Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) expressed deep concern over what she called coordinated attacks on media personality Tucker Carlson, suggesting the political establishment fears his possible presidential bid.
Greene Defends Tucker Carlson Amid Criticism
On Sunday, Greene posted on X, “If you’re noticing Tucker Carlson being attacked from literally every direction of the political machine.”
She added, “It’s because they are terrified of him running for president. Because he would win and they know it.”
Greene continued, “And that’s why I’m deeply concerned for my friend Tucker Carlson and his family. These people are vicious and evil and will attempt to destroy anyone and everyone that reveals the truth.”
Greene defended Carlson the day after he claimed the Justice Department might charge him as an unregistered foreign agent, according to Mediaite.
Carlson said the alleged targeting stems from his communications with Iranians before the war, which he claimed the CIA discovered by monitoring his text messages.
Carlson CIA Probe And Iran Criticism
On Sunday, Carlson said that the CIA was preparing a criminal referral to the Justice Department over alleged Foreign Agent Act violations for communicating with people in Iran.
The claims followed his condemnation of U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran as “absolutely disgusting,” which put him at odds with President Donald Trump.
Carlson said the CIA accessed his texts to build a “crime report” but denied wrongdoing, insisting he was “not an agent of a foreign power” and had “never taken money” from any foreign government, calling the case “legally… ludicrous.”
Earlier, Carlson condemned President Trump’s support for U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran, calling them “absolutely disgusting and evil,” following a White House visit aimed at maintaining influence.
His criticism highlighted internal political divides as markets tracked the risk of escalation.
