Tucker Carlson sent shockwaves through conservative politics after declaring he is done supporting Republican politicians — and the ladies of The View wasted no time tearing into him.
The former Fox News firebrand, 57, made the eyebrow-raising comments during a recent appearance on the Can’t Be Censored podcast, where he said there was “no chance” he would continue backing the Republican Party.
Carlson, long one of the most powerful voices in conservative media, made it clear he was not jumping ship to the Democrats either. But his blunt comments still landed like a political grenade.
“How could I or any American voter support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States?” Carlson asked. “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.”
The comments immediately sparked backlash, with critics wondering whether Carlson was truly breaking from the GOP — or simply trying to reshape his own lane in conservative politics.
On the Tuesday, June 23, episode of The View, the co-hosts pounced.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, who worked in Donald Trump’s White House during his first term, said she supports people changing their views but accused Carlson of refusing to say plainly who he is really upset with.
“Both Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson … really pointed out the reason they’re breaking with Trump,” Griffin said. “Yes, the war, but they say because Israel has too much influence on politics, Israel is controlling the president.”
Then she challenged Carlson and Greene to aim their criticism directly at Trump instead of blaming outside forces.
“Don’t point to Israel or point to J.D. Vance,” Griffin said. “It’s Donald Trump you have a problem with, and say it with your full chest.”
Sara Haines also jumped in, claiming Carlson already knew exactly who Trump was when he voted for him.
Sunny Hostin took the harshest swing, blasting Carlson over his past support for Trump and launching into a personal attack on the president, calling him, in her view, “a racist,” “a homophobe,” “a malignant narcissist,” and “an anti-Semite.”
But Griffin was not buying Carlson’s dramatic political breakup.
She predicted the conservative commentator would eventually find his way back to the GOP when election season heats up again.
“Tucker Carlson is going to be back with Republicans as soon as there’s another election, and he’s going to appear on stage,” Griffin said. “He’s going to follow where the money is.”
She added, “I do think he’s one of these folks who goes where the wind blows.”
Carlson’s comments come as parts of the conservative movement continue to clash over foreign policy, America First priorities and whether Republican leaders are listening closely enough to their own voters.
And Carlson, who has built a massive audience by taking on both parties, appears to be positioning himself as a voice for voters who feel betrayed by Washington’s political machine.
Still, despite the speculation, Carlson insists he has no plans to run for president in 2028.
During a livestream with Alex Jones, Carlson shut down the idea of launching a presidential campaign himself.
“I don’t want to run for president,” he said.
But he did leave the door open to playing some kind of role in the political future.
“I do want to be involved in offering an option of some kind,” Carlson continued. “I don’t know what that would look like, but it’s not democracy when, no matter who you vote for, you get the same result.”
Whether Carlson is done with the GOP for good — or just sending a warning shot to Republican leaders — remains to be seen.
But one thing is clear: his latest comments have rattled the political world, fired up his critics and put Republican power players on notice.
