"I'm out": Tucker Carlson says he's done with the GOP

Conservative pundit Tucker Carlson says he's "out" of the Republican Party moving forward, arguing the GOP no longer reflects his views.

Why it matters: The public split underscores growing fractures inside the broad MAGA coalition President Trump built, as his Iran war and handling of the economy continue to divide Republicans.

What they're saying: "I'm out," Carlson said on an episode of the "Can't Be Censored" podcast that aired Thursday but gained traction online Monday.

• "And if I'm out, then I think a lot of other people are out."
• "I would not support the Republican Party. There's no chance I would support the Republican Party," Carlson said, adding that the GOP has "betrayed" voters by prioritizing Israel's national security over America's.
• "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."

Zoom in: Carlson says he's been a fierce defender of the GOP for 35 years, but can no longer do so.

• He says he also won't support Democrats and is unsure how he'll vote moving forward.

Catch up quick: Carlson is among a group of conservatives who believe the U.S. entered the war in Iran at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's urging, a statement Rubio partially backed up shortly after the attacks began.

• Some critics of Carlson have argued his views are antisemitic.
