Tucker Carlson Apologizes for 'Misleading' on Trump

Tucker Carlson's break with President Trump just reached a new level: The conservative pundit has publicly apologized for endorsing Trump and unintentionally "misleading" people, reports Mediaite. The mea culpa came on Monday's episode of the Tucker Carlson Show as he spoke with his brother, Buckley Carlson, who wrote speeches for Trump.

• "We're implicated in this, for sure," said the former Fox News host. "I want to say I'm sorry for misleading people, and it was not intentional." He added that he would be "tormented" by that for a "long time."

Carlson and other big names on the right have grown more openly critical of Trump, especially over the war with Iran and the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The apology comes after Trump blasted Carlson on Truth Social this month as "a Low IQ person," and "highly overrated," per the Guardian. (Trump also went after others on the right, including Megyn Kelly.) The feud has spilled into Carlson's immediate family: His son, also named Buckley, resigned last week from his post as deputy press secretary to Vice President JD Vance after Trump's attacks on his father.
