In a striking about-face, former Fox News star Tucker Carlson is now expressing remorse for his long-running support of Donald Trump—and he’s not mincing words about his role in helping elevate him to power.
During a candid moment on “The Tucker Carlson Show,” Carlson sat down with his brother, Buckley Carlson, where the two openly grappled with what they described as a decade of misplaced loyalty. Both acknowledged they weren’t just passive observers—they were active participants.
“You and I… we’re implicated in this,” Carlson admitted, referencing his own campaigning and his brother’s speechwriting for Trump. “It’s not enough to just say, ‘I’ve changed my mind.’ In real ways, we helped make this happen.”
The tone wasn’t just reflective—it was remorseful. Carlson went further, offering a direct apology to his audience for what he now sees as misleading them.
“This is something we’ll have to wrestle with for a long time,” he said. “I will be. And I want to say I’m sorry.”
The public reversal comes amid growing tensions between Carlson and Trump, particularly over issues like escalating conflict with Iran and lingering controversy surrounding files tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Carlson has increasingly distanced himself from the former president in recent months.
Trump, never one to let criticism slide, fired back in typical fashion—lumping Carlson in with other former allies like Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones—accusing them of betrayal and mocking their intelligence in a recent social media rant.
Meanwhile, figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Owens have also begun to break ranks with Trump, pointing to dissatisfaction over foreign policy decisions and frustration with unanswered questions surrounding Epstein-related documents.
What was once a tightly aligned coalition now appears increasingly fractured, with Carlson’s apology marking one of the most notable—and personal—breaks yet.
