Tucker Carlson quits GOP: ‘I don’t know what I’m going to do’

Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson said on a podcast that “there's no chance I would support the Republican Party” ahead of the November midterm elections, dismissing the political affiliation he's defended as a pundit for decades.

Sean Patrick Maloney, Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) and CNN political director David Chalian weigh in on Carlson's remarks and how opposition to Israel is playing an increasing role in modern politics.
