Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a photo of a meeting with Tucker Carlson, Rep. Thomas Massie, Joe Kent and her husband Brian Glenn as they discuss forming a new political party. Greene proclaimed, “The movement has begun,” framing the effort as an "America First" challenge to the current two‑party system. Carlson has said he is working to help build a third party and has criticized perceived foreign influence on U.S. politics, a claim President Trump has disputed. The informal planning session was captured with a spread of cookies and milk.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson and Thomas Massie Meet to Discuss New 'America First' Party: 'The Movement Has Begun'

Marjorie Taylor Greene shared a photo showing herself, her husband Brian Glenn, Tucker Carlson, Rep. Thomas Massie (R‑KY) and others gathered around a table as they discussed plans for a potential new political party.
The image, posted by Greene on Saturday, shows Carlson seated at the head of a wooden table flanked by Massie and Joe Kent, along with Kent's wife and Greene's husband. The group appears upbeat and focused on a stated goal of challenging the established two‑party system in the United States.
“We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise. But he's betrayed us all,” Greene wrote, adding that the group’s pledge is, “America First for all Americans, right, left, and center.”
Greene closed her post with the declaration: “The movement has begun.” The casual spread on the table — notably a batch of chocolate chip cookies and glasses of milk — underscored the informal nature of the gathering.
Where This Fits In
The photo surfaced about a month after Carlson said he was working to “help build” a new third party, arguing that both Republicans and Democrats are preoccupied with foreign policy while the lives of ordinary Americans suffer. Carlson publicly announced in June that he was done voting for Republicans — a position Greene soon echoed.
“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,” Carlson said, referring to what he described as undue foreign influence on U.S. politics. “It's not possible to vote for people like that, and I'm not going to.”
Carlson has repeatedly criticized Israel and alleged that elements supporting Israel have influenced U.S. political decisions; he claimed Trump's 2024 campaign received substantial support from donors he described as having “loyalty to Israel,” a contention the president has publicly denied. In March, President Trump responded to discussions of the Iran conflict by saying, “If anything, I might've forced Israel's hand.”
Also present was Joe Kent, who earlier this year left government service in protest over U.S. policy regarding Iran. The photograph and Greene's post were first circulated on Mediaite.
