Fox News host Mark Levin started as one of the original Never Trumpers.

Levin tried to get himself on President Trump’s good side.

But now Mark Levin just ripped Trump to shreds in this explosive rant.

Back in 2016, Levin declared he would never vote for Donald Trump.

Levin then became one of the loudest voices pushing for the war in Iran and hailing Trump as a historic figure.

However, Levin wanted a regime-change war, complete with ground troops, and even advocated for nuclear strikes on Iran.

When President Trump announced he was ending the war to strike a deal that would prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, which was always Trump’s main goal, Levin lost his mind.

In a 17-minute rant on his Fox News show, Levin attacked Trump as a naive appeaser.

“I’m going to start the program where I’d rather not start, but I must,” Levin urged. “I want to say to people in and out of the administration, stop trashing, smearing, and bullying the little state of Israel. Stop cozying up to and telling us that the enemy regime in Iran is now more rational, more moderate, and a regime that we can deal with.” 

Levin was referring to comments Trump made about how the new Iranian leadership was “very rational” and had been “very nice to deal with.”

In his monologue, Levin also smeared Trump as disloyal to Israel.

“I think it’s outrageous — when we used to see the Secretary of War and the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff daily here on Fox tell us of the fantastic marriage, symmetry between our militaries in defeating this enemy,” Levin ranted. “I’m really appalled by this. And I hope it comes to an end sooner rather than later. Because it’s not right, it’s not just, and it’s not truthful.” 

What got Levin all worked up was Trump saying he was considering telling Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa to deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon over Trump’s concerns about Israel’s military tactics.

“You don’t have to knock down an apartment house every time you’re looking for somebody,” Trump told reporters.

“Because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses, ⁠and they’re ​not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you,” Trump added. “I suggested to Israel ​to let Syria take care of Hezbollah, because, to be honest with you, I think they do a better job of doing ​it.”

Levin also falsely claimed Trump was acting like a stooge for Hezbollah.

“We declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts — including with Hezbollah,” Levin exclaimed. “Another grave mistake, in my view. Why are we doing Hezbollah’s bidding? When Israel is being attacked by Hezbollah and the Lebanese people and the government want Hezbollah gone, it’s an Iranian terrorist group that has taken over the country. It’s a complete capitulation to the Iranian regime. Because Hezbollah is its terrorist lifeline, it’s an absolute capitulation by them! And why would we do this? Why would we do it to Israel?” 

Many Never Trumpers like Mark Levin, Josh Hammer, and Ben Shapiro, who all opposed Trump in 2016 and the 2024 primary, suddenly pulled an about-face to claim to be the number one champions of Trump and MAGA when Trump decided to go to war with Iran.

But once Trump stuck to his America First guns and rejected calls for a regime change war and instead pursued a narrow mission to stop Iran’s nuclear weapons program, Levin, Shapiro, and Hammer reverted to their Never Trump roots.
