Marjorie Taylor Greene joins Tucker Carlson in ditching the GOP

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Monday evening that she's ditching the Republican Party, following conservative commentator Tucker Carlson out the door.

Why it matters: The former Trump loyalist is part of a growing group of conservatives who believe the president's foreign policy has gone astray.

What they're saying: "Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party," Taylor Greene wrote in a post on X Monday.

• "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."
• "But we are DONE with the America LAST Republican Party," she said.

Catch up quick: Carlson said during a podcast interview that gained traction on Monday that he's "out" of the GOP after vocally defending it for 35 years.

• "And if I'm out, then I think a lot of other people are out," he said, adding that Trump's foreign policy in the Middle East doesn't serve America's interests.
• Greene, who resigned from Congress in November, told Axios last year that she wouldn't become an independent, despite being frustrated with both Democrats and the GOP.
