Marjorie Taylor Greene Joins Tucker Carlson in Breaking with Republican Party
Former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced she is done supporting the Republican Party, aligning with Tucker Carlson who had already rejected the GOP. Both criticize Trump’s administration over foreign policy and domestic issues, highlighting growing internal party divisions.
Former US congresswoman and Trump loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced that she is finished backing the Republican Party, aligning herself with right-wing TV personality Tucker Carlson. Carlson had previously stated his refusal to support the GOP just months before the midterm elections.
During an episode of the "Can't Be Censored" podcast, Carlson said there was “no chance” he would continue supporting the Republican Party, but clarified this did not mean a shift to the Democrats. “I don’t know what I’m going to do,” he added, noting that after 35 years of defending the party, many other longtime supporters might also leave.
Greene publicly voiced support for Carlson’s stance, writing on social media that “a lot of us are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country.” She emphasized this does not mean turning into Democrats.
Both Carlson and Greene have emerged as vocal critics of President Trump’s second term, focusing on the conflict with Iran and what they see as neglect of domestic priorities such as inflation, where consumer prices continue to outpace wage growth. In April, Carlson said he regrets his previous support of Trump and the role he played in his election.
The rift between Greene and Trump widened after she criticized the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump began calling her “Marjorie Traitor Greene.” Greene ultimately decided not to run for re-election and left Congress in January. In May, she revealed that she and her family received death threats following Trump’s public attacks.
Carlson, who has long opposed US involvement in foreign conflicts, said his break with the Republican Party stems from its abandonment of “America First” principles. He has repeatedly criticized Israel, arguing it pushed Washington toward war with Iran. According to reports, Trump told Carlson during an Oval Office meeting last year that he would not go to war with Iran.
