Carlson supported Trump in 2024. After the war began, he apologized for supporting the then-presidential candidate and “misleading people," saying it wasn’t intentional.

But of course…

“Not gonna support the Democratic Party,” Carlson was quick to add, speaking late last week on the show “Can’t Be Censored.” “I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

(When it comes to the “Tuckers” of the world, no matter how much they might hate the GOP, they still hate the Democrats just as much, if not more.)

    Too passive.

    You helped build this empire of shit; nothing short of maximal effort and resources at bringing this regime down will do.

    Tucker was fine right up until there were enough Republicans orphaned from the party to grift to. Don’t forget he said he fucking hated Trump long before he showed any sign that he didn’t wanna gargle his nuts. If you think Tucker shows an honest face, ever, you’re delusional. He has clear aims, but his method of achieving them always includes deception.

    Former MAGA pundits like this asshole are quick to bring out criticism and taking credit for it, while the left has been saying “I fucking told you so” since before the election.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if he winds up supporting JD Vance for 2028 after all this.

      Agreed. But I agree with him just this one time in terms of not knowing what to do. GOP is awful, but democrats don’t have what it takes to get Israel off the tit and solidify the change and stability we need. We need the purple party made up of people who want to address bipartisan issues first. (pointless wars, term limits, proportionate taxes, data center limits, etc)

        Completely agree. It would be a dream to have us agree and work together on almost all the issues and make politics boring again.

      He’s genuinely dangerous. He has the strategic evilness of Steve Bannon, the ruthlessness of Stephen Miller, with the charisma of Trump. He’s very smart, and knows how to build an audience. I’m the most worried about him running for office.

    Rats are starting to leave the ship.

    MTG did her move at the perfect moment. She resigned from Congress when she could have stayed and fought. I expect to see her doing a lot of TV appearances as the midterms heat up.

    I worry, after seeing someone else mention it somewhere, the whole apology / change in tune is actually all build-up for a presidential run.

      I see it as more of seeing the writing on the wall that this regime is f***** over and f***** up, and trying to distance himself so he can remain relevant in some way. It’s all about the grift.
