Donald Trump has finally given a very clear and concrete definition of Maga,

Make America First, Make America Great Again, the title that he has used to describe his political movement, essentially from the very start since 2015 when he announced his run for president,

but he did so in the most petty and disturbing way possible. There has been a kind of war of

words waged among various popular conservative influencers and pundits, including people who are critical of Israel,

on the one hand like Tucker Carlson and increasingly Megan Kelly, and then the sort of hardcore

neocons who have long dominated the Republican Party, the type that Trump had repeatedly

vowed to vanquish people like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin.

And it really came to a head over the past week with the war in Iran as it became an increasingly

nasty and vitriolic war of words between Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly on the one hand

and Marklevin and Ben Shapiro in particular on the other.

And it got very personal when Megan Kelly began after months of enduring the most vicious attacks from Markovin,

having him call her a Jew hater and an anti-Semite and a Nazi over and over for the crime of criticizing Israel.

And I don't even mean harshly criticizing Israel.

Megan has been a orderly a defender of Israel for much of her career was a critic of the student

movement that broke out and erupted after the October 7th attack on American College campuses.

I debated Megan on that question.

And she was on the side of deporting those anti-Israel pro-Palestinian students.

And I, of course, was opposed to their deportation and defended their rights.

But it's been a trajectory and evolution on the part of Megan.

Like there has been a lot of conservative on the part of conservative influencers and journalists and activists, including Charlie Kirk before he died.

And the neocons in the party led by people like Ben Shapiro and Marklevin and Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, are apoplectic and absolutely determined to destroy any possibility of there can be any space in the Republican Party or in the conservative movement or in the MAGA movement for criticizing Israel because Israel is and always has been the most important issue to them by far,

far more important than any issues involving Americans or the United States.
