Carlson has also claimed on multiple occasions Israel strong-armed President <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> into launching the Iran war, including last week when he said the president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/politics\/tucker-carlson-accuses-weak-trump-of-letting-israel-push-him-into-iran-war-not-the-most-powerful-man-in-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was too &#8220;weak&#8221;<\/a> to fight off Israeli Prime Minister <strong>Benjamin Netanyahu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has scoffed at those kind of claims, saying in March, &#8220;If anything, I might\u2019ve forced Israel\u2019s hand.\u201d And he said in June\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/media\/news\/trump-declares-israel-has-no-choice-but-to-accept-any-iran-deal-he-makes-i-call-the-shots\/\">Israel has \u201cno choice\u201d<\/a>\u00a0but to accept whatever deal he cuts with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Posner&#8217;s post was in response to<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EFischberger\/status\/2080601176051990941\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> a clip<\/a> of Carlson saying Republicans who support expanding the U.S.-Israel military alliance should face &#8220;treason trials.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He warned Republicans need to ditch any ties to Carlson ASAP \u2014 even after Carlson announced he was officially done with the GOP recently.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">&#8220;What&#8217;s left is something the GOP will have to reckon with.
