Tucker Carlson shifts stance on Trump

Tucker Carlson, a US journalist and a long time supporter of Donald Trump, has shifted his stance on the President after fiercely criticizing the Republican during his second stint. 

The former Fox News host expressed remorse for backing President Donald Trump in a video released earlier this week.

Carlson, whose stance did not come as a surprise given his recent criticism of Trump, said that he would "be tormented by it for a long time" and went on to apologize for what he called "misleading" people.

"I do think it’s like a moment to wrestle with our own consciences," Carlson said on "The Tucker Carlson Show," referring to the role of his and others' support for Trump. 

"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."

Carlson pointed in the video to having campaigned for Trump, saying, "We're implicated in this for sure."

"It’s not enough to say, 'Well, I changed my mind,'" Carlson said during the show, during which he interviewed his brother, Buckley Carson. 

"Or like, 'Oh, this is bad. I’m out.' It’s like, in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us for the reason this is happening right now."
