Right-Wing Influencer Urges "Reverse Jump" to Stop Trump: Officials Should Refuse Orders and Take Away Nuclear Codes

On April 7, *The Wall Street Journal* reported that Tucker Carlson — a highly influential right-wing podcaster — urged U.S. officials to resist a potential large-scale strike on Iran ordered by Trump that would kill civilians. Carlson specifically called on officials to refuse to execute the orders, resign, and seize the nuclear codes from the president. Carlson also slammed Trump’s past "blasphemy against religious faith," arguing: "A person of conscience would not mock someone’s religion. To mock faith is to mock faith itself — we are not God. Only those who see themselves as God speak that way. This is not just mocking Islam; it’s mocking Christianity. Tweeting on Easter morning, using the F-word to vow civilian deaths and then saying ‘Allahu Akbar’ — you’re mocking every other Christian and me. That is deeply evil, a deliberate blasphemy against America and truth. That is the definition of evil." During his tenure at Fox News, Carlson was known for his sharp, anti-establishment tone, frequently criticizing mainstream media, immigration policies, and globalism. An early supporter and advocate of Trump, he is widely described as one of the most influential voices in right-wing media.
