Marjorie Taylor Greene backed Tucker Carlson in his feud with Donald Trump over the president's stance on Iran after Trump called the former Fox News host 'kooky' and mocked his independent show.
Carlson has suggested Trump abandoned 'America First' principles to support Israel against the Iranians which has led to multiple responses from the president.
He wrote Monday night on Truth social: 'Somebody please explain to kooky Tucker Carlson that,' IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!'
Greene - one of Trump's closest allies in Congress and a conservative firebrand who is also against war with Iran - rushed to Carlson's defense after Trump immortalized the broadcaster with a nickname.
'Tucker Carlson is one of my favorite people. He fiercely loves his wife, children, and our country. Since being fired by the neocon network Fox News, he has more popularity and viewers than ever before,' she wrote on social media.
