Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is joining a growing chorus of former allies of President Donald Trump who are expressing frustration with the Republican Party, particularly over foreign policy and the administration’s handling of the conflict with Iran.

In a social media post Monday, Greene voiced support for comments made by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who recently declared that he could no longer support the Republican Party following his split with the Trump administration over U.S. military operations against Iran.

“Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party,” Greene wrote.

“There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country,” she continued. “That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either. But we are DONE with the America LAST Republican Party.”

The remarks highlight continuing tensions within the conservative movement over foreign policy, military intervention, and the direction of the Republican Party following the war with Iran.

Carlson made similar comments during an appearance on the “Can’t Be Censored” podcast, where he explained that his disagreement with the administration’s handling of the conflict had fundamentally altered his relationship with the GOP.

“I’m out,” Carlson said.

He went on to suggest that his decision may reflect broader dissatisfaction among portions of the Republican base.

“And if I’m out, then I think a lot of other people are out, too,” he added.

Greene has increasingly distanced herself from the administration since leaving Congress earlier this year. According to the report, disagreements over foreign conflicts and the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files have contributed to the growing divide.

The former Georgia lawmaker has been among the most outspoken Republican critics of U.S. involvement in the Iran conflict, a position that has frequently placed her at odds with members of her own party.

One of the most dramatic moments in that dispute came after President Trump warned that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran failed to comply with U.S. demands regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Following those remarks, Greene called for Trump to be removed from office through the 25th Amendment, a striking escalation in her criticism of a president she once strongly supported.

Her recent comments suggest that her frustrations extend beyond individual policy disagreements and may now involve broader questions about her political identity.

In an interview with Politico in April, Greene acknowledged that she was uncertain whether she still considered herself a Republican.

“I don’t really know if I do consider myself one right now,” she said at the time.

Greene indicated that she has increasingly viewed herself as politically independent, though she noted she had not yet formally changed her affiliation.

“I would say I’m definitely leaning more calling myself an independent,” she said. “I haven’t changed yet. But I will probably think pretty deeply about doing that.”

The comments underscore a growing debate within conservative circles over the future of the Republican Party and the role foreign conflicts should play in American policy. While Greene and Carlson both stressed that their dissatisfaction with the GOP does not mean they are moving toward the Democratic Party, their statements reflect a widening rift among conservatives over the costs, consequences, and direction of U.S. involvement abroad.

Whether those disagreements remain isolated to a handful of prominent voices or evolve into a larger movement within the Republican coalition remains an open question. For now, Greene’s latest remarks signal that the internal debate over war, foreign policy, and party loyalty is far from settled.
