Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia say they are no longer supporting the Republican Party, citing disagreements over U.S. policy toward Israel and Iran. In a recent broadcast, Carlson announced he was leaving the party after decades as a Republican supporter. He said, “I voted Republican my entire life, I have been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican party, but there is no defending this. I’m out.”
He argued that U.S. support for Israel had drawn the country into an ongoing conflict with Iran. Soon, Greene echoed Carlson’s frustration in a social media post, writing, “Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party. There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country. That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either. But we are DONE with the America LAST Republican Party.”
Greene’s comments suggest her criticism is directed at the party’s current leadership rather than signaling support for Democrats. Their remarks come as some conservative commentators have publicly criticized President Donald Trump over his handling of the conflict with Iran, exposing growing divisions within parts of the Republican base over U.S. foreign policy.
