Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., this week stated that she was exploring the idea of launching a third party, following her high-profile break with President Donald Trump.

Greene left office before the completion of her term after a string of policy disagreements with the administration, most notably over foreign conflicts. The former lawmaker told Piers Morgan on Tuesday that she was considering a third-player.

“I think there’s a group of us that if we decide to align, we could launch a true America-focused party that doesn’t fall into the traps of Democrats or Republicans, but could align some serious players from the right and the left,” she said. “It’s difficult to launch a third party, so the reality is this isn’t something that gets off the ground in just a couple of campaign cycles."

Greene is one of several formerly Republican conservative firebrands who have broken with the party over its perceived reneging on campaign promises and drift toward the moderate wing of Republicans in terms of policy.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has also broken with the Trump administration over the Iran war.
