Tucker Carlson blasted President Donald Trump and his administration with a three-word message —“You have failed.”
Carlson’s words came during Wednesday’s “The Tucker Carlson Show,” when the host Fox News’ Mark Levin.
Levin has been a vocal supporter of the Iran war, which started Feb. 28.
Before the launch of Operation Epic Fury, Levin and Carlson separately went to the White House where they lobbied Trump for and against the war, respectively.
Carlson accused Levin of wanting to censor Americans who criticize the war.
Carlson continued , stating Trump has abandoned everyday Americans — and even has contempt for them.
“You hate people like that,” Carlson said, addressing Trump. “And there may be other reasons you hate them, but you certainly hate them because they are a reminder of how you have failed. You have not done a good job running this country. You don’t even care to try. You’d rather run the world or the empire.”
“You don’t want to improve Baltimore. You don’t care about Gary, Indiana. Rural America makes you sick… Normal leaders would ask themselves, ‘Why are people mad? What are they dissatisfied with? How can I help them? They’re clearly in pain,’” he added.
Carlson said the war on Iran is the most significant thing “they” have done, but it is not a success.
“They’ve never looked inward once in 10 years,” he continued. “And now they’ve reached the point of maximum frustration, where the biggest thing they’ve ever done, which is try to regime-change the Iranian government, and it hasn’t worked. That’s the biggest thing they’ve ever done. They staked everything on that. And you should just know that at this point, now that that’s not working out, they will not be mad at themselves.”
They’re gonna be mad at you for not liking it or appreciating it or for talking about it at all. Or for holding on to your outdated expectations about what life in this country was like then and should be now,” Carlson said.
Watch:
Carlson apologized last week for endorsing Trump.
“You know, we’ll be tormented by it for a long time,” he said while talking with his brother Buckley Carlson, who also backed the president. “I will be, and I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people, and it was not intentional. That’s all I’ll say.”
