WASHINGTON (TNND) — Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment for threatening nuclear war earlier this year.
“It’s enough for me to say he should be removed from office,” Carlson said during an interview with NPR. “He should have been removed from office by his own Cabinet secretaries the moment he threatened a nuclear attack.”
NPR host Steve Inskeep asked Carlson if the 25th Amendment should have been used to take Trump out.
“That’s correct,” Carlson said. “He should have been bundled up and taken out. That’s a crime. There’s no greater crime than that.”
Carlson, who campaigned for Trump in 2024 has become one of his loudest critics, specifically regarding the Iran war and Israel’s part in it.
In April of this year, Trump warned that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” referring to Iran when they first closed the Strait of Hormuz.
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F*****in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell,” Trump wrote on Easter Sunday.
Carlson said during the NPR interview that Democrats will likely try to impeach Trump on something like corruption, but not the Iran war.
“He’s not going to be punished for it,” Carlson said. “They’ll get him on corruption or whatever.”
