[Video below.] Conservative media personality Tucker Carlson announced that he is severing ties with the Republican Party, declaring that the GOP no longer represents his views and accusing party leaders of abandoning the interests of American voters.

Speaking on his “Can’t Be Censored” podcast, Carlson said he has reached a breaking point after years of supporting Republicans and can no longer align himself with the party.

“I’m out,” Carlson said. “And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out.

“I would not support the Republican Party. There’s no chance I would support the Republican Party.”

Carlson has been one of the most vocal critics on the right of the conflict involving Iran and has repeatedly attacked the Trump administration’s support for Israel. He argued that Republican leaders have placed the priorities of a foreign ally ahead of those of American citizens.

Carlson stated that Republicans “betrayed” voters by prioritizing Israel’s needs over those of the U.S.

“How could I or any American voter support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States?” Carlson asked.

“That puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens? It’s not possible to vote for people like that, and I’m not going to,” he added.

The longtime commentator, who said he spent 35 years fiercely defending the Republican Party, made clear that his departure from the GOP does not signal support for Democrats. He said he remains uncertain about whom he will support politically in the future.

Carlson’s split with Republicans comes after months of increasingly public disagreements with President Donald Trump, particularly over Iran and American involvement in the Middle East.

In April, Trump sharply criticized Carlson after the commentator condemned military action against Iran.

“It’s easy! Tucker is a Low IQ person — Always easy to beat, and highly overrated!!!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

The president also accused Carlson and other anti-war commentators of effectively aiding Tehran by opposing efforts to confront the Iranian regime, dismissing them as attention-seekers using the issue to build their audiences.

“They think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon,” Trump wrote.
