Summary
Carlson said on the “Can’t Be Censored” podcast that he is “out” of the Republican Party and expects other disillusioned voters to leave with him.
Israel and Iran drove the break: he accused Republicans of putting a foreign country’s interests above Americans’ and called that impossible to support.
Trump’s war with Iran earlier this year hardened Carlson’s split with the GOP after months of clashes, including his public apology for having campaigned for Trump.
35 years after backing Republicans, Carlson said he also will not support Democrats, underscoring a broader strain inside the right as polling turns against the conflict.
