Tucker Carlson says he will help build a third political party in the US, declaring that the country is 'a one-party state posing as a democracy' that 'needs to be broken', in an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review published on 1 July, four months before the 3 November midterm elections.
The former Fox News host ruled out running himself. 'I don't want to be a candidate,' he said. The announcement extends his 22 June declaration that he was done voting for Republicans, a party he accused of putting a foreign country's interests above those of American citizens.
