Marjorie Taylor Greene announces departure from the Republican Party

Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced on Monday evening that she is leaving the Republican Party, following conservative commentator Tucker Carlson's similar decision. Greene stated that she is part of a growing group of conservatives who believe that former President Trump's foreign policy has deviated from their expectations. In a post on X, she expressed frustration with the Republican Party, saying, "There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country. That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either." Greene emphasized that they are "DONE with the America LAST Republican Party." Carlson, during a podcast interview, mentioned that he is also leaving the GOP after supporting it for 35 years, indicating that he believes many others may follow suit due to dissatisfaction with Trump's foreign policy in the Middle East. Greene, who resigned from Congress in November, previously stated that she would not become an independent despite her frustrations with both major parties.
