A former Republican representative from Georgia said Monday that she will stop supporting the Republican Party. The announcement came after a conservative commentator criticized Republican leaders for backing U.S. military involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran. The commentator described the party's conduct as "treasonous" and said it had lost its moral compass.
"Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party," the former representative wrote. "There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country. That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either.
" The commentator stated he had defended the party for 35 years but could no longer do so because its actions were "amoral" and failed to represent voters, citizens, and the nation.
Background The former representative has previously disagreed with Republican leadership over U.S. support for Israel and has pushed for the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. She has also had a public disagreement with President Trump.
