Both Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly have expressed skepticism and criticism regarding U.S. intervention in Venezuela, particularly concerning the Trump administration's approach, rather than being "critical on Venezuela" in the sense of criticizing the country itself.

Megyn Kelly criticized what she described as "rah-rah cheerleading" for a potential U.S. invasion of Venezuela by her former network, Fox News. She compared the coverage to "Russian propaganda" and urged caution, noting that U.S. efforts to implement regime change in foreign countries "nine times out of 10, they don't work out well". She also questioned the use of U.S. military "boots on the ground," emphasizing the human cost.

Tucker Carlson has consistently warned against U.S. "regime change" in other countries, including Venezuela. He has questioned whether overthrowing Nicolás Maduro would benefit the U.S. or make Venezuela more stable and prosperous, pointing to the negative outcomes of previous interventions in Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan. In one instance, Carlson sparked debate by suggesting that U.S. actions against Maduro were being driven by "pro-gay forces" (which he termed "globo homo") due to some Venezuelan opposition figures supporting LGBTQ+ rights, an argument that drew criticism from other conservative pundits like Ben Shapiro
