Why did Tucker Carlson apologize for promoting Donald Trump for the presidency?

What's going on? Did he just now see the light?

He actually said he was sorry for his support.

Does he now see Trump for what he is and not what he wanted him to be?

He is just the latest "influencer" to speak out against Trump. Did someone finally show them a walnut and they said, "Yes, that's a nut!"

Do they think a large part of our population is ready to accept their apologies?

The people need to see a lot more than apologies from these spineless creatures.

There is no insight. There are no standards or principles. He is going where the currents take him and pretends it is brave truth-telling.

don't see him sincere beyond self- serving job security preservation... Liberals are compassionate so he assumes we will forgive him without holding him accountable for what he does net....What he does next and forward will be the strong clues.

I'll wait and see...

Time will tell if he's sincere or not. If he's not, he'll out himself.

And is having feelings.

So, consider this a little retribution tantrum.

The problem with having no core is that the emptiness where it should be rapidly fills with shit.
