Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly ripped into some of the most vocal supporters of Donald Trump’s war in Iran, listing the names of people she said pushed him into the conflict.

“Stop with that ‘it’s President Trump’s decision.’ I’m aware, but someone talked him into it, and those people should be held to account,” Kelly said on Friday’s episode of her show. “As this thing goes south, we need to know exactly who talked him into it, and what representations were made to convince the president that this was a good idea. Who? Who, specifically?”

The podcaster is one of a few conservative personalities, including Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, who have publicly opposed Trump’s war. An NBC News poll from earlier this month revealed that 90% of self-identified MAGA-aligned Republican voters support the war, while a majority of voters overall oppose it.

    This war has been bipartisan policy for 40 years. Trump is the symptom, not the disease.

      Not sure about it being bipartisan but Republicans have been pushing for this war since Regan. Be it the time Regan’s admiration sunk the entire Iranian navy, to whether Bush administration wanted to put them on the same level as North Korea, to John McCain singing the bomb Iran song during his presidential bid you can see it everywhere. Democrats probably wouldn’t oppose it, as we can kind of see, but they haven’t shown much spine for any decision popular or unpopular for decades now.
