Podcaster Tucker Carlson expressed regret for the role he played in helping get President Donald Trump elected and apologized for “misleading people.”
“I do think it’s like a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. You know, we’ll be tormented by it for a long time. I will be. And I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people, and it was not intentional. That’s all I’ll say,” Carlson said on the Tucker Carlson Show Monday.
Buckley Carlson, Tucker Carlson’s brother and a former Trump speechwriter, joined Carlson on the show.
“In very small ways but in very real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now,” Tucker Carlson said.
Tucker Carlson became critical of Trump over the government’s involvement in the war in Iran. Trump posted on Truth Social and called the conservative commentator “Low IQ.”

Carlson said he’s “implicated in this for sure” regarding his role voicing support for the president during the 2024 election.
Carlson called Trump’s character into question as well, and said, “Clearly there were signs of low character; we knew that.”
