AOC is playing politics right now but will MAGA fall for it?
Washington, D.C. – In a shocking political twist, progressive Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has joined forces with conservative Republican Thomas Massie to oppose U.S. military involvement in the growing conflict between Israel and Iran.
This comes as the Middle East crisis continues to reshape American politics, dividing traditional party lines and even fracturing the MAGA movement.
Trump Faces Pressure From Both Sides on Israel-Iran War
President Donald Trump, known for his bold America First foreign policy, is now walking a political tightrope. Pro-Israel voices are urging stronger U.S. support, while populist conservatives and non-interventionists warn of another endless war.
Trump initially hesitated but later expressed strong support for Israel’s military strikes. That shift drew backlash—not from the left, but from inside his own base.
Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon Warn: “Don’t Drag Us Into Another War”
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and ex-White House strategist Steve Bannon are leading the conservative charge against U.S. involvement.
Carlson warned, “We’re weakening America for someone else’s fight.” He accused Fox News of manipulating viewers, calling out Sean Hannity and Mark Levin by name.
Bannon went further, accusing Rupert Murdoch’s empire of stoking war and betraying the America First agenda. Both men are urging Trump to resist pressure from pro-war insiders.
Trump Responds: Shrugs Off Carlson Criticism
While speaking at the G7 in Canada, President Trump downplayed the backlash. “Let Tucker go buy a network,” he quipped. He later referred to Carlson online as “kooky,” signaling his growing frustration with MAGA dissent.
Thomas Massie, AOC Introduce Resolution to Block Military Action
In Congress, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced a War Powers Resolution to halt unauthorized military action. Surprisingly, AOC signed on, stating bluntly: “Signing on.”
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) echoed concerns: “The same neocons who sold us Iraq are back at it.” He urged Trump not to fall into the same trap.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Cautions: “We Voted For America First”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) issued a spiritual warning: “Pray we’re not attacked after years of open borders.” While a strong Trump supporter, she urged caution and demanded real evidence before launching U.S. strikes.
Former Rep. Matt Gaetz added: “This isn’t 2003. We’re not falling for another lie.”
Democrats Push Back on Israel, Demand Restraint
On the left, Senator Bernie Sanders called Israel’s actions “reckless and illegal”, introducing a No War Against Iran Act. He was joined by Elizabeth Warren and Senator Chris Murphy, all emphasizing that only Congress has the power to declare war.
Still, top Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries remain silent, even though Schumer previously supported similar resolutions.
Conservative Base Rejects War: “Fix America First”
Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, summed up the mood: “Our people don’t want war. They want Trump fixing America.” This reflects a deep split in the MAGA movement between those who support military engagement and those demanding restraint.
Establishment Pushes for Escalation: Graham, Fetterman, Cruz Unite
Yet establishment figures across both parties are rallying behind Israel. Senators Lindsey Graham and John Fetterman, despite their ideological differences, called for full U.S. support.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R) and Rep. Ritchie Torres (D) also defended Israel’s right to act, blaming Iran for escalating the conflict.
Even Senator Ted Cruz and Ohio Democrat Greg Landsman agreed: “Diplomacy is over. Iran crossed the line.”
Laura Loomer Targets Trump Critics Within MAGA
Right-wing commentator Laura Loomer called on Trump supporters to expose conservative critics opposing war. “Take screenshots of every fake patriot,” she urged her 1.7 million followers.
President Trump appeared to support her campaign, reposting her comments and attacking Carlson directly: “IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.”
John Bolton Weighs In: Calls for Regime Change in Iran
Even John Bolton, one of Trump’s former national security hawks, cheered Israel’s action and called for “Phase Two—regime change.”
Conclusion: America First Movement Faces Critical Test
As the world watches the Israel-Iran war unfold, President Trump must decide: Will he stay true to his America First vision—or cave to the foreign policy elite?
The growing divide inside the MAGA movement may shape not only this crisis—but the future of conservative politics in 2025 and beyond.
