Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a photo on X announcing she has joined a new movement with Tucker Carlson and accused President Trump of having "betrayed us all" by reversing his pledge to avoid foreign wars. The image included Rep. Thomas Massie and former NCTC director Joe Kent, along with their spouses, and was taken at Carlson’s Maine studio. Massie has previously advocated releasing Jeffrey Epstein files and lost a primary to a Trump-backed candidate, while Kent resigned from the NCTC over opposition to military action. The movement’s structure and next steps remain unspecified, prompting speculation about whether this will become a formal political effort.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) announced on X that she has joined a new movement with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, accusing President Donald Trump of breaking his promise to avoid foreign wars.
What Happened
On August 1, Greene posted a photo from a gathering at Carlson’s Maine studio showing herself, Carlson, Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent, and their spouses. In the post she framed the meeting as the launch of a new "America First" initiative and sharply criticized Trump.
“We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise,” the post read. “But he's betrayed us all. Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center. The movement has begun.”
Who Was Present
The photograph shows Greene seated with her husband, Brian Glenn, and Tucker Carlson around a wooden dining table at Carlson’s studio. Also pictured were Rep. Thomas Massie and his wife, Carolyn Moffa, and Joe Kent and his wife, Heather Kent.
Background And Context
According to reporting by HuffPost, Thomas Massie previously pushed for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files in coordination with Greene and later lost a primary contest to Trump-backed Ed Gallrein. Reporting included with the original article says Joe Kent, who served as director of the National Counterterrorism Center beginning in July 2025, resigned earlier this year in opposition to President Trump’s decision to attack Iran.
Greene’s post did not lay out a formal organizational structure or a detailed action plan for the movement, leaving open whether this group will evolve into a formal political party, an organized opposition bloc, or a media-centered initiative around Carlson’s platform.
Why It Matters
The gathering is notable because it brings together several high-profile conservative figures who have publicly criticized or broken with Trump. Observers and political reporters are watching to see whether the loose coalition translates into an institutional challenge within the conservative movement or remains a rhetorical and media-driven campaign.
