“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 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.
