Tucker Carlson: "I'm out" (of the Republican Party)

Tucker Carson said he won't be voting for Republicans this year because of the war with Iran.
He’s repeatedly criticized the war as being at the behest of Israel at the expense of Americans, and attacked the party for failing to represent its own voters, citizens and nation.
“They are making decisions on the basis of other criteria, what’s best for this company, what’s best for Israel, what’s best for our donors,” he said. “That’s not just, like, they are off in the wrong direction, like, that is unacceptable, that’s treasonous, it’s immoral, it can’t continue.”
“I’ve been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party, I mean very consistent defender, but there’s no defending this,” he said. “So no, I’m out. And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out.”

(Maybe not surprisingly, I did not locate anything about this on the FoxNews website.)

I'd guess that he just won't vote because the democrats make his skin crawl with their fucked up agenda items.
But then again, it may just be a power play to get more 'clicks'...... this is most likely the case.

Yes he certainly made clear that he is not voting D.
Maybe you are right that he wants the attention and to monetize it. Would not be the first time.

It's really surprising they're losing people's support. (Lol.)

What a horrible statement. I hope there is universal condemnation of this and that he isn't allowed on U.S. soil.

He's talking about being independent isn't he? You don't need to be a member of a party to decide who to vote for. It's really two separate issues
