Tucker Carlson withdraws support from Republican Party, accuses it of prioritizing Israeli interests
American conservative commentator Tucker Carlson announced he will not support the Republican Party in the November midterm elections. Carlson criticized the party for prioritizing Israeli interests and donor expectations over voters.
American conservative commentator and podcast host Tucker Carlson announced he will not support the Republican Party in the upcoming Congressional midterm elections in November.
In a speech on his "Can't Be Censored" program, Carlson said he had been a consistent supporter of the party for 35 years but they no longer have a defensible position. "That's it for me. There are probably many people who think like me," he said.
The commentator alleged that the Republican Party shapes its policies and decisions according to Israeli interests and the expectations of party donors, ignoring the interests of voters. He described this situation as "unacceptable and immoral."
Carlson stated he does not support the Democratic Party either, saying, "I don't know what I'm going to do."
Carlson, a former Fox News host, had previously supported Donald Trump in the 2024 election but later apologized publicly for that support after the start of the US-Israel war with Iran.
Carlson has long criticized the Republican Party for not representing its own voters, US citizens, and the country's general interests. He has repeatedly stated that Washington's foreign policy line is shaped not by the American people, but by Israeli interests.
