GOP

NY Times -   Tucker Carlson, the conservative media giant, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, the firebrand former member of Congress, said they had formally broken with the Republican Party. The split expands the two conservative luminaries’ feud with President Trump into a broader repudiation of the party they once helped shape. Although both said they would not support Democrats, their break from the G.O.P. could exacerbate party turmoil that threatens to suppress enthusiasm, and participation, in the fall midterms.

“I have been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party,” Mr. Carlson said during a guest appearance on the “Can’t Be Censored” podcast that aired Thursday. “If I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out.”

Ms. Greene followed up with a social media post saying much the same. “Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party,” she said Monday on X. “There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country.”
