‘The movement has begun’: MTG and Tucker tease new party next steps with strategy meeting photo

by

BS BRIEF:

  • Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, former Rep. Thomas Massie, and former Trump official Joe Kent are signaling that plans for a new political movement are accelerating. Greene posted a photo from a strategy meeting Saturday with the message: “The movement has begun.”
  • The group says its break centers on foreign policy, arguing President Trump abandoned his promise to avoid new foreign wars. Carlson has spent weeks publicly discussing his desire to help build a viable third party focused on an “America First” agenda.
  • Even if a new party never materializes, the public split exposes growing divisions inside the broader America First coalition ahead of the midterms.

MTG, TUCKER AND MASSIE SIGNAL NEW POLITICAL MOVEMENT: “THE MOVEMENT HAS BEGUN”

The rumblings of a third political party may be getting louder.

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene gathered Saturday with Tucker Carlson, former Rep. Thomas Massie, former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent and their spouses for what appeared to be an informal strategy session—complete with chocolate chip cookies, glasses of milk and a message that immediately ignited political speculation.

“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 on X.

She ended the post with four words that quickly spread across social media:

“The movement has begun.”

The meeting didn’t come out of nowhere.

For weeks, Carlson has openly floated the idea of creating a new political party, arguing that Republicans and Democrats have become indistinguishable on issues such as war and foreign policy.

“There’s going to be a third party, and I’m going to do everything I can to bring that about,” Carlson said during a recent interview. “I’m going to help build a third party.”

Carlson has also said he no longer plans to support either major party in this year’s elections, arguing Washington has become “a one-party state posing as a democracy.”

The common thread uniting Greene, Carlson, Massie and Kent has been their criticism of Trump’s decision to strike Iran earlier this year.

They contend the administration abandoned its “America First” commitment to avoid new foreign military conflicts—a charge the White House has repeatedly rejected. President Trump has defended the operation as necessary to protect American interests and has dismissed claims that his foreign policy is driven by outside influences.

No formal party has been announced, no platform has been released and no candidates have declared an intention to run under a new banner.

Still, the symbolism of the gathering wasn’t lost on political observers.

The photo featured some of the most recognizable figures in the populist, non-interventionist wing of the conservative movement—all sitting around the same table discussing what comes next.
