Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he plans to help build a third political party, claiming the country’s leaders have stopped focusing on the needs of ordinary Americans.
Speaking with the Columbia Journalism Review, Carlson said he believes there should be a “good-faith effort” to create a political movement centered on improving life for Americans rather than fighting over foreign conflicts.
“I’m going to help build a third party. There should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country,” Carlson said. “I mean, if you make $60,000 a year, you’re degraded. Your life expectancy has gone down, and the promise of your children’s lives is likely gone. No one seems to care. It’s not even a factor.”
He also criticized what he sees as Washington’s focus on overseas issues instead of domestic problems.
“What about Hamas?” Carlson said. “I officially don’t care about Hamas. The U.S. government should have, as its first priority, the welfare of its own people.”
Despite saying he wants to help build a new political party, Carlson said he has no plans to run for office himself.
“I don’t want to be a candidate,” he said.

I think MTG was recently talking about a new party, too. Is Candace on board?
I guess their party motto will be "Blame the Joos". It should appeal to leftards and antisemites, so clearly it could appeal to a lot of Dhimmicrats. The question is how many Republicans will it appeal to?
Maybe their platform will include getting Arabic taught in the public skools?
Its like they are trying to be relevant again.
Aloha Snackbar Party!
Trump was a member of the Reform Party for a while. In 2000 he briefly ran for the Reform Party Presidential nomination with Jess Ventura’s backing.
Carlson and compadres are merely interested in destroying MAGA. Have no doubt of that!
Confidential to Mr. Carlson...
What do you say, time for that brain scan?
The Ross Perot Party?
They'll end up destroying themselves first.
Good.
Can he take the whole mess of FReeper Allahu Akhbar Chorus members with him?
Please?
Not long ago, Elon Musk was planning to start a “third” political party. That went nowhere, and so will Carlson’s.
Join one of them if the two big ones do not appeal to you.
And James CarVILE also wants to start a new party.
Maybe they can get together with George CONway, Bilk Kristol and Adam Kinkstinker and start their new party I’m sure they share many values....
...Especially hatred of Trump and hatred of MAGA.
Let’s just go full Weimar Republic.
The DNC's Hamas wing has that covered.
well that’ll keep him out of trouble and drain the bank accounts of some people who might use it elsewhere
Maybe Cucker should just go back to CNN. He would fit in there perfectly.
.
How many people have we heard that from? 😆
Dream on, Tuck. Maybe you can join MTG and move off into the sunset. You’ve become irrelevant.
