Glenn Beck speaks to a gathering at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville, Kentucky, April 5, 2014.

Conservative American talk show host Glenn Beck has announced to quit the US Republican Party.

“I’ve made my decision — I’m out," Beck declared on his radio show on Wednesday. "I’m out of the Republican Party. I am not a Republican; I will not give a dime to the Republican Party. I’m out.”

The former Fox News pundit said he has become disillusioned with the Republicans in recent years over their failure to stand up to the Obama administration over a number of issues.

“All this stuff that they said and they ran and they said they were doing all of these great things and they were going to stand against ObamaCare and illegal immigration — they set us up,” Beck stated.

“They set us up. Enough is enough. They’re torpedoing the Constitution and they’re doing it knowingly,” he added.

He accused the Republicans of “torpedoing the Constitution” and said that “they’re doing it knowingly.”

The founder of the Blaze said that he decided to leave the Republican Party because of its resistance to change.

“So I’m done with them,” he concluded. “Four years ago I was with them. Four years ago I said 'work from the inside: Let’s change it. Let’s get new guys in there.' I think it’s too late.”
