Summary
Joe Kent said he, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie each pressed Tucker Carlson to run for president, even though Carlson has publicly said he will not.
Kent told The Young Turks the push reflects their view that Vice President JD Vance is too compromised to carry their wing of the movement.
Tuesday, Carlson posted a photo with Greene, Kent and Massie saying “MAGA was betrayed” and promising more at 6 PM ET Wednesday, fueling speculation about a coordinated political effort.
That effort appears tied to a break with the Trump administration over the Iran war; Kent resigned from his counterterrorism post after arguing Iran was not a U.S. threat.
Kent said the group is now trying to build a broad coalition that could appeal to the left, with a new political party still possible.
