Fox News Host Mark Levin Calls Tucker Carlson ‘Happy Hooker Of Politics,’ Showing Deeper Rift In MAGA Over Iran War

The feud between Fox News’ Mark Levin and media personality Tucker Carlson escalated this week, after Levin referred to his former colleague as “the Happy Hooker of politics” in a post to social media.

Levin and Carlson have recently clashed over whether the United States should get more involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran. The dispute intensified after former President Donald Trump ordered airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, prompting a series of sharp exchanges between the two.

After Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran following the strikes, Carlson praised the move, consistent with his long-standing opposition to U.S. involvement in the conflict.

“Thank God Trump brokered a ceasefire. That’s the last thing Mark Levin wanted,” said Carlson in a post to social media.

Levin, who has urged the U.S. to target Iran and stop their nuclear program, responded to Carlson in a long post on social media.

“What’s left to say about Chatsworth Qatarlson [Carlson] that he hasn’t already said about himself,” Levin wrote. “He has had more positions on Iran and Israel than you can count — the Happy Hooker of politics — but has wound up supporting a terrorist regime that has murdered and maimed thousands of Americans. His preposterously hysterical warnings about what would happen if the president acted militarily against Iran’s nuclear sites were illustrative of his unhinged bravado. He uses his platform to promote antisemitism, former KGB colonel and mass murderer Putin, the Qatar terror regime that was behind 9/11, trash Winston Churchill — one of the world’s greatest defenders of democracy against one of the world’s greatest mass murders Adolph [sic] Hitler, rewrite American history to condemn America, and the long list goes on. It’s all public. He’s very proud of his depraved insanity. Qatarlson has been a liberal, a libertarian, an actual neo-con, a conservative, and today just a simple reprobate who has much in common with Bernie Sanders and Rashida Tlaib.”

Levin then accused Carlson of having a long-standing hatred of Trump, adding that “the public record is soaked in his contempt for Donald Trump.”

Carlson has consistently called out the president, often leading him to clash with other conservatives.

During the Fox News-Dominion Voting Systems defamation trial, Carlson’s text messages were leaked in which he seemingly celebrated Trump’s loss in the 2020 election.

“I hate him [Trump] passionately,” said Carlson in a text message.

The ceasefire between Israel and Iran was short-lived as the violence continued no more than 24 hours later, which Levin used to once again criticize Carlson.

“In the end, he prominently thanked Qatar for mediating a ceasefire, that was broken in less than 24-hours by Qatar’s ally, Iran,” said Levin in the same post.
