‘Complete Humiliation’: Tucker Carlson Mocked For Bending The Knee To Trump

What's Hot

The Fox News host who privately admitted he hates Trump "passionately" is singing a very different tune now.

Overnight Editor, HuffPost

Tucker Carlson called Donald Trump a “demonic force,” admitted that he hated him “passionately” and said he couldn’t wait for the day when he could ignore the former president in private text messages.

Now, the Fox News host is singing a very different tune with a softball Trump interview in which he hailed the former president as “moderate, sensible and wise.”

Carlson’s critics on Twitter were quick to remind him of what he said in private messages released as part of the Dominion lawsuit against the right-wing network — and taunt him for such a brazen turnaround:

"a demonic force, a destroyer."

"He could easily destroy us if we play it wrong."

"We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait."

"I hate him passionately."

Remember Tucker hates Trump "passionately." But Tucker fears his audience, so Tucker publicly worships Trump. Trump knows Tucker said he hates him "passionately" but Trump wants Tucker's audience. Hence, two men full of hate telling lies on TV. https://t.co/jO70raNOG6

Serious question: When Donald Trump, a serial liar, tells a lie to @TuckerCarlson, another serial liar, is it really a lie? https://t.co/d7IZ5Qejbv

How quickly and obsequiously was this booked after the “I hate him passionately” messages dropped? https://t.co/hft63wCf1A

The irony is that Trump doesn't know what Tucker really thinks of him because Trump only watches FOX. pic.twitter.com/5bmQj4Yxws
