MAGA infighting explodes as Trump adviser goes scorched earth on Fox News host

Alex Bruesewitz, an adviser to President Donald Trump, lashed out at Fox News host Mark Levin Saturday over Levin’s continued criticisms of the tentative peace deal the Trump administration had agreed to with Iran, going as far as to suggest he was working on behalf of a foreign government.Previously a “Never Trump” conservative, Levin has championed the president amid his deeply unpopular war against Iran. After the Trump administration reached a tentative peace deal with Iran, however, Levin appeared to reverse course and repeatedly attacked the Trump administration for having “capitulated” to Iran’s demands.Levin’s latest criticism of the Trump administration was lobbed Saturday morning on social media where he sarcastically criticized a social media post from Trump in which the president appeared to back the idea that he “holds the cards” in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's re-election chances.“Surely we’re not interfering in another country’s election,” Levin wrote. “We oppose that. Must be fake news.”After seeing Levin’s social media post, Bruesewitz issued the Fox News host a blistering response.“Hey [Levin], I’m getting really sick of you attacking President Trump,” Bruesewitz wrote in a social media post on X.Bruesewitz flagged a report by The Times of Israel on Thursday about Netanyahu’s supposed plans to “use right-wing media personalities” to “influence” the terms of the tentative peace deal between Washington and Tehran. The report explicitly names Levin as an example.“This report came out a couple of days ago and I haven’t seen you respond to it,” Bruesewitz wrote.“Are you working with a foreign government to try to influence the American people’s opinion and President Trump’s deal with Iran? Or are you just spreading lies and misinformation because you are returning to your anti-Trump roots?”Bruesewitz has supported Trump since 2015 and was an organizer behind the Stop the Steal movement, the movement led by those who falsely allege that systemic voter fraud occurred in the 2020 election that culminated with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in 2021.Hey @marklevinshow, I’m getting really sick of you attacking President Trump.This report came out a couple of days ago and I haven’t seen you respond to it.Are you working with a foreign government to try to influence the American people’s opinion and President Trump’s deal https://t.co/hdfpjV0AOI pic.twitter.com/K4pe39r2iK— Alex Bruesewitz (@alexbruesewitz) June 20, 2026
