“You know, we’ll be tormented by it for a long time – I will be,” Tucker Carlson said. “And I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional, that’s all I’ll say.”

Though Carlson in 1999 had referred to Trump as “the single most repulsive person on the planet”, he beat most pundits in calling for Trump to be taken seriously before he won his first presidency in 2016.

Trump recently published a social media post calling Carlson “a Low IQ person – Always easy to beat, and highly overrated!!!”

FFS now I agree with Trump ?

In a few months, these people will have always been against Trump, and they'll hate us when we call them on it, because despite everything they've done so far, they still think they're better off than with a Democrat in charge.

Tucker Carlson doesn't disagree with anything Trump has done, he's just smart enough to tell when to jump ship. This is a strategic move

"I would have voted for Jim Webb" is a thing I've heard conservative asshats tell me on a regular basis.

No raindrop thinks they're to blame for the flood.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

No raindrop is. The flood is a consequence of the land's ability to drain water relative to the size of the deluge. Blaming individual raindrops is foolish.

My bad for posting a metaphor on Lemmy. Are you doing a bit right now, like autism blackface or something? Did the Big Bang Theory send you?

Tucker Carlson draws scorn for new details over demonic attack: 'I'm not embarrassed'
Carlson confirmed to The Christian Post on Halloween last year that he believes he was "physically mauled" by an unseen force while he was sleeping on Feb. 20, 2023.

"Ephesians 6 is real," Carlson told CP at the time, referencing the chapter in the New Testament that teaches mankind is engaged in warfare "against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."

These fucking religious nutbag grifters

[-] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Anyone else seeing the almost perfect irony of a Christian news publication's name converting to CP?

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 month ago

what an unfortunate name.

They should rename themselves to Christian Sermon Announcement Mail

Tucker Carsalesman:

  • 2003: "Please Buy the Iraq War"
  • 2015: "I regret selling you the Iraq War, please buy this Trump"
  • 2026: "I Regret selling you this Trump, please buy this white nationalism"

Fuck him, fuck them all. They knew exactly what they were doing and getting into. But once there's signs that the ship is sinking they all jump off like the rats they are. And if not and that's a big if not, then maybe he is just a "Low IQ person".

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago

He was just sticking up for trump last week. I think it was over Iran. This is temporary and for the left to have something to be distracted from. Trump is in the low 30s in approval, that's covid bad.

[-] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago

Tucker can stuff his apology, this isn't buyer's regret, his influence was outsized because of his platform and led to disastrous results.

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 40 points 1 month ago

"It was not intentional."

Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you. Don't you dare try to retcon your selfish, evil, greedy contributions to the suffering of thousands (millions?). No quarter for anyone who harbored these selfish fucks.

"I regret that my grift is no longer profitable."

He's been a bullshit peddler for his entire career. These are crocodile tears and fake regrets.

In case of Tucker, unless he's ready to dump previously unknown information on his (former) cohorts, I don't think he can be forgiven. He's not some small figure, a leftist content creator that did a few mistakes in his career, or a former edgy teen obsessed with "funny slurs", he is a very well known right-wing talking head.

Jon Stewart Single handily taking Cross Fire off the air when Tucker Carlson was a host. Its amazing. The show was cancelled a few months after this interview.

“And I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional, that’s all I’ll say.”

Have you ever seen a quote, and wanted the person to repeat it to you face to face?

[-] db2@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

While I'm holding a brick, yes

[-] CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one 21 points 1 month ago

I guess he's just not making as much money / as popular as when he was on TV and hates not being in the spotlight. He doesn't give a rat's ass about Trump and never has.

Seppuku time, Mr.Carlson.

Never forget what they did, my American compatriots. Never forget.

They lied. They gaslit. They tried to break us.

Never forget.

Every supporter must be held accountable.

Millionaire media figures who spend decades pushing an agenda are 'tormented', sure

[-] blitzen@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

I’m torn. Obviously the likes of Carlson and Rogen et. al. need to answer for their support. On the other hand, I’m not sure making them wear a hairshirt or scarlet “T” for the rest of their lives– while warranted– actually gets us closer to where we need to be, which is free of Trump and the other despots.

[-] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

How they are punished is less about how impactful it will be for them than it is about setting an example for the next generation of dumb, greedy assholes who might be aiming to follow in their footsteps. “Hmm. After seeing what they do to Tucker Carlson, maybe I’ll put down my God Hates Fags sign…”

Looks like the right wing grift isn't working for this twat anymore and he wants to see if he can apologize his way into left wing grifting, or maybe just back into polite society.

Sorry bud, the average IQ on this side of the aisle is too high.

Tormented he's not invited to the party.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

He is waking up some of the magats and exposing Israeli crimes. Nobody on the left could have reached these people so that I appreciate. I also think he’s doing real investigative journalism by doing interviews with people nobody on the left would have access to.

[-] mossberg590@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Because that Putin interview was a barn burner. This guy is an asshat. Always has been and always will. He knows how to swing with the wind, that is all.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I hate that motherfucker so much.

Tucker is going full fash. Time for him to huddle around Fuentes for that good ol' hellfire warmth, with all the clicks, views, and ad revenue that audience brings...oh and hate...so much hate. Tucker knows (and hates) his audience so well.

I want to see the end of Trump as much as the next person, but you'd have to be blind to not see what's coming next.

Aww, poor Tucker. I doubt he's lost a single moment of sleep over it.

It is funny when the moron fucks others, like latinos blacks and asians, but then he fucked with my mates! He cryed.

Fuck you Tucker, fuck You.

He always knew this. He made a deal with the devil because he thought it would hurt his enemies more.

[-] Widdershins@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

tucker probably got a leaked epstein file that detailed what trump did to the Green M&M when she was a Mini M&M and is on the warpath now.

[-] okamiueru@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's the explanation for every right winger: you're either a moron, or evil, thought most commonly a good mix of both.

The ones in the former camp need to repeatedly "learn from their mistakes". Unless you're in the latter category, one would think that any reasonable person should think "maybe opinions on how to do things is better left to others", but alas, a lack of such processes is a requirement for the moron bit.

[-] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Tucker Carlson stopped being your average grifter and started being a genuine national security threat when he literally fucking went to Moscow and personally interviewed Putin about the genocide he's committing in Ukraine
