Former Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and former cable news host Tucker Carlson have signaled plans to form a new political party, citing growing dissatisfaction with the Republican Party and current U.S. foreign policy.
In a social media post on Saturday, Greene shared a photograph of a meeting featuring herself, her husband Brian Glenn, Carlson, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Massie’s wife, and Joe Kent.
“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,” Greene wrote in the post. She added that their goal is “America First for all Americans, right, left, and center,” concluding with, “The movement has begun.”
The gathering follows comments made by Carlson in June announcing his departure from the Republican Party.

During a June 18 interview on the Can’t Be Censored podcast, Carlson stated that he was working to help build a third-party alternative, arguing that both major parties prioritize foreign affairs over domestic issues.
“I would not support the Republican Party. There’s no chance I would support the Republican Party,” Carlson said. “I’m not going to support the Democratic Party — I’m not sure what I’m going to do.”
Carlson focused his criticism on U.S. involvement in the Middle East, specifically arguing that foreign interests have overly influenced American military decisions.
“How could I or any American voter support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States. 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,” Carlson said. He added, “What we know for certain is that the United States went to war with Iran — a war we are losing, that we’ve effectively lost already — because of pressure from the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu.”
Carlson concluded his interview by stating, “I’m out. And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out.”
President Donald Trump has repeatedly pushed back against claims that foreign leaders dictate U.S. military actions. Addressing assertions regarding policy on Iran and Israel earlier this year, Trump said in March, “If anything, I might’ve forced Israel’s hand.”
In a separate interview, Trump maintained that foreign policy decisions remain entirely under his authority, noting that Israel would accept whatever deal the administration cuts with Iran.
“I call the shots. I call all the shots,” Trump said. “[Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots.”
