Tucker Carlson Labels Fox's Jennifer Griffin 'Trump Hater' Amid Pentagon Iran Dispute

Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host, has publicly criticized Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin, accusing her of being a 'liar,' a 'true Trump hater,' and discrediting the channel, especially regarding her coverage of the recent U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. Carlson, who was fired in 2023, has also accused Fox News of pushing President Trump toward war with Iran. During a tense Pentagon briefing, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a former Fox host, harshly rebuked Griffin, calling her "the worst" and accusing her of intentionally misrepresenting information about Iran's nuclear program. Griffin defended her reporting, highlighting her accurate coverage of the B-2 bombers and the mission, and received support from colleagues like Fox analyst Brit Hume, who praised her professionalism and knowledge. The exchanges reflect broader tensions within Fox News and its coverage of Middle East conflicts, with Carlson continuing to attack his former employer and its coverage since his departure. Hegseth also criticized the press corps for what he perceives as bias against President Trump and his administration's military actions.
