Tucker Carlson says he won’t support Republican Party

Pundit Tucker Carlson says he’s done with the Republican Party.

“The poll numbers now tell a pretty clear story about it. I would not support the Republican Party, there’s no chance,” Carlson 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.”

Carlson asked 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, a former supporter of President Trump, broke with the president after the U.S. military campaign against Iran and its proxies began earlier this year.

The former cable news host has accused the Trump administration of being influenced by Israel to begin the war and has repeatedly blasted the president over the conflict.

Carlson was insistent he will not support Republicans or vote for them in coming elections.

“So no, I’m out,” he said. “And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out, too.”
