Tucker Carlson announces he will no longer support Republican Party

Jun 22, 2026

Conservative pundit Tucker Carlson has officially broken with the Republican Party, declaring on the "Can't Be Censored" podcast that he will no longer support the GOP. Carlson, a defender of the party for 35 years, cited the U.S. war in Iran and accused the GOP of prioritizing Israel's national security over American interests. The split highlights growing fractures in the MAGA coalition, as Donald Trump has dismissed Carlson as no longer being part of the movement, while White House spokesman Davis Ingle defended the administration's military decisions.
