Media personality Tucker Carlson may have apologized for supporting President Donald Trump, but the women on “The View” are not buying it.
Carlson’s apology — made on “Tucker Carlson Show” — was one of the Hot Topics discussed on Tuesday’s show, per Entertainment Weekly.
Moderator Whoopi Goldberg started the conversation by asking, “Do you know who just lost one of his biggest supporters over the ongoing war in Iran? Far-right commentator Tucker Carlson says he regrets ever helping put you-know-who in the White House.”
The show then played a portion of Carlson’s apology.
In the footage, Carlson said that “everyone who supported [Trump]” is now “implicated in this for sure.”
He added, “It’s not enough to say, ‘Well, I changed my mind’ or, ‘This is bad, I’m out.’ It’s very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now.”
“I do think it’s a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. We’ll be tormented by it for a long time. I will be. And I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional,” he added.
Joy Behar chimed in, “Oh, please,” as former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin added, “Whatever. I don’t believe him. He’s not getting a bear hug from me. The world’s on fire, and you can’t just say, ‘Oopsies!'”
Behar said she felt Carlson had “what they call liar’s remorse” and criticized his coverage of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the United States Capital.
“He’s lied about everything, so he needs to make a list of all the things he got wrong — not just, ‘Sorry!'” Behar said.

Sara Haines said Carlson would “say anything” to generate “clicks and money” for his platform.
“It does not matter what they’re saying,” Haines said, pointing out that he recently associated with controversial personality Nick Fuentes and “also interviewed Russian president Putin [and] let him spread propaganda and did not push back.”
“That man just needs to disappear,” Haines said.
Former Trump White House staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin called Carlson “vile” and “dangerous.”
“I don’t think this is a true about-face,” Griffin said, adding she felt his apology is “about clicks and money.”
