Disgraced former television host Tucker Carlson has announced that he has left the Republican Party. It should be met with a resounding “good riddance,” and an acknowledgment that President Donald Trump has pushed extremists out of the GOP while Democrats have embraced their own.Carlson made his announcement on his show, claiming that “I would not support the Republican Party. There’s no chance I would support the Republican Party,” because, “at this point, how could you support, how could I or any American voter support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States, that puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens?”

This is welcome news. Carlson is the most “Israel First” person in the American political arena, because Israel is the first and just about the only thing he ever wants to talk about. He is utterly obsessed with Israel, and he has decided to abandon the fight against Democrats (which he used to pretend was crucial to the future of the country) because the GOP won’t fully embrace his antisemitic conspiracy theories and Islamist propaganda about the Middle East.

Tucker Carlson to @tedcruz last June: "I'm not obsessed with 'the Jews.' This is about Israel, not 'the Jews.'"Tucker Carlson's show today: "What Jews want is political clout from Christians in America to continue this violent Ponzi scheme they have going in the Middle East."… pic.twitter.com/vLBI7ySFJ9— Nathan Livingstone (MilkBarTV) (@TheMilkBarTV) June 23, 2026
