If you haven’t been paying attention to Tucker Carlson, this segment where he tears into John Bolton and potential military action against Iran may have surprised you, but it’s not really surprising:

For the 2nd time in a week, Tucker Carlson is the voice of reason on Fox News.

That’s right, Tucker Carlson. “More than anything in the world, national security advisor John Bolton would love to have a war with Iran…Mercifully, John Bolton does not control the military.” pic.twitter.com/GLa4ylRfG0 — Marcus Baram (@mbaram) May 15, 2019

The “voice of reason on Fox News” has been pretty consistent on this. From last year, for example:

Let's review. Trump ran promising to improve relations w/ Russia…voters agreed. But permanent DC hated the idea. They’ve been pushing war w/ Iran for yrs.

And from 2017:

But now we’re in “bizarro world”?

In the bizarro world we live in @TuckerCarlson is the only anchor on cable forcefully advocating for peace. While @MSNBC dutifully beats the drums of war, Carlson is pointing out the obvious – war with Iran would be an epic disaster. When Tucker is more progressive than you … — Cenk Uygur (@cenkuygur) May 15, 2019

So, did President Trump watch?

I wonder if Trump, who reportedly watches Tucker Carlson, caught tonight’s episode —> “More than anything in the world, John Bolton would love to have a war with Iran. It will be like Christmas, Thanksgiving, his birthday wrapped into one,” said Carlson https://t.co/oUv7W66tMA — John Hudson (@John_Hudson) May 15, 2019
