Conservative star Tucker Carlson was forced to eat some serious crow after blistering statements he made surrounding the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Carlson has been highly critical of Cheney, stating on his former program on Fox News that Cheney is a “neocon warmonger” and a “liar.”
However, shortly after Cheney’s death, Carlson told fellow conservative media star and Sirius XM’s Megyn Kelly that he would “consider” suicide if he had a daughter like Liz Cheney.
Liz Cheney, who Carlson says he knows personally, has become one of the most vocal anti-MAGA Republicans in the political landscape.
Carlson has repeatedly chastised Cheney for her role on the January 6th Select Committee and for her endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris.
During his appearance with Kelly, Carlson made the comment after he said that the former vice president raised a “repulsive daughter.”

However, Carlson took to the airwaves this week to apologize directly to Liz Cheney despite their historcal beef.
“And I said that her father would be ashamed of her, and if I had a daughter like that, I’d probably kill myself, which is an awful thing to say. It’s kind of hard to believe I said that,” Carlson said.
“But in my mind, I was thinking of all the people I dislike, Liz Cheney would probably be at the top of the list … Because we disagree so profoundly, I told myself, clearly, I must have told myself that you can say anything you want about Liz Cheney. She’s not really human. You can say anything you want, including something really awful and nasty, like if I was her dad, I would kill myself. Who thinks like that? Who talks like that? Well, I did.”
“And so I just want to say I’m sorry to Liz Cheney, and I mean that too. I mean that. I shouldn’t have said that,” Carlson continued.
