After the former Fox News host recently broke away from the Republicans for good, the former MAGA supporter is announcing his next step. He wants to found a new party in the USA.
Carlson said this in an interview on Wednesday with the “Columbia Journalism Review”: “I will help set up a third party,” said Carlson. There should be a “serious effort” to find out what would benefit the country. The current parties would be in complete solidarity with each other.
But, Tucker continued, “that’s not a democracy. This is a one-party state masquerading as a democracy and that must be broken.” He is convinced that there will be a third party and that he would do everything to achieve this step.
In the interview, Carlson criticized both President Donald Trump and Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. «We need alternatives. Otherwise we’ll just give up and let the most unscrupulous people rule us,” he says and adds:
«I’m just too young to accept that. We need a third party.”

But he rules out the idea that he could be elected himself: “I don’t want to be a candidate.” (ome)
