Another prominent figure in politics has defected from Donald Trump. Tucker Carlson was once a strong advocate for the President, but in a stunning turn of events, he is expressing regret for that prior endorsement. The political commentator has close ties to Trump. Previously, his brother Buckley had served as a speechwriter for the POTUS.
Tucker recently had his brother on his podcast to discuss the situation under Trump today. The pair are ruing the fact they previously supported the real estate mogul, while owning it as a mistake for them. “We’re implicated in this, for sure,” said Tucker.
The former Fox News host has apologized for “misleading people”
Tucker and Buckley have had enough of President Trump. On Monday’s episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, the former Fox News host said that he was sorry for “misleading people” about the POTUS. Not only did Tucker admit that endorsing the President was a mistake, but he took responsibility for it on his show. “You and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now,” Tucker told Buckley.
Tensions have been very high between Tucker and the President for a while. In early March, the political commentator blasted the POTUS for going to war with Iran, calling it “disgusting and evil.” Tucker’s son, also named Buckley stepped down as Deputy Press Secretary for Vice President JD Vance earlier this month. Also, this month, the President blasted Tucker, saying that he’s someone with a low IQ.
Tucker shared plenty of honest views about the President on Monday’s show. He admitted that, in his eyes, he’s a low-character person who he believes couldn’t outperform that. The handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files is another issue Tucker has taken with the POTUS.
This year, Trump’s following appears to be decreasing. Marjorie Taylor Greene turned on him amid the Epstein files controversy. Joe Rogan also appeared to be distancing himself from the President for the controversial actions of ICE agents in Minneapolis.
TELL US – WILL TUCKER CARLSON’S BETRAYAL OF DONALD TRUMP CAUSE MORE OF THE PRESIDENT’S SUPPORTERS TO DESERT HIM?
