Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host and onetime ally of President Donald Trump, went scorched earth on Thursday with a new supercut video highlighting all of the administration’s broken promises.
The video, titled “The Great Betrayal,” uses Trump’s own words and those of other members of his administration to show how the president has misled the American people on the war with Iran, inflation, fuel prices, the Jeffrey Epstein files and more.
Carlson has gone back and forth on Trump over the years, supporting him in his first term and minimizing the 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
But behind the scenes, he wasn’t happy with the president.
“I hate him passionately,” he said in a Jan. 4, 2021, text message released as part of a court case, adding that he “can’t wait” for when he can ignore Trump.
Carlson, who has often amplified the white supremacist “great replacement” conspiracy, came back around on Trump in 2024, not only endorsing him but speaking at Trump rallies and at the Republican National Convention.
However, he made a very public break from the president earlier this year, saying he felt “betrayed” by the war with Iran. He also said he was “tormented” by his prior support for the president.
“I’m sorry for misleading people,” Carlson said.
