Media personality Tucker Carlson may have apologized for supporting President Donald Trump, but the women on âThe Viewâ are not buying it.
Carlsonâs apology â made on âTucker Carlson Showâ â was one of the Hot Topics discussed on Tuesdayâs show, per Entertainment Weekly.
Moderator Whoopi Goldberg started the conversation by asking, âDo 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.â
The show then played a portion of Carlsonâs apology.
In the footage, Carlson said that âeveryone who supported â is now âimplicated in this for sure.â
He added, âItâs not enough to say, âWell, I changed my mindâ or, âThis is bad, Iâm out.â Itâs very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now.â
âI do think itâs a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. Weâll be tormented by it for a long time. I will be. And I want to say Iâm sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional,â he added.
Joy Behar chimed in, âOh, please,â as former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin added, âWhatever. I donât believe him. Heâs not getting a bear hug from me. The worldâs on fire, and you canât just say, âOopsies!'â
Behar said she felt Carlson had âwhat they call liarâs remorseâ and criticized his coverage of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the United States Capital.
âHeâs lied about everything, so he needs to make a list of all the things he got wrong â not just, âSorry!'â Behar said.

Sara Haines said Carlson would âsay anythingâ to generate âclicks and moneyâ for his platform.
âIt does not matter what theyâre saying,â Haines said, pointing out that he recently associated with controversial personality Nick Fuentes and âalso interviewed Russian president Putin let him spread propaganda and did not push back.â
âThat man just needs to disappear,â Haines said.
Former Trump White House staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin called Carlson âvileâ and âdangerous.â
âI donât think this is a true about-face,â Griffin said, adding she felt his apology is âabout clicks and money.â
