The U.S. airstrikes in Syria were a test for all Trump supporters who stood against intervening in another meaningless war in the Middle East. However, a consistent pattern we’re witnessing in the news media — unlike many personalities and hosts — is that you can’t cuck the Tuck.
On Wednesday night’s edition of Fox News’ ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight,’ Carlson questioned Democrats who are now in favor of Middle East intervention. After once being supportive of the 2003 Iraq war, Carlson appears to have learned his lesson.

“Do you remember when Democrats were anti-war?” Carlson said. “They were the anti-war party. They sang songs about it, wore T-shirts, held concerts, flashed countless peace signs. That was then though.”
He continued by bringing up how Democrats are attacking Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI). “Democrats are now the reflexive party of war — all wars, except those with an obvious benefit to us here in the United States. If there is a humanitarian quagmire on the other side of the globe, they’re all for committing troops. And you better be warned, too, or they will denounce you. Don’t believe it? Ask Tulsi Gabbard.”
Carlson described Gabbard’s background being an Iraq war veteran and her staunch opposition to intervering in the Middle East via Syria.
“She has consistently warned against intervening in Syria. She says it serves no U.S. interests, will likely empower terror groups and it could dramatically increase the suffering of civilians there. You might not agree with her point of view, but you cannot call her positions crazy because they are not crazy.”
Gabbard has received immense criticism from her own party when former DNC Chair Howard Dean called her a “disgrace” and Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden called for her to resign from Congress.
