Tucker Carlson extends his regrets for assisting in a second Trump presidency.
The right-wing commentator and ousted Fox News host has become increasingly critical of President Donald Trump in recent years, especially regarding the Trump administration's war in Iran. Carlson, 56, said he and fellow Republicans are "implicated" in "Operation Epic Fury," which Carlson called "absolutely disgusting and evil."
"You and I and everyone else who supported him, you wrote speeches for him, I campaigned for him, I mean we're implicated in this for sure," he said on a Monday, April 20, episode of "The Tucker Carlson Show," in conversation with his former GOP speechwriter brother, Buckley Carlson. "It's not enough to say, 'I changed my mind.' Or like, 'Oh this is bad, I'm out.' It's like, in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now."
In a response to a request for comment, the White House pointed to Trump's April 9 Truth Social post, which criticized Tucker Carlson and other conservative commentators who have broken with him over the war – including Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones – saying they they have "Low IQs" and are "stupid people."
