He said it was 'political bullying' as he had campaigned against women joining the Marines, which he claimed lowered physical standards.
But security sources said he was grilled over his extremist views and links to far-right groups.
Carr serves with 43 Commando, guarding the UK's Trident 2 missiles and nuclear submarines at HMNB Clyde, Faslane, in Argyll and Bute.
The Sun understands he is a member of the far-right Homeland Party — which splintered from a neo-Nazi party in 2023.
Speaking on YouTube Carr said: 'I am a member of a political party.
'I don't think it's their business or anyone's business to know what that is, but know that it isn't the main political party.
'It isn't Labour.'
Carr lost his security clearance and will work from home pending an investigation.
Police Scotland declined to comment.

What happened to Piers Morgan?
There was great fanfare when Piers Morgan re-entered the world of television three years ago to front a new prime-time show on Rupert Murdoch's TalkTV. Morgan framed the move as a fightback against cancel culture, a return to free speech, and a declaration of independence from the constraints of legacy media. 'I'm delighted to now be returning to live television,' he announced in the show's trailer, promising to 'cancel the cancel culture' and to bring 'lively, vigorous debate' and even, in his words, the increasingly taboo three-letter word: fun. What began as an ambitious, if characteristically self-aggrandising, venture has since devolved into something much darker and altogether more degraded. TalkTV itself has folded as a linear broadcast channel, unable to match the traction of rival GB News. Morgan was given advance leave to migrate his programme to his own YouTube channel, an arrangement that let him present the move as an embrace of the future, aligning himself with the likes of Joe Rogan or the post-Fox Tucker Carlson.

Boulder firebombing suspect charged with 118 criminal counts
Soliman faces over a dozen attempted murder charges, two counts of using explosive devices, over a dozen counts of attempting to use an incendiary device, five counts of assault on someone over the age of 70 and one count of cruelty towards animals. Those charges could add up to as many as 384 years in prison, according to Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty. More state and federal charges could be added as the investigation into the Boulder, Colorado attack at a pedestrian mall continues, authorities have said. Soliman appeared in court behind a transparent parition where he was asked to shake his head or nod in response to questions. Judge Nancy Salomone ordered him back in court on July 15. The June 1 attack, in which Soliman is accused of hurling Molotov cocktails and using a makeshift flamethrower, targeted Run for Their Lives, a group advocating for the release of the hostages held in Gaza since the assault on Israel by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023. Authorities say Soliman, who's lived in Colorado Springs after coming to the U.S. on a tourist visa in late 2022 and stayed after it expired, injured 15 people ages 52 to 88, with burns ranging from serious to minor. The 45-year-old Soliman said "he wanted them to all die . . . He said he would go back and do it again and had no regret doing what he did," Boulder Detective John Sailer wrote in court papers. Soliman explained that, to him, anyone who supported the existence of Israel on "our land" is Zionist. He defined "our land" as Palestine, court documents said. Soliman threw two of the 18 Molotov cocktails he'd brought with him to the pedestrian mall, authorities said, yelling "Free Palestine. A federal affidavit charging Soliman with a hate crime and attempted murder says he learned about the demonstration from an online search. He planned the attack for a year and waited for his daughter to graduate from high school before executing it, according to the affidavit. He hoped to use a gun and had taken classes, but his immigration status prevented him from purchasing a firearm, the affidavit says. Instead, court documents say, he taught himself to make Molotov cocktails from YouTube videos. No one knew about his plans, he told investigators, though he left a journal behind for his family. Soliman's wife and five children are currently in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials; the Trump administration plans to have them deported.

Scottish Labour win Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election after stunning victory over SNP
The result comes after one of the most bitter by-elections in Scotland in decades. Scottish Labour have recorded a stunning victory in the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election. Davy Russell will be the new MSP for the constituency after defeating the SNP's Katy Loudon. Reform UK, who were accused of running a racist campaign, were a distant third. Labour taking the seat from the SNP is a massive boost for party leader Anas Sarwar ahead of next year's Holyrood election. Prime Minister Keir Starmer had stayed away from the seat over concerns he was not seen as an asset. But Labour sources say an effective ground operation, allied to Russell's popularity with local voters, were key issues. The by-election was triggered by the death of the SNP's Christina McKelvie.
