“Not gonna support the Democratic Party,” Carlson was quick to
add, speaking late last week on the show “Can't Be Censored.” “I
don't know what I'm going to do.”
Carlson, who has amassed a large following on his own podcast
since being fired from Fox News in 2023, has more recently
diverged from the party, a disillusionment supercharged by
President Donald Trump's decision to go to war with Iran in
February.
Carlson supported Trump in 2024. After the war began, he
apologized for supporting the then-presidential candidate and
“misleading people," saying it wasn't intentional.
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.”
