Tucker Carlson declared Republicans traitors: what sparked the scandal.

According to ТСН: Famed American conservative commentator and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson unexpectedly voiced sharp criticism of the Republican Party, calling its members "traitors." This occurred during his interview with podcaster Sean Ryan and is a testament to the worsening divide within the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement.

"They are simply unnecessary"

Carlson emphasized that Republicans "have almost reached the point where they are simply unnecessary," and he needs to "stand against them."

"I hate them so much because they are such traitors!"

In particular, his outrage was triggered by the party's indifference to social and cultural issues. He criticized Republicans for not responding to his calls regarding the "freaking shopping malls," karate schools, and vape shops, which he believes distort the public landscape.

He also expressed dissatisfaction with politicians' unwillingness to fight against OnlyFans content, which, in his opinion, "makes women" into prostitutes, and the ignoring of the problem of child violence.

"You can't take my tax money and then refuse to do something against child violence. Is [my reaction] madness?"

Division in MAGA and election losses

Carlson's statement comes against the backdrop of rising tensions within the conservative wing of the party and has generated considerable resonance. Earlier, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her exit from Congress, distancing herself from Donald Trump, particularly due to his behavior in the Epstein case.

Analysts note that the disunity among Republicans plays into the hands of Democrats, who are ramping up pressure ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Democrats hope to reclaim a majority in the House of Representatives, where Republicans currently hold only a slim advantage (5 seats).

Moreover, Tucker Carlson, known for his interview with Putin during the conflict, previously criticized US President Donald Trump's decision to support Israel's actions against Iran.

This situation illustrates the growing dissatisfaction among a segment of the conservative electorate, which may affect future elections. The Republican Party faces significant challenges due to internal contradictions, which may become a decisive factor in upcoming electoral campaigns.
