known for his fiery monologues, which often feature him raising his voice and admonishing Democrats, the media and others who oppose Trump.

Tucker Carlson: Trump ‘complicit' in Israel's strikes on Iran
Political pundit Tucker Carlson is criticizing President Trump, saying he is 'complicit' in Israel's attack on Iran this week and warning the escalating conflict between the two nations could lead the U.S. into war. Carlson, as part of his morning newsletter on Friday, said Trump was 'complicit in the act of war,' noting the U.S. longstanding alliance with Israel, which attacked several military targets in Iran overnight Thursday and killed top Iranian military leaders — leading to fears of an all out war between the two nations. 'What happens next with define Donald Trump's presidency,' Carlson wrote in his newsletter, which was highlighted by several media outlets on Friday. Carlson has been a longtime media ally of the president, sitting with the nominee at the Republican National Convention last summer and hosting him as part of speaking tour during the 2024 election. The former Fox News host is known for his firebrand commentary on politics and culture, and has for years been a vocal critic of so-called 'neo-cons' he argues have dragged the U.S. into unnecessary wars in the Middle East and elsewhere. He has in recent weeks sparred with other conservative commentators who have urged Trump to take a tougher stance on Iran. Carlson is among the president's favorite right-wing pundits, and Trump has praised him publicly both while he was at Fox and after he left the network in 2022.
