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 ?

    Tucker Carlson draws scorn for new details over demonic attack: ‘I’m not embarrassed’
    Carlson confirmed to The Christian Post on Halloween last year that he believes he was “physically mauled” by an unseen force while he was sleeping on Feb. 20, 2023.

    “Ephesians 6 is real,” Carlson told CP at the time, referencing the chapter in the New Testament that teaches mankind is engaged in warfare “against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”

    These fucking religious nutbag grifters

      Anyone else seeing the almost perfect irony of a Christian news publication’s name converting to CP?

      what if this is how they explain trump over the next 10 years (barring complete take over) - demonic attack (bonus points if they work AI into the narrative).

      Sounds crazy when my brain is framed as it was five years ago, but sounds disgustingly plausible in 2026.
