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 ?

    Fuck him, fuck them all. They knew exactly what they were doing and getting into. But once there’s signs that the ship is sinking they all jump off like the rats they are. And if not and that’s a big if not, then maybe he is just a “Low IQ person”.

      He was just sticking up for trump last week. I think it was over Iran. This is temporary and for the left to have something to be distracted from. Trump is in the low 30s in approval, that’s covid bad.
