Right wing comedian Dave Smith apologized for supporting Donald Trump and now says the president should be removed from office.
In an appearance on Breaking Points podcast, Smith, a regular guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast, said that he felt betrayed by Trump over his policy on Iran.
“I supported him last year I apologize for doing so,” Smith said. “It was a bad calculation. At the time, it seemed like the right one. He should be impeached and removed.”
Trump told ABC News’ Rachel Scott in an interview on Sunday that the U.S. “could” get involved in the Israel-Iran conflict. In a post on Truth Social, he warned Iran that if the U.S. is attacked, “the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.”
Smith, who said he supported Trump partly because of his pledge to end forever wars, told Breaking Points hosts that the MAGA leader’s position is “an absolute betrayal of everything that he ran and campaigned on—and everything he has stood for.”
“He is going to lose his coalition over this,” Smith added.
Last week, Israel launched an air strike targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities. That has resulted in a days long exchange of missiles between the two nations.
At least 224 people have been killed in Iran since Friday, with more than 1,200 injured. Meanwhile in Israel, at least 24 people have died and more than 500 have been injured.
