Ted Cruz vs. Tucker Carlson:
Who Is the Better Bootlicker?

Jun 23, 2025

A lot of people saw the interview between former Fox TV host Tucker Carlson and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, during which Carlson told Cruz that he doesn’t know anything about Iran. For example, Cruz didn’t know how many people lived in Iran, (answer: 92 plus million people), nor what ethnic groups they were, other than “Persian.” Persian people make up half the Iranian population.

Carlson is calling out Cruz for knowing nothing about a country that Cruz may be helping the U.S. government to declare war against.

Since both Cruz and Carlson call themselves MAGA, the back and forth is ironic.
