Civil war: Trump’s social media manager and Tucker Carlson clobber major MAGA figure

MAGA influencer and podcaster Tucker Carlson was happy to laud the hard feelings between President Donald Trump’s digital media manager Alex Bruesewitz and ultra conservative columnist and Fox News pundit Mark Levin on his Friday podcast.

In addition to discussions topics about how hard the nation appears to “discriminate” against white people and foreign influences on social media, Bruesewitz and Carlson eventually got around to the topic of Levin, who has criticized Trump’s disastrous invasion of Iran as well as a few other Trump policy disagreements.

“Mark Levin hates Trump. He's always hated Trump, has worked against Trump openly for a decade. And then Trump does something that he agrees with and he's [suddenly] the gatekeeper and Trump's best friend,” said Carlson. “Now he hates Trump again and he's attacking Trump. How long does Trump continue to be friends with this guy?”

Carlson himself has roundly criticized Trump’s invasion of Iran and warned that the invasion could escalate into a major world war if Trump followed through on his threat to annihilate Iranian civilization. But this discussion was about Levine.

Bruesewitz pointed out that Levin is “trying to get me fired, by the way,” before claiming Trump is “unique” in that he can handle when people criticize him,” in blatant contradiction to facts.

“Oh, he can? … He doesn't think they’re ‘low IQ crazy people’? Carlson demanded incredulously, referring to Trump’s insult of Carlson’s own criticism a matter of weeks ago over Iran.

“Only some,” Bruesewitz admitted, before going on to describe Levin as “part of the Republican Party that has been left in the past.”

“They are desperately trying to remain relevant and they use conflicts, whether it's in the Middle East … for example or the conflict in Ukraine. They use these issues to have a little relevance to maintain their presences on Fox News. But the people aren’t with him and you see that in polling. You see 60-something percent of Americans support [Trump’s] MOU [ending the Iran war]. You look at Mark Levin's twitter feed he acts like everybody's against it. Nobody’s against it except for Mark and his friends, who are probably coordinating in their messaging and talking points.”

“I always try to remind myself Mark Levin is not a player in any affairs, global or local,” Carlson said in agreement. “He's irrelevant and his job is, like, to make me mad and suck me into his fantasy world and I should just ignore this and you clearly already figured that out.”

“Don't take the bait,” Bruesewitz advised.
