Marjorie Taylor Greene says she is finished supporting the Republican Party, echoing Tucker Carlson’s decision to ditch the GOP and his claim that Republicans have put a foreign country’s interests—Israel’s—above U.S. voters. Greene’s shift comes after years o
Marjorie Taylor Greene didn’t wait for a formal party break to start acting like one. On Monday, she posted on X that she was done supporting the Republican Party—branding it the “America LAST” party—and positioned herself alongside Tucker Carlson as he moved away from the GOP.
Greene’s message landed after a few days of churn around Carlson’s own departure. Carlson announced last week that he was officially ditching the Republicans, saying he wouldn’t support the party “not loyal to the United States,” and that he wouldn’t back Democrats either.
Greene’s post on X was just as blunt. “Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party,” she wrote. “There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country.” She added. “That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either. But we are DONE with the America LAST Republican Party.”.
At the center of both politicians’ break is the same accusation: that Republicans are failing their own voters while prioritizing Israel.
Carlson put the argument this way when he said he would not support the Republican Party. “There’s no chance I would support the Republican Party. ” he said. adding. “I’m not going to support the Democratic Party — I’m not sure what I’m going to do.” He continued by arguing that “any American voter” shouldn’t back a political party that isn’t loyal to the United States. because “That puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens.”.
Carlson tied his claim directly to the question of U.S. involvement in a war with Iran. He said the United States went to war with Iran—“a war we are losing. that we’ve effectively lost already”—because of pressure from Israel’s prime minister. Benjamin Netanyahu. “What we know for certain is that the United States went to war with Iran… because of pressure from the prime minister of Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu. ” Carlson said.
Trump has rejected that framing. In March. he scoffed at claims about the Iran war. telling the idea that “If anything. I might’ve forced Israel’s hand.” Earlier this month. he also said Israel has “no choice” but to accept whatever deal he cuts with Iran. insisting. “I call the shots. I call all the shots,” and adding that “ [Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots.”.
For Greene, the Israel-related criticism has come to mirror what Carlson has been saying in recent months. She has also complained about the Iran war and America’s close relationship with Israel.
Her break from Trump-era orthodoxy didn’t begin with Tucker Carlson, though. Greene was once a supporter of Trump and later became one of his most vocal MAGA critics. One flashpoint was her focus on files tied to dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein—she said the Trump administration wasn’t working hard enough to release what she wanted to be released. That shift helped drive her split with Trump last year.
When the rupture became public, Trump called her a “traitor” and pulled his support for her. Greene said she quit Congress as a result, describing the decision as necessary because she was facing a “hateful primary” spurred by Trump.
After leaving the House of Representatives, Greene continued bashing Trump, including on Iran and Israel—moves that made Monday’s step away from the GOP feel less like a surprise and more like a conclusion she had been setting up for some time.
The through-line is clear in the facts both politicians are choosing to emphasize: the claim that the Republican Party is no longer acting like it’s loyal to U.S. voters, and the insistence that U.S. policy—especially around Iran—has been shaped by Israel in a way they believe harms Americans.

Wow so she’s leaving the GOP after Tucker, surprising.
They always say “America last” but somehow it’s like… still the same people everywhere. Also Israel always gets blamed in these convos, like what about our own issues? I didn’t even read the whole thing, just the headline.
So Tucker Carlson quits the GOP and then she quits too, does that mean they’re joining the Democrats? Because “not turning into Democrats” sounds like PR speak. And “foreign country’s interests above voters” like… isn’t politics literally foreign lobby money for everyone anyway?
I’m kinda confused because Greene literally has been “anti GOP” for years, so why is this the big break now? The article says she posted on X that she’s done supporting the Republican Party like it’s sudden, but I feel like she’s been acting like it already. Also Tucker saying he won’t support either party sounds fake like he’ll land somewhere else. Not shocked, just annoyed.
