America First Coalition Forms - But It's Missing Someone (Kim Iversen)

The MAGA divorce is now official. Marjorie Taylor Greene declares Trump "betrayed us all" on his no-more-foreign-wars promise and announces "the movement has begun" — flanked by Tucker Carlson and the new America First coalition, with Thomas Massie reminding everyone the Second Amendment exists "to keep a tyrannical government in check." MTG draws her line on Epstein too: "I'm not defending rapists for you, Mr. President." The counterattack comes fast: Ben Shapiro mocks the coalition with "we demand to be taken seriously," while Speaker Johnson warns Republicans behind closed doors what's really at stake in the midterms — Democrats coming for Trump's family, his cabinet, his donors, and "half of you in this room." Kim breaks down the split: is this the birth of a real post-Trump America First movement, or a fracture the establishment will exploit? Either way, the old guard just lost its monopoly on the base.



Kim points out that the America First group needs leftists, so it does not split the Republican vote, and she's right to exclude any leftists that still support the Covid jabs, or who rabidly pushed it.
