Tucker Carlson Apologizes for Endorsing President Donald Trump

Tucker Carlson says he feels partly responsible for President Donald Trump securing a second term in the Oval Office … and, he’s really sorry about it.

The conservative commentator issued a mea cupla during an episode of “The Tucker Carlson Show” released Monday while chatting with his younger brother, Buckley, who worked as a speechwriter for POTUS.

Carlson said he and Buckley are “implicated” in making Trump president again … and, he says it’s not enough to simply say they changed their minds … because he feels they, and millions of others, are the reason for the state of affairs.

He said, “So 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.”

As you may know … the prez’s former defender has distanced himself from the Commander-in-Chief recently … reportedly trying to talk Trump out of attacking Iran at the end of February and harshly criticizing the campaign since the bombing began.

In response, Trump torched Carlson — as well as other former allies like Candace Owens and Alex Jones — for similar criticisms … calling them all “stupid nut jobs” on Truth Social.

Tucker’s son — who, like Tucker’s brother, is also named Buckley — recently stepped down as press secretary for Vice President J.D. Vance … though sources tell us the decision has nothing to do with the beef between his dad and President Trump.
