Marjorie Taylor Green says Donald Trump ‘betrayed us all’ after meeting with Thomas Massie and Tucker Carlson in Maine cabin
A group of President Donald Trump‘s former allies are fueling speculation about a new “America First” political movement after they met at former Fox News host Tucker Carlson‘s cabin in Maine, Wonderwall.com can report.
The group — which included Carlson, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, outgoing Congressman Thomas Massie and former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent — prompted speculation about a possible political realignment after Greene accused the president of betraying the “America First” agenda that helped return him to the White House.
Inside the cabin
Greene shared a photo from the gathering on social media on August 1, revealing Carlson seated at the head of a candlelit table inside his rustic cabin.
Seated on either side of him were Massie and his wife, Carolyn Grace Moffa; Greene and her new husband, Brian Glenn; and Kent and his wife, Heather Kaiser.
The setting featured vintage firearms mounted on the walls, an American flag displayed in the corner and an antler chandelier hanging above the group as they posed with matching mugs and a plate of cookies.
In her photo caption, Greene explained what they all have in common.
‘The movement has begun’
Alongside the image, Greene declared that the attendees were united by what they see as Trump’s failure to keep one of his central campaign promises.
“We said no more foreign wars, and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he’s betrayed us all,” the former lawmaker from Georgia wrote.
She added, “Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center. The movement has begun.”
Massie reposted the image with a playful caption, writing, “This meeting will not be televised,” despite Carlson frequently filming his podcast at the same property.
Frustration with Trump mounts
The gathering united several conservatives who were once closely aligned with Trump but have since become outspoken critics.
Greene’s relationship with the president deteriorated in 2025 after she pushed for the release of government files related to convicted predator Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump publicly called the then-congresswoman a “traitor” as their feud intensified and she resigned from Congress in January.
Massie also fell out of favor after opposing key parts of Trump’s legislative agenda and repeatedly called for greater transparency surrounding the Epstein files.
The Republican from Kentucky ultimately lost his primary election after Trump backed challenger Ed Gallrein in a race many political observers viewed as a test of the president’s influence within the GOP.
Kent, meanwhile, recently left the Trump administration following disagreements over U.S. involvement in Iran before appearing on Carlson’s podcast to discuss his departure.
Praise and backlash
Greene’s post sparked a wave of reactions across social media, with supporters hailing the gathering as the beginning of a renewed “America First” movement.
Far-right radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones praised the gathering, writing, “That’s a great group of Americans!”
Another supporter compared the attendees to superheroes, commenting, “The Avengers have assembled.”
However, not everyone was impressed.
Conservative activist Laura Loomer blasted the meeting, accusing everyone pictured of turning against the president.
“Every single one of these people belongs on a government watch list,” Loomer wrote on social media. “Every person in this photo is a traitor to America and an anti-Trump operative amplified by foreign adversaries.”
Conservative podcaster Meghan McCain joked about the gathering, saying, “Why does everyone in this photo look like they’re at Patricia’s Sunset Cocktails?” — a reference to a storyline in the recent lauded Apple TV horror-comedy series Widow’s Bay.
