Fox News star Mark Levin, a Trump loyalist whose show the President has been recommending to his supporters, attacked U.S. Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) after Khanna said this weekend he will reject further U.S. funding of Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system.
[NOTE: Trump recently encouraged Americans to watch Life, Liberty & Levin, saying the pundit would “discuss the importance of hitting Iran, HARD.”]
On Sunday, Khanna told Meet the Press: “No. I’m not supporting new funding…The answer for every Democrat should be ‘absolutely no’…It’s $400 billion for a war we oppose? We could have universal childcare for that. We could have free public college for that.”

Levin, who has argued for the deployment of U.S. ground troops in Iran, responded sharply to Khanna’s statement, saying: “Ro Khanna is a Jew-hating, America-hating demagogue, yet the media continue to give him airtime as some kind of a legitimate politician. The media are promoting the very hate these [expletive] are spewing.”
[NOTE: Khanna, who represents California’s 17th District, has not been designated a “legitimate politician” by virtue of a media conspiracy, as Levin insinuates; in 2024, Khanna defeated his Republican challenger 67.7% to 32.3%. He has held his congressional seat since 2017.]
Name calling won’t lower our gas prices or prevent more of our troops from being killed.
I am saddened how much damage neocons like you have done to America for your own interests.
A new generation will usher in a new moral direction. https://t.co/nbdf0JFIGm

Khanna replied to Levin: “Name calling won’t lower our gas prices or prevent more of our troops from being killed. I am saddened how much damage neocons like you have done to America for your own interests. A new generation will usher in a new moral direction.”
