Tucker Carlson Apologizes for Helping to Elect Trump

He said he felt implicated in Trump’s rise and apologized for misleading supporters, citing policy rifts over Iran and the Epstein files.

  • On Monday, TV host Tucker Carlson apologized for his role in electing President Donald Trump during a podcast appearance, telling his brother Buckley Carlson he feels "tormented" by his past support.
  • Policy disagreements regarding the Iran war and the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein fractured the once-strong alliance between Carlson and Trump over recent months.
  • Reflecting on his past endorsement, Carlson admitted he ignored "signs of low character" and stated, "I want to say I'm sorry for misleading people," while questioning Trump's loyalty to anyone beyond wealthy donors.
  • Responding to the criticism, President Trump dismissed Carlson as "overrated" in recent public statements and labeled him and other conservative commentators who spoke out as "losers."
  • Carlson has increasingly distanced himself from the MAGA movement, expressing opposition to Israel's military actions in Iran and suggesting the U.S. should "detach" from Jerusalem to treat it like any other ally.
