Tucker Carlson, the conservative commentator and former Fox News host who recently split with the Republican Party, said he wants to help create a third party.

In an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review published Wednesday, Carlson said the United States’ two main parties, Republicans and Democrats, are “in lockstep solidarity with each other.”

“That’s not a democracy,” Carlson said. “That’s a one-party state posing as a democracy, and it needs to be broken, and there’s going to be a third party, and I’m going to do everything I can to bring that about.”
