Tucker Carlson says Trump should be impeached if he considers nuclear first strike

Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson said President Donald Trump should be impeached and removed from office if he is seriously considering being the first to use nuclear weapons in a conflict such as the Iran War.

Carlson, a longtime Trump ally who has become increasingly critical of the president over the war in Iran, made the comments during a discussion with former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent.

While stressing that he opposed Trump’s first two impeachments, Carlson said a president considering a first-use nuclear strike would cross the line. 

“The second any president actively considers first use of nuclear weapons, that person should be removed from office immediately,” Carlson said, arguing that a willingness to initiate a nuclear exchange demonstrated that a leader was unfit for office.
