GOP pundit faces right-wing backlash over apparent July 4 plea to bomb funeral
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Fox News host Mark Levin disturbed onlookers Saturday after expressing disappointment that the Trump administration hadn’t authorized a strike on funeral proceedings for Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in U.S.-Israeli strikes back in late February.“Yesterday, the enemy gathered [en masse] all in one place,” Levin, a close ally of President Donald Trump’s, wrote Saturday in a social media post on X. “Opportunity lost.”That Levin spent part of America’s 250th anniversary presumably expressing disappointment that a funeral had not been targeted in an attack disturbed a handful of critics.“Mark Levin spends July 4th fantasizing about the US breaking its ceasefire with Iran to bomb a funeral,” wrote Chris Menahan, an independent journalist and publisher of Information Liberation.Conservative podcast host Robb Carter called Levin “the most nauseating human in media” in response to his July 4th musings, and conservative author and political analyst Rich Baris called Levin’s remarks “clinically insane.”“This is literally talking about executing the heads of state – including allies – and starting a World War we cannot win,” Baris wrote. “Insane.”Previously a “Never Trump” conservative, Levin has championed the president amid his deeply unpopular war against Iran. After the Trump administration reached a tentative peace deal with Iran, however, Levin appeared to reverse course and repeatedly attacked the Trump administration for having “capitulated” to Iran’s demands.Clinically insane.This is literally talking about executing the heads of state—including allies—and starting a World War we cannot win.Insane. https://t.co/FiUZRVSQLL— Rich Baris THE PEOPLE'S PUNDIT (@Peoples_Pundit) July 4, 2026
