Tucker Carlson Admits He’ll Be “Tormented for a Long Time” for Helping Elect Pres. Donald Trump: “I Want to Say I’m Sorry for Misleading People”
Tucker Carlson just went full Never-Trump on his show, sitting down with his brother Buckley Carlson, whom Tucker named his son after, to trash President Donald Trump and the entire MAGA movement.
This comes just days after it was reported that Tucker’s own son, Buckley Carlson, who The Gateway Pundit proudly reported joined the Trump White House in January 2025 as Deputy Press Secretary to Vice President JD Vance, is no longer working in the administration.
Sources close to the situation say the younger Carlson’s departure coincides with escalating tensions over the Trump administration’s decisive action against Iran.
During the interview on The Tucker Carlson Show, the pair unleashed a torrent of attacks on the man they once called a hero.
The two called for the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office.
This is the same Buckley Carlson who helped write Trump’s speeches and defended him for years. Now he’s openly calling for his removal.

Tucker Carlson also said he regrets helping propel Donald Trump to the presidency, claiming the decision will haunt him for years to come.
TUCKER CARLSON: He can survive. So looking back— because you and I and everyone else who supported him, you wrote speeches for him, I campaigned for him. We’re implicated in this for sure. It’s not enough to say, “Well, I changed my mind,” or “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 are the reason this is happening right now.
So I do think it’s a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. 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.
But anyway, the question does present itself immediately. Like, what is this? Was this always the plan? You don’t want to be a conspiracy nut, but clearly there were signs of low character. We knew that.
BUCKLEY CARLSON: Yes. But it didn’t—
TUCKER CARLSON: There are tons of people of low character who outperform their character.
BUCKLEY CARLSON: It doesn’t have to be sort of the norm, actually, these days. Right.
TUCKER CARLSON: I’ve outperformed my character a lot. I don’t have especially high character, right? But you try your best. But what was this? Was this always the plan?
BUCKLEY CARLSON: Looking back after the last year and a half, it seems like it kind of was. And it’s easy— Well, you could get really deep about it and say, “What was Butler?” Like, how was it that he— And Ryan Routh. I mean, he was subject to two legitimate assassination attempts. Have we ever gotten to the bottom? I know you’ve talked a lot about this, but have we ever gotten to the bottom?
TUCKER CARLSON: I haven’t talked a lot about it. I don’t know the answer, but I know that those investigations have been stymied.
BUCKLEY CARLSON: Fact. Yeah, stymied from the very top, from people who actually would have the power to get to the bottom and the motive. Yes. Yeah, very much. The enormous amount of money he got from Miriam Adelson now seems suspect. A lot of people at the time, you know, there’s a lot of money in politics. To run for president requires an enormous— I mean, Kathleen Hamilton went through $2 billion in 4 months. Sure, there’s an argument to be made that you get money from those who will give it to you. It’s just the nature of that game.
But it’s still reprehensible, and it’s still a big question mark. Why would someone who has this obvious and demonstrated allegiance to a foreign power give Donald Trump $250 million while he’s running for president? I mean, how is that defensible? It’s really not. If Russia had given a PAC for Trump, if the mayor of Moscow had somehow assembled an enormous amount of money and put it in a 501(c)(3) for Trump’s benefit, would that have been acceptable? Of course it wouldn’t have been.
So what did someone— it comes back to the money. What did they get in return for that amount of investment? And it’s clear. I get it.
TUCKER CARLSON: No, I mean, of course I agree with every word that you’re saying. I just think, given his behavior and his demonstrated disloyalty and viciousness to previous supporters, why didn’t he display the same lack of loyalty to Miriam Adelson? I mean, that’s kind of the question. The only people he’s been loyal to are the neocons and his donors.
So he attacks Islam. Some of us stand up and say, probably shouldn’t be attacking a religion. “Oh, you’re a Muslim, secret Muslim. You love Muslims.” No, I like reverence, and I don’t think you should attack people on the basis of their religion.
BUCKLEY CARLSON: You don’t attack the religion. Yes.
TUCKER CARLSON: And all these evangelicals are like, “Oh, you see, you’re a Muslim.” The next week he attacks Jesus. Wow. Okay, because it’s all connected, right?
BUCKLEY CARLSON: Clearly. Of course. Well beyond money, obviously.
