MAGA commentator Scott Jennings had a stinging response to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson's comments that he was regretful for supporting President Donald Trump.
CNN anchor Kasie Hunt asked Jennings to comment on Carlson's remarks that he would be "tormented" by his decisions to endorse Trump, which led to a heated exchange between the two during the live broadcast. Carlson had issued a public apology Monday for having supported Trump in the 2024 election, telling his millions of followers that he was “sorry for misleading people.”
Jennings shared his thoughts on the move.
"I mean, is his preferencethat Kamala Harris had becomethe president of the United States?" an indignant Jennings asked. "That will come as asurprise to, I'm sure, a lot ofpeople who used to view Tucker Carlson as a conservative andsomeone who, you know, hadcertain kinds of values. Andwhat's he sorry for? That we gota new engagement here that mightultimately lead to taking awaynuclear weapons?"
Hunt pushed back on Jennings' characterization of the war.
"We got into engagement, Scott? That is quite a way to put it," Hunt said. "We started a war with Iran."
"Is he nowclaiming he had no idea that Donald Trump held the positionthat he would never permit Iranto have nuclear weapons, ifthat's what he's saying today?" Jennings asked.
"He's kind of a moron," Jennings added. "I mean, Idon't know how else to put it,or he's willfullymisleading people. The presidentwas clear he'll never let themhave nuclear weapons. We justsaw on '60 Minutes' on Sundaynight, a broad agreement amongthe experts. They have 970pounds of enriched uranium,enough to make 10 or 11 nuclearbombs. This is not acceptable to the president. He had thatposition back in 2024. He hadthat position back in the firstterm. He has that position todayto say now that you're sorry,that you elected a presidentthat wanted to take away nuclearweapons from this terroristregime. I don't get it."
