Conservative media personalities have largely rallied behind Donald Trump's recent actions in Venezuela, despite some reservations from within their ranks.
While some have expressed concern about the legality of the incursion and its potential consequences, many others have praised Trump for taking a strong stance against what they see as a hostile regime. Joe Walsh, a former Republican congressman and talk radio host, stated that "the party is going to stand with him on this" and that conservative media will continue to support Trump's actions.
Mark Levin, a prominent conservative commentator, has gone even further, calling critics of the operation "pure evil" and defending Trump's decision as a necessary measure to protect America's national security. Levin has also championed the idea of the "Donroe Doctrine," which posits that Trump's America has dominance over the Western hemisphere.
However, not everyone in the conservative media community is on board with Trump's actions. Kat Timpf, a libertarian commentator and Fox News regular, has expressed skepticism about the operation, pointing out inconsistencies in Trump's past comments about international involvement. She argued that "it doesn't make any sense" to justify military intervention as a means of regime change.
Candace Owens, another conservative media personality, has taken a critical view of the operation, characterizing it as a CIA-led "hostile takeover" aimed at benefiting global interests rather than promoting American values.
Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson, who had previously expressed reservations about regime change in Venezuela, seemed more cautious in his comments after Trump's backing for Maduro's former vice-president, Delcy Rodríguez. However, even Carlson acknowledged that the US should be careful not to overstep its bounds in foreign affairs, citing concerns about the long-term consequences of military intervention.
The Murdoch-controlled print media ecosystem has also been divided on the issue. The New York Post's editorial board has strongly defended Trump's actions, while the Wall Street Journal's editorial board has taken a more skeptical view, questioning Trump's dismissal of the Venezuelan opposition leader and highlighting the potential risks of US involvement in the region.

I'm getting vibes that this whole Venezuela situation is just a smokescreen for something bigger. Like, what's really going on with these conservative media folks? They're either totally on board with Trump's actions or they're trying to cover their own tracks. 
Mark Levin's "Donroe Doctrine" thing sounds like a total red herring to me - it's just an excuse for him to sound all tough and patriotic. And what about Candace Owens? Her CIA-led "hostile takeover" theory is way too convenient. I bet she's got an angle of her own here... 
newsflash: it doesn't. meanwhile, i'm over here watching all the conservative media personalities gang up on each other... kat timpf calling out trump's inconsistencies, candace owens sounding the alarm about CIA involvement... and tucker carlson just sorta... existing in a cautious bubble 
what's going on?
. I mean, I've been following it for years, but Donald Trump's actions just seem so... impulsive 
.
. I mean, I know some people are skeptical about the government, but this is just ridiculous 
.
. And what's up with Delcy Rodríguez? Trump backing her? That's just weird 
. Can we just get some clear guidance from our leaders for once? 
. It seems like some people are taking sides without thinking about the bigger picture 
. What if this sets a bad precedent for other countries? 
.
. It's always important to question authority and think critically about our decisions 
. And I'm glad Tucker Carlson is being cautious too 
. We need to be careful not to rush into things without thinking them through.
. Instead of just pitting Trump against his critics, can't we try to understand each other's perspectives and find common ground? 
It's always easier to agree when we listen to each other's thoughts and feelings 
.
The idea of a "Donroe Doctrine" sounds like a recipe for disaster and I'm worried about where this kind of thinking might lead us. It feels like some people are more interested in promoting Trump's image as a strong leader than actually examining the facts.
. And Kat Timpf makes a legit point about inconsistencies in Trump's comments... it does seem weird that he'd suddenly be all about regime change without warning.
. I love how Candace Owens is speaking truth to power and questioning the motives behind Trump's actions - it's so important for us to think critically about our leaders' decisions 
. And I'm also glad to see some of the conservative media folks like Kat Timpf who are being cautious and not blindly supporting everything that Trump says 
. Let's all just take a deep breath and try to understand the situation before we start taking sides, you know? 
What if he messes things up and causes more problems than he solves? 
... Can't we just try to figure out the situation before taking drastic measures? 
. Kat Timpf is right on the money when she points out inconsistencies in Trump's past comments - it's not a good look for him. And let's be real, Candace Owens has a point about the CIA getting involved 
... i mean, trump's taking a hardline stance on venezuela and conservies are all over it 
some people think its a great move for national security 
and we'll just have to wait and see how this all plays out 
. And can we please get some actual details on what's going down before everyone jumps on the bandwagon? 
. Mark Levin is straight fire tho, his Donroe Doctrine thing is like... 
. The media divide is wild though
