conservative commentator Tucker Carlson Recently expressed remorse for his previous support for the President of the United States Donald Trump. He even admitted that he was “bitter” about his role in the Trump administration’s political rise.
Carlson made the remarks during a candid conversation with his brother on his podcast Barkley Carlson. He even publicly apologized for his influence on American voters.
“I do think it’s like a moment of wrestling with our own conscience. You know, we’re going to be tortured by it for a long time. I will, I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people. It wasn’t intentional. That’s what I’m going to say,” Carlson said.
Carlson’s previous relationship with Trump included writing personal speeches and campaigns for the president. He now says his supporters, including himself, must take responsibility for the current political landscape.
Carlson even questioned Trump’s temper, admitting that certain “signs of poor character” were evident but ignored by his supporters.
“The question does immediately arise, like, what is this? Was this the plan all along? You don’t want to be a conspiracy nut, but, like, there were clear signs of low character. We know that. But that’s not the case… There are a lot of people with low character who act better than their character,” Carlson said.
“I’ve always liked Trump but still feel sorry for him, as I do for all slaves”
Earlier this month, Trump lashed out at Carlson on social media, writing: “Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn’t even finish college, was a broken man when he was fired from Fox and has never been the same. Maybe he should see a good psychiatrist!”

Carlson even admitted in a recent interview that he was “shocked” by Trump’s warning that “entire civilization will die tonight” without a deal with Tehran. “I’ve always liked Trump, but I still feel sorry for him, as I do for all slaves,” Carlson said in a separate interview with Newsmax, adding that the president “can’t make his own decisions” and remains “besieged by other forces.”
