Fox News host Tucker Carlson attempts to walk back his private text messages saying that he was fed up with then-President Trump after the 2020 presidential election.

“And we went and I repeated them on air, and it turns out some of them were alive,” Carlson said, referring to the campaign's accusation. “So I was just — I felt humiliated.”

Carlson was among the network’s hosts and executives who decried Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen in private text messages and emails revealed in hundreds of pages of court filings made public this month, despite the network’s promotion of the false claims on air. “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait,” he texted an unidentified person.Carlson’s private texts starkly contrasted what he had been telling viewers during his primetime show.

Fox News at the time came under fire from its core audience after it reported the 2020 election results accurately.

Don’t care as he would have the right to his own opinion. I don’t care for trump but after seeing thenNY DA go after him for basically nothing the way he is I will vote for trump.

HE'S enraged? I am equally disinterested & delighted, if he is miserable.

People can't change an opinion? Do an article on Joe Biden next. He's had a long career oppressing minorities I'm sure his opinion hasn't changed.

we dont care about your lame gossip - we want affordable groceries not your trashy content.

I liked when journalists/pundits/talking heads didnt necessarily like our political leaders. When they started getting shivers up their legs when a President spoke their focus changed.

Many of us have stayed fed up with Trump.

“I was young and impressionable back in late 2020.”

I often say exasperated plucked my last nerve things about Tucker in a moment of his own lying, pomposity, smugness, and group-think, but I always love him. Only not the cackle. I cringe at the cackle. But, I still love him.

Who cares?

why bother walking it back? it's not like he lost even 1 magat viewer. they're literally a cult. Qult45

These people are so pathetic

Why does it surprise people when they lie. It's been going on so long I think we're all just tired. All of them seem to forget they're on video, radio, text strings and email. But, listen to what I say, don't believe your own eyes!

Tucker being suid for millions

Caught in an embarrassing lie & one that alienated his viewers and Trump, what else can he do? Of course double down on the Big lie, claim the texts were taken out of context, keep insisting the election was still stolen. He isn’t a journalist, just a really bad Fox host

Trust Fund Tucker lies about everything; his ‘hair,’ his sexuality, his relationships, ‘news.’ Literally everything he says is a lie
