Tucker Carlson Says He Won’t Support Republican Party
Carlson said he will not back either major party and blamed Republican leaders for putting Israel ahead of U.S. voters.
- Pundit Tucker Carlson announced on June 18 that he will no longer support the Republican Party, declaring the GOP has "betrayed" Americans by prioritizing foreign interests over domestic needs.
- Carlson argued Republican leaders placed "loyalty to Israel" above United States interests, claiming the party backed President Donald Trump's Iran war under pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- After defending the party for 35 years, Carlson emphasized on the Can't Be Censored podcast that he voted Republican his "entire life" but now finds the GOP's current posture "immoral."
- Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene echoed the announcement on Monday, branding the GOP an "America LAST" party and alleging Republicans have betrayed the public by favoring Israel.
- A CBS poll released Sunday shows a majority of Americans want the Iran war to end, reflecting a widening divide between traditional Republican leadership and populist voices arguing the party has strayed.

For a long time, the former television presenter was regarded as a supporter of the US President. Now, he is publicly counting on the Republicans.
American TV personality Tucker Carlson says it is not possible for him to support the Republicans in the November midterm elections. But he will not support the Democrats either.
For years now, Tucker Carlson has been eloquently representing the partly radical positions of Donald Trump's MAGA movement. For some time now, however, he has been alienating himself with Republican foreign policy, especially with regard to Israel. Now, the right-wing commentator finally turns his back on the party.
The conservative US moderator accuses leading Republicans of putting Israel's interests above those of its own population.
The Republicans would "place the interests of another country above those of their own citizens," said the former Fox presenter.
