Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene attacked Fox News and the New York Post as “propaganda” outlets over their reporting on the escalating Israel-Iran conflict.
Appearing on former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s One America News Network (OANN) on Monday, she accused the outlets of promoting U.S. involvement in the war.

“We’ve watched for decades propaganda news,” she began. “I’ll call out Fox News and the New York Post. They’re known to be the neocon network news.”
“We have propaganda news on our side just like the left does, and the American people have been brainwashed into believing that America has to engage in these foreign wars in order for us to survive, and it’s absolutely not true,” she added.
She continued by accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of having threatened the American people.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu said – I saw a video – he said today that ‘America First’ is ‘America Dead,’ and that sounds like a threat to me, and I completely disagree with him on that,” she argued. In order for America to not be dead, it’s to stay ‘America First,’ and this is what the American people want.”
“It is not antisemitic to say that we do not want to go to war against Iran or any other country. That is not antisemitic at all. It’s actually rational, it’s sane, and it’s loving to people all over the world. A Middle Eastern war will pull America back 20 years,” she added.
Ok, so Netanyahu is 100% planning something on US Soil.
Not good. Stay away from cities!

Greene went on to make the case that the arguments for U.S. involvement in the Iran-Israel crisis are “exactly the lies that we were told after 9/11, and many people know it’s not true.”
“So I’m completely opposed to this war,” she said. “Of course, we don’t want to see the people in Israel bombed, but they’re only being bombed because Israel attacked Iran first, and that’s the truth that we need to be talking about.”
Her words match those of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who on Monday accused Fox News in particular of indoctrinating “elderly” people with pro-war “propaganda.”
“What they’re doing is what they always do, which is just turning up the propaganda hose to full blast and just trying to, you know, knock elderly Fox viewers off their feet and make them submit to where you want them to,” he said.

All this comes amid a MAGA civil war pitting those who support Israel against those who either hate Israel or are apathetic toward it.
Conservative commentator Matt Walsh is one Trump-supporting conservative who doesn’t hate Israel but who also doesn’t think that American foreign policy should have anything to do with the country.
“Israel is its own country and perfectly capable of taking care of itself,” he tweeted Friday. “We do not need to be involved in this and should not be. Our country is under invasion.”
“Our cities are besieged by crime and dysfunction. Those are the problems we should be focused on fixing. Our people need to be protected and prioritized by the leaders we’ve elected. America first. Always,” he added.
He doubled down in another tweet two days later.
“The US has been at war with one random Middle East country after another for my entire adult life,” he tweeted Sunday. “It’s baffling that there are people who want this to continue. Can we focus on own problems for a change? Is that such a radical suggestion?”
On the other side of the aisle are those like fellow conservative commentator Ben Shapiro and President Donald Trump, both of whom have repeatedly warned that Iran MUST not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.

In a monologue on Monday, Shapiro argued that caring about the fate of Iran is the epitome of being “America First.”
“[Y]ou know who said Trump wants the nuclear program [in Iran] to end?” he said. “Donald Trump. You know who the actual leader of MAGA is? Donald Trump. He created MAGA. It is Donald Trump who created the America First movement.”
