There’s a growing schism on the American right fueled by comments made by two of Trumps former allies.

It all started when former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, took aim at the network, the president, and Trump’s handling of the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.

Tucker Carlson and former Trump Chief Strategist Steve Bannon are driving a wedge through the MAGA base, arguing that American support for Israel in its battle against Iran goes against Trump’s promise of putting America first.

On Tuesday, Republican representative Thomas Massie from Kentucky, announced he plans on introducing a measure that would force the president to seek congressional approval for a war with Iran and he’s already found a co-signer, Democratic representative Ro Khanna, of California.
