Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson expressed remorse over his previous advocacy for US President Donald Trump, confessing to feeling 'tormented' by his role in the Trump administration.
During a candid podcast dialogue with his brother Buckley Carlson, he offered a public apology for his influence on the American electorate.
'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. It was not intentional. That's all I'll say,' Carlson said.
Carlson's previous involvement with Trump included personal speechwriting and campaigning for the president, but he now says supporters must take accountability for the current political landscape.
He questioned Trump's temperament, admitting that certain 'signs of low character' were evident but were ignored by his supporters.
