Former President Donald Trump made a striking declaration, asserting that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
His statement quickly drew backlash from key figures within the Republican Party.
“I do not want to see us start blowing up civilian infrastructure. We are not at war with the Iranian people. We are trying to liberate them,” one Republican leader emphasized, underscoring the party’s stance against targeting non-combatants.
Additionally, Texas Representative Nathaniel Moran released a comprehensive statement to clarify his position, making it clear he does not support the annihilation of any civilization.
“I do not support the destruction of a ‘whole civilization’,” Moran stated, distancing himself from Trump’s controversial remarks.
“That is not who we are, and it is not consistent with the principles that have long guided America.”
But perhaps the biggest turnaround is coming from the man who was Trump’s most prominent booster when he first ran for president.
Now Carlson has given a lengthy broadcast highly critical of the president.
He took particular issue with Trump’s foul-mouthed Truth Social post made on Sunday.
“How dare you speak that way on Easter morning to the country?” Carlson said.
“Who do you think you are? You’re tweeting out the f-word on Easter morning.”
Carlson slammed the president for saying he wanted to take Iran’s oil.
“That’s not acceptable for Christians. That’s not acceptable for Americans or any other civilised people,” Carlson said.
“Taking other people’s stuff by force cannot be allowed.
“In a civilised country you can’t steal without penalty. You can’t shoplift, you can’t rob banks. You can’t invade other countries to steal their stuff.”
“Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness,” she said.
“I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.
“Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.Â
“Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace.”
Meanwhile, a senior Democrat has filed articles of impeachment against Trump over his actions in Iran.
“Donald Trump has blown past every requirement to be removed from office. And it’s getting worse,” Connecticut Representative John Larson said.
“His illegal war in Iran is not only driving up prices for American families — it has cost American lives.”
