Whoopi Goldberg:
This will come as interesting surprise to everyone. Do you know who just lost one of his biggest supporters over the ongoing war in Iran? Far-right commentator Tucker Carlson says he regrets ever helping to put you-know-who in the White House.
Take a look. You and I and everyone else who supported him, you wrote speeches for him, I campaigned for him. I mean, we're implicated in this, for sure.
Yes. It's not enough to say, well, I changed my mind, or like, oh, this is bad, I'm out. It's like in very small ways, but in real ways, you and me and millions of people like us are the reason this is happening right now.
Yes. So I do think it's like a moment to wrestle with our own consciences. You know, we'll be tormented by it for a long time.
I will be. And I want to say I'm sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional.
Oh. please. Whatever.
S. Hostin:
I don't believe him. He's not getting a bear hug from me. I don't think, you know, the world's on fire, and you can't just say, oopsies.
And the reason that I don't believe him is that remember when Fox News parted ways with him because of a $787 million settlement over Dominion, over those voting machines? Remember that whole scandal? Well, during that litigation in 2021, he texted someone and said that he hated Trump passionately.
And then, two years later, he said, I'm voting for Trump. And then, in 2024, he endorsed him for president. So now, all of a sudden, 2021, you hated him, and now all of a sudden, you want me to forgive you for this situation?
No thank you, Tucker Carlson.
J. Behar:
You know Sonny, no thank you. know, again, you have to cut him some slack.
He has what they call liar's remorse. And also, the January 6th attack- He's a little tired today, y'all. You know the January, remember the January 6th attack?
He called them tourists. Yes he did. And he described them as meek and orderly.
They were violent, if you remember it. was not a Buddhist monk convention, okay? Right.
They were not meek and orderly. So he has lied about everything. Consistently.
He needs to just make a whole list of all the things that he got wrong and not just he's, sorry. I wanna hear every single thing he said.
S. Haines:
Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly will say anything they have to, any point in the day for clicks and money and it does not matter what they're saying.
Literally, Tucker recently hosted white nationalist Nick Fuentes and pushed back like zero times almost on really problematic views. He also interviewed Russian President Putin, let him spread propaganda and did not push back. He interviewed podcaster Daryl Cooper, allowing claims that Nazis lacked intent in the Holocaust. Tucker Carlson will literally do say anything for money, for clicks, for power.
That man just needs to disappear.
*Applause*
A. Farah:
Yep. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Listen, there's genuine, I learned something, some remorse. I wanna kind of figure out what I was misled by. I put Marjorie Taylor Greene in that category, even though I still have a lot of questions for her.
Tucker Carlson, who I kind of knew back in the day when he once wanted to be more like a George Will, like a thinking man's conservative, he then turned into something that I would say is vile. I would say that it's dangerous. He traffics in antisemitism, in open racism.
If you listen to clips, conspiracy theories left and right, and I don't think this is a true about face. He's like, wow, I really made a mistake on Donald Trump. No way.
People, by the way, who have criticized Trump and learned and realized I shouldn't have been with him. I think it's about clicks and money. Unlike the mainstream media where are certain levels of standards, there's legal, there's facts.
He couldn't hack it the mainstream media. He goes where the clicks go.
Others:
Yeah, he goes where the clicks go.
A. Farah:
And by the way, he is extraordinarily powerful. A lot of people listen to him. That doesn't mean he's right or[in] what he says.
But this pathological need for relevancy is like a psychological disorder that they get off the stage and they can't be in the world. They're often escorted off the stage. But they can't be in the world like a regular person.
And by the way, this comes on the heels, sorry, I just wanna say. That's all right, baby. Of Donald Trump attacking him.
So just earlier, just a few earlier this month, he basically said, like, I don't care about Tucker, I don't like him, I'm not bringing him back to the White House, I'm paraphrasing, and then he turns on him.
W. Goldberg:
Yeah. Well, you know, look, and anybody, who can't explain what they mean, I wanted him to explain the great replacement theory.
Yeah, that would have been good. Because I wanted to understand, so you're living next to your white neighbors, right? And you've had, you know, you're barbecuing, you're hanging out, you're doing stuff.
