Disgraced former television host Tucker Carlson has announced that he has left the Republican Party. It should be met with a resounding "good riddance," and an acknowledgment that President Donald Trump has pushed extremists out of the GOP while Democrats have embraced their own.
Carlson made his announcement on his show, claiming that "I would not support the Republican Party. There's no chance I would support the Republican Party," because, "at this point, how could you support, 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?"
