Fox News host Tucker Carlson walked back private attacks on former president Donald Trump during a recent interview with conservative radio host Bo Snerdley on WABC Radio " taking pains to assure Trump's most fervent supporters that he counts himself among the faithful. "What's the deal with you and Donald Trump?" asked Snerdley after alluding to texts discovered in the ongoing Fox News-Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit in which Carlson celebrated being "very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights." "I hate him passionately," added Carlson during the January 2021 exchange before offering a scathing assessment of Trump's presidency. "That's the last four years. We're all pretending we've got a lot to show for it , because admitting what a disaster it's been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn't really an upside to Trump."

Carlson painted a rosier picture of Trump during his conversation with Snerdley on Monday, though.

"Oh, let's see. I spent four years defending his policies and I " I'm going to defend them again tonight. And actually, and I'm pretty straight forward, I'm " I love Trump. Like, as a person, I think Trump is funny and insightful," he told Snerdley, before explaining away his texts as being the consequence of false information about the 2020 election fed to him by a Trump staffer that Carlson then repeated on air.

There is zero reason to believe a single word that Tucker Carlson says. He has been exposed as a liar and a fraud.

He's going to have to really scrub to get the brown off his nose.

@#6 ... takes a lot of work/effort too ...

Yup.

That's why I said "years."

But to your point, yeah, it is not solely time, i.e., just waiting around for a few years ain't gonna cut it.
