“You know, we’ll be tormented by it for a long time – I will be,” Tucker Carlson said. “And I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional, that’s all I’ll say.”
Though Carlson in 1999 had referred to Trump as “the single most repulsive person on the planet”, he beat most pundits in calling for Trump to be taken seriously before he won his first presidency in 2016.
Trump recently published a social media post calling Carlson “a Low IQ person – Always easy to beat, and highly overrated!!!”
FFS now I agree with Trump ?

In a few months, these people will have always been against Trump, and they’ll hate us when we call them on it, because despite everything they’ve done so far, they still think they’re better off than with a Democrat in charge.
Tucker Carlson doesn’t disagree with anything Trump has done, he’s just smart enough to tell when to jump ship. This is a strategic move
they still think they’re better off than with a Democrat in charge
“I would have voted for Jim Webb” is a thing I’ve heard conservative asshats tell me on a regular basis.
No raindrop thinks they’re to blame for the flood.
No raindrop is. The flood is a consequence of the land’s ability to drain water relative to the size of the deluge. Blaming individual raindrops is foolish.
My bad for posting a metaphor on Lemmy. Are you doing a bit right now, like autism blackface or something? Did the Big Bang Theory send you?
Maybe he’s doing a metaphor too? I keep trying to piece it together: “so like the landscape, yeah, is like america, right? No wait, is it democracy? Hmm… Is this guy just talking about actual stormwater mitigation?”
Perhaps you have the autism. The way you overanalyze everything.
Nah I’m pretty sure I’m just a lifelong social misfit who only befriends the neurodivergent and can’t handle repetitive noises, same as any regular guy really.
I too am very intelligent.
Saw a clip earlier that was coincidentally perfectly topical here: https://imgur.com/gallery/they-knew-they-all-knew-0HTmIvw
I’ll take it. Admitting a mistake is the first step in healing.
The first step in healing is recognizing you even have a wound i guess, but next is cleaning out the wound. Americans have typically just skipped this step in the past and gone straight to believing that recognition was the healing.
“It was not intentional.”
Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you. Don’t you dare try to retcon your selfish, evil, greedy contributions to the suffering of thousands (millions?). No quarter for anyone who harbored these selfish fucks.
Tucker Carsalesman:
- 2003: “Please Buy the Iraq War”
- 2015: “I regret selling you the Iraq War, please buy this Trump”
- 2026: “I Regret selling you this Trump, please buy this white nationalism”
Jesus christ he was around in 2003 ?!
EDIT: HOLY SHIT WHAT?!
CNN (2000–2005) PBS (2004–2005) MSNBC (2005–2008) Fox News (2009–2023)

Looks a lot like Young Sheldon 😂
Tormented… like, by demons ?
Tucker Carlson draws scorn for new details over demonic attack: ‘I’m not embarrassed’
Carlson confirmed to The Christian Post on Halloween last year that he believes he was “physically mauled” by an unseen force while he was sleeping on Feb. 20, 2023.“Ephesians 6 is real,” Carlson told CP at the time, referencing the chapter in the New Testament that teaches mankind is engaged in warfare “against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
These fucking religious nutbag grifters
Anyone else seeing the almost perfect irony of a Christian news publication’s name converting to CP?
what an unfortunate name.
They should rename themselves to Christian Sermon Announcement Mail
what if this is how they explain trump over the next 10 years (barring complete take over) - demonic attack (bonus points if they work AI into the narrative).
Sounds crazy when my brain is framed as it was five years ago, but sounds disgustingly plausible in 2026.
“I didn’t vote for this!”
In case of Tucker, unless he’s ready to dump previously unknown information on his (former) cohorts, I don’t think he can be forgiven. He’s not some small figure, a leftist content creator that did a few mistakes in his career, or a former edgy teen obsessed with “funny slurs”, he is a very well known right-wing talking head.
He’s not trying to pivot, which so many people in this thread are misunderstanding.
The problem with Trump is that he is bowing to Israel, and Tucker is a full Nazi now. This is patently clear if you listen to him. As someone who’s followed Nazi forums for like two decades now, he is speaking Nazi on his show. He is running down all of the absolutely classic Holocaust denier bits.
Forgiveness is for our selves, change must be accepted 🧘
Fuck him, fuck them all. They knew exactly what they were doing and getting into. But once there’s signs that the ship is sinking they all jump off like the rats they are. And if not and that’s a big if not, then maybe he is just a “Low IQ person”.
He’s been a bullshit peddler for his entire career. These are crocodile tears and fake regrets.
I think it’s the same regret that most of the smart cons have. They’re grifters who kept lying and lying to continue their grift, but the eventual outcome was a demented narcissist in office who went out of control and disrupted many of the grifts they were doing in the first place.
They wanted just another smart grifter in office, but years of convincing the dumbest parts of the US voting electorate led to a Frankenstein’s monster.
Seppuku time, Mr.Carlson.
I need this on a T-shirt
Tucker can stuff his apology, this isn’t buyer’s regret, his influence was outsized because of his platform and led to disastrous results.
Never forget what they did, my American compatriots. Never forget.
They lied. They gaslit. They tried to break us.
Never forget.
Every supporter must be held accountable.
“I regret that my grift is no longer profitable.”
I guess he’s just not making as much money / as popular as when he was on TV and hates not being in the spotlight. He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about Trump and never has.
No he is much more popular. He’s just aligning with most of the anti-Zionist anti-trump population in America.
I mean, I’m anti-zionist and anti-trump but I’m certainly not going to start giving him views.
Jon Stewart Single handily taking Cross Fire off the air when Tucker Carlson was a host. Its amazing. The show was cancelled a few months after this interview.
