Video Undercuts Tucker Carlson’s Denial of ‘Antichrist’ Remark About Trump

Overview

• In a New York Times interview, Lulu Garcia-Navarro confronted Tucker Carlson over a past on-air line asking whether President Trump could be the Antichrist, and he denied saying the phrase as she read it back to him.
• After the clip of his show circulated, Carlson offered a conditional apology, saying that if a video showed him saying it, he was sorry and that the words did not reflect a settled view.
• Hosts of The View mocked the denial during their broadcast, with Sara Haines saying “Yes you did, boo” and Whoopi Goldberg noting that anything said on air is now easily found on video.
• Conservative commentator Scott Jennings criticized Carlson on his radio show, praised Garcia-Navarro’s questioning, and played the footage to argue the denial collapsed under direct evidence.
• Carlson later framed his remark as tentative and hard to define, and the episode now fuels broader coverage of his split from Trump-aligned politics and how viral “receipts” enforce on-camera accountability.
