Tucker Carlson says he will no longer support the Republican Party

journalismJun 23, 202620758

Tucker Carlson told the Can't Be Censored podcast "there's no chance I would support the Republican Party" and said he will not back the GOP ahead of the November midterm elections. The former Fox News host said Republicans have "betrayed" voters by prioritizing corporate donors and Israel's security over American interests, especially in decisions around a potential strike on Iran. Carlson said he still opposes Democrats and suggested his exit could prompt others to abandon the party. The break matters because Carlson has been a major influencer with conservative voters, and his defection could complicate GOP messaging and turnout in a closely contested midterm.

Tucker Carlson is officially breaking with the Republican Party after spending decades as one of its most influential backers. He accused the party of "treasonous" actions and putting the interests of corporate donors and Israel above those of American citizens, especially regarding the Iran war.

Tucker Carlson can eat a bag of dicks. He’s just reinventing himself because he sees the iceberg in front of the Trumptanic. Carlson is one of the main reasons why we’re in this mess today. Him and his Fox News liars pounded Obama daily for no reason other than he was our first Black president.

He's in the same group of people as MTG. They have wreaked havoc for years poisoning the minds of people across this country. I don't give a flying fuck what Tucker Carlson has to say now. The damage has been done. He can't roll it back, he can't undo it, he can't make it a go away with "I'm sorry".

I don't care, and I don't believe him. The sooner I never hear about him again, the happier I'll be.

All he is doing is self promoting for his time after Trump. He is a liar who will say anything to get what he wants.

Tucker helped to create the mess. He should be bound to it.

Putin is paying him more than Fox ever did.

It took him long enough. As long as he was employed by Fox News he was an ardent MAGA.

The most shocking aspect of all of this is that there’s still an AOL.

I smell No Labels. Beware sheep in wolves clothing.

He's not leaving. Just looking for attention

Nope. Tucker is still maga through and through. He's just following the money. He's now and will always be a grifter and he'll find a reason to vote republican again once the demented orange buffoon is out of the picture.

Everyone knows that Tucker is a master propagandist. He’s caused indelible division and hatred across the nation. He should be a man without a country.

My money is on him voting Republicon next election.

Now a warning from Tucker Carlson? What a fucking arsonist!

Sergeant Swamp💙3

The only thing he will do is to continue being the asshole he has always been🎯.

Gerry Cohen3

Ha. We don't want him.

In the Dominion lawsuit against Fox we all saw Tucker Carlson’s texts showing he knew the “stolen election” claims were BS and he didn’t seem to like Trump very much. That was in 2020, and it took Carlson until now to find his conscience? I call bullshit. This is suspicious.

Lpeterp3

Ha! Where does this loudmouth conspiracy theorist think he's going to go?

Johnny 🫧 Cowlick3

We could've told Tucker Carlson all those things about the GOP years ago.

Obadiah Brooks2

Fuck him he’s partly responsible for all this.. hating Trump in private while praising him on Fox. That dude and mtq can fuck right off.

LesnielBC 🇨🇦🇩🇰2

Tucker can still go fuck himself ten ways to Sunday. POS.

Deeds Not Words2

Lol, is he joining the Nazis or the KKK?

Yeah well good old Tucker still does high fives and bum pats with Putin. He just plays the game of look at me. I am a somebody. He’s probably in the Epstein files along with his Fox buddies. I always wonder why Tucker, and other Fox News anchors are not screaming for the release Hannity included

#Fuck_Tucker with a hot poker & send him to hell!

So he’s running for President?

Tucker Carlson is a man NEVER to be trusted. Don’t turn your back. Don’t leave out your security codes and definitely never share any secrets.

JacqueBlue2

He's leaving the Republican Party to join the Nazi Party. Please stop treating these traitors like heroes who finally came around to the correct views.

Whatever sells. It’s always about the money. Fucking ass hat ruined our country for a few bucks. “No time for losers cause we are the…” -FM You get the point
