At one time, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson was a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump.
Now, he is apologizing for doing so.
Tucker spoke with his brother, Buckley Carlson, who previously wrote speeches for Trump, on “The Tucker Carlson Show” Monday.
“You wrote speeches for him, I campaigned for him. I mean, we’re implicated in this, for sure,” Tucker Carlson said to his brother. “It’s not enough to say, ‘Well I changed my mind,’ or like, ‘Oh this is bad, I’m out.’ It’s like in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now.”
“Yes,” Buckley replied.
“So I do think it’s like a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. You know, we’ll be tormented by it for a long time,” Tucker Carlson continued. “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.”
Watch:
Trump has recently attacked Tucker Carlson he became increasingly critical of the Trump administration. Of note is its handling of the Epstein files and the president’s war against Iran.
This month, the president called Carlson “a Low IQ person,” “stupid,” and “highly overrated” in several Truth Social rants.
Trump has also attacked former allies, including Megyn Kelly, Alex Jones, and Candace Owens.
Carlson responded to Trump’satacks, stating, “I’ve always liked Trump and still feel sorry for him, as I do for all slaves… He’s hemmed in by other forces. He can’t make his own decisions. It’s awful to watch.”
Carlson’s son Buckley Carlson – who shares the same name as his uncle – left his job as Vice President JD Vance’s deputy press secretary last week after Trump’s repeated attacks against his father.
