Tucker Carlson says he regrets backing Donald Trump and is ‘tormented by it’

Podcaster admits he ‘misled’ supporters as his rift with the US president deepens over the Iran war

“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 ?

    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.