You go bed, you say goodnight, you say goodnight. You wake up the next day and there's black people living next door saying they are the people who were your neighbors. Is that how that works?
Yeah, I don't know. Because how, if so many people were being replaced, how come nobody knew? Yeah, I don't know.
Why didn't anybody report it? White folks missing. A lot of that, a lot of that.
what, and so.
S. Hostin: Did Tucker Carlson, was he part of this, putting out the Great Replacement period? Yes, he was.
W. Goldberg: Yes, he was. Well, and a lot of that hinges on this notion that's not based in fact, that there's this extremely widespread voter fraud that's being committed. That's usually what it goes back to.
Well, then there's that too, but you keep it. Again, facts matter. Yeah, facts do matter.
And it clicks on the internet shouldn't be what matters. And so stuff like that, you know, once he started with that, I couldn't talk to him because he couldn't explain it. you can't explain it to me, I'm not listening to your ass.

Too Late to Say Sorry: The View Torches Tucker Carlson’s ‘Regret’ as Self-Serving Spin.
Here’s a concise summary of that April 21 segment of *The View*,:
The panel reacts skeptically—often mockingly—to Carlson’s apparent regret over supporting Donald Trump, especially in light of the ongoing Iran conflict. Whoopi Goldberg introduces the clip as a surprising but overdue admission of responsibility, highlighting Carlson’s acknowledgment that he and others helped enable current events.
The hosts largely reject his apology as insincere and opportunistic. Sunny Hostin argues his reversal lacks credibility, pointing to past contradictions—privately criticizing Trump, then publicly supporting and endorsing him. She frames his regret as too little, too late given the stakes.
Joy Behar ridicules Carlson’s track record, accusing him of habitual dishonesty—especially his portrayal of the January 6 attack as harmless. She suggests a real apology would require a full accounting of his misinformation, not a vague expression of regret.
Sara Haines goes further, portraying Carlson (and Megyn Kelly) as driven by clicks, money, and influence rather than truth. She cites his platforming of extremist figures and controversial interviews as evidence that he amplifies harmful narratives without accountability.
Alyssa Farah Griffin contrasts genuine political reconsideration with what she sees as Carlson’s calculated rebranding. She characterizes his evolution as a shift toward more extreme, conspiratorial content, arguing his current stance is about relevance and profit—especially after criticism from Trump.
The discussion closes with Goldberg dismissing Carlson’s promotion of conspiracy theories like the “great replacement,” emphasizing that his claims lack factual basis and that his inability to defend them undermines his credibility.
**Bottom line:** The panel treats Carlson’s apology not as meaningful accountability, but as a self-serving pivot from a figure they describe as consistently misleading, opportunistic, and influential in spreading harmful narratives.
Trump’s new whacked out coalition grows. CNN, the View, Mark Levin, Laura Loomer, Paula White…
Pushing the harpies on the view? Seriously?
But not us on the View, no siree Bob.
Blind pig finds acorn...Film at eleven............
Quatarlson is a whacko
I still want Tucker to speak. And make his case.
Just like Levin.
You need lots of voices to decipher what’s true and what’s not.
Cuz everybody hides their own dirty laundry.
More voices is better.
Huh. Imagine that. Even the Old Crows got this one right.
(In reference to the publicly-spirited citizens who were invited by govt. ushers to step through the roped-off areas.)
I would have rather been a Black counter-protestor on Jan. 6 than an uninvolved White bystander swept up in a typical BLM protest!
Regards,
____
Very much so.
LOL
Loomer is not “new.” One of his first fans
THE 3 BRAIN CELLS BETWEEN THAT GROUP ARE VERY BUSY JUMPING FROM ONE MOUTH TO THE NEXT
OMG this show is SO BAD
As much as I loathe Tucker and think something is wrong with him, the commies on the View are 100 times worse
Ha haaaaaas! Well played, Tuckiyya! Well played! Now both sides hate you and don’t trust you. Good job! 👏 👏 👏
They talk about the “World being on fire” nah that was under Biden, I guess they forgot Russia/Ukraine and Oct 7th but nah they were too busy passing out cheeseburgers on Oct 7th and they could give a rats ass about Russia and Ukraine fighting for what now, FIVE YEARS
