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 ?

    No raindrop is. The flood is a consequence of the land’s ability to drain water relative to the size of the deluge. Blaming individual raindrops is foolish.

      My bad for posting a metaphor on Lemmy. Are you doing a bit right now, like autism blackface or something? Did the Big Bang Theory send you?

        Maybe he’s doing a metaphor too? I keep trying to piece it together: “so like the landscape, yeah, is like america, right? No wait, is it democracy? Hmm… Is this guy just talking about actual stormwater mitigation?”

          Nah I’m pretty sure I’m just a lifelong social misfit who only befriends the neurodivergent and can’t handle repetitive noises, same as any regular guy really.
