Tucker Carlson Apologizes for Helping Elect Trump, Saying He ‘Misled People’

The on-record mea culpa underscores a growing conservative-media break over Trump’s Iran war.

Overview

  • Carlson, on his podcast episode released Monday, told listeners he will be tormented by his support for Trump and said he is sorry for misleading people.
  • Speaking with his brother Buckley Carlson, a former Trump speechwriter, he said they and millions of supporters share responsibility for what is happening now.
  • Buckley Carlson urged lawmakers to consider the 25th Amendment if the country is suffering great and lasting damage, while Tucker stopped short of endorsing that step.
  • Trump has fired back on Truth Social in recent weeks, calling Carlson a low IQ person and highly overrated, keeping the feud active as Carlson escalates criticism of the Iran war.
  • The fallout has reached Carlson’s family and the broader right, as his son left a press job with Vice President JD Vance last week and other conservative media figures like Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have split with Trump over Iran.
