'We are done': Marjorie Taylor Greene follows Tucker Carlson in breaking with Republican Party

WASHINGTON, DC: The Republican Party's internal rift has reached a breaking point, with Marjorie Taylor Greene joining Tucker Carlson on an exit ramp from the GOP.

The longtime conservative commentator stunned many when he recently announced his break from the Republican Party, accusing it of committing “treasonous” acts and prioritizing the interests of corporate donors and Israel over those of US citizens, particularly in its approach to the Iran conflict. 

The former Republican lawmaker, who broke publicly with President Donald Trump last fall over his handling of the Epstein files, climbed aboard Carlson's anti-GOP movement, declaring that she, too, was withdrawing her support from the party.

 Marjorie Taylor Greene bashes Republican Party as 'America LAST' party

Greene, on Monday, June 22, said she could no longer back the GOP, branding it the "America LAST" party in a sharp rebuke of its direction.

She also aligned herself with Carlson's argument that Republican leaders have betrayed “their voters and country.”

“Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party. There are a lot of us who are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country,” Greene tweeted.

“That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either. But we are DONE with the America LAST Republican Party,” she added.

One of Trump's MAGA superstars and staunchest defenders, Greene, last year announced her decision to resign from Congress, claiming it had become a broken institution consumed by "political drama," and accused Republican leaders of abandoning everyday Americans. 

This came as the president withdrew his support from Greene, calling her a "traitor," after she criticized him and his administration for their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, along with other matters.

Tucker Carlson says it's not possible to vote for Republican Party

Greene’s announcement of withdrawing her support came after Carlson announced he was officially ditching the Republicans.

“The poll numbers now tell a pretty clear story about it. I would not support the Republican Party, there’s no chance,” the former Fox News host said during a recent appearance on the 'Can’t Be Censored' podcast.

“Not because I support the Democratic Party. I don’t know what I’m going to do,” said Carlson, before asking how any American “could support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States.”

“It’s not possible to vote for people like that and I’m not going to,” he said. “I voted Republican my entire life, I worked at Fox News … I’ve been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party, but there’s no defending this because it’s immoral.”

Carlson, the once-ardent supporter of Trump who has amassed a large following on his own podcast since being fired from Fox News in 2023, has more recently drifted away from the party, a disillusionment supercharged by Trump’s decision to launch a war against Iran.

After the war began, he apologized for supporting the then-presidential candidate and "misleading people," saying it wasn't intentional.
