“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 ?
You must log in or # to comment.
The damage is made, but maybe he’ll be able to turn his conservative fan base against Trump!
Tucker Carlson stopped being your average grifter and started being a genuine national security threat when he literally fucking went to Moscow and personally interviewed Putin about the genocide he’s committing in Ukraine
Of course it was intentional, but I bet he does regret it.
Honestly, who gives a fuck. Disappear Tucker, you empty suit.
Nah, fuck you tucker fuck, we don’t forgive, we don’t forget. You were and still are part of a problem.
Like he would have backed anybody else instead
You know that thing from The Da Vinci Code where Paul Bettany whipped himself?
I’ll take 5000 hours of that, Carlson. Flog yourself for 5000 continuous hours without food, water or sleep, then I will allow you to reclaim the rank of Human.
“I didn’t vote for this!”
I need this on a T-shirt
It is funny when the moron fucks others, like latinos blacks and asians, but then he fucked with my mates! He cryed.
Fuck you Tucker, fuck You.
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 🧘
Seppuku time, Mr.Carlson.
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.
“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.
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
Eh, we have leaked emails from Fox news where Tucker did say he hated Trump and thought he was an idiot during the first admin, not that it stopped him from gargling his balls.
Yeah exactly, because Trump lacks any strategy. Just look how little manufacturing consent went into the Iran war compared to the Iraq war. Trump is so idiotic he says the quiet part out loud because He’s too stupid to understand the point of dog whistles. Carlson wants a competent White Nationalist administration, his issue is with the incompetency.
But even so, whenever in public view, Carlson is very very deliberate and strategic with how he communicates white nationalism sentiments to his audience. He knows exactly the right way to broach topics, which words to hit, ect, in order to get the audience (be it MAGA or Liberals) on his side.
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.
I too am very intelligent.
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?
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.
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?”
It honestly is funny to me either way, because it reads like he’s being straight faced talking a out stormwater mitigation.
But I do think it’s intended to point out a lot of the morons that voted for trump did so for some real reasons, very misguided (and intentionally so by the right wing news apparatus) but real reasons.
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.
