Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

“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.

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 35 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

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.

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"

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

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 3 weeks ago

what an unfortunate name.

They should rename themselves to Christian Sermon Announcement Mail

"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.

[–] MunkyNutts@lemmy.world 33 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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 11 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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

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

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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 19 points 3 weeks ago

While I'm holding a brick, yes

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 weeks ago

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.

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.

Suffer in silence then.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

He made money supporting him, he’s making money going against him.

Tucker is the leopard.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

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.

Get fucked Tucker Carlson. Make the world a better place and do a Budd Dwyer.

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.

Tormented he's not invited to the party.

[–] ichwillhierraus@feddit.org 5 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

no he isnt, its like magats regretting voting for trump, or caitlyn jenner wants help soley for her trans problem. or roegan trying to play a never trumper.

[–] VampirePenguin@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly, who gives a fuck. Disappear Tucker, you empty suit.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks 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

[–] FluidBeef@quokk.au 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

They are seeing that the end is finally coming into focus, and not only is MAGA going to be on the losing side, it's quickly becoming inevitable. And that end is going to be very, very ugly, with a lot of prison sentences, and perhaps even some death sentences.

So the slyest rats are starting to jump ship, while there is still a chance to grab some floating debris to escape on. He's just the first of many to follow.

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 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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…”

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.
