Tucker Carlson apologizes for falsely saying Israel’s President Herzog visited Epstein’s island

In a two-minute video uploaded to X, Carlson says he received a long letter from Herzog’s office vehemently denying that the Israeli president has ever been in contact with Epstein, let alone attended one of his parties, which trafficked underage women were known to frequent.

“They didn’t know each other, they never emailed with each other, never been in the same room. They had no relationship of any kind,” Carlson says the letter from Herzog’s camp stated.

Huckabee had earlier posted similar remarks from Herzog’s office.

“And so for that reason, we are taking it seriously. There is nothing worse than impugning the reputation of an innocent man,” Carlson says.

“So I just want to say clearly I’m sorry to imply that I knew something I didn’t know — of course I didn’t know that Isaac Herzog was on that island. I was referring to that email and the protest against him. But I don’t know that, and I didn’t mean to suggest that I do know that.”

6 It would be awfully nice if he were to acknowledge that he would apologize for impugning the reputation of the innocent country of Israel and the innocent Jews — but he won’t.

7 I dislike talking heads as a species, but never have I seen one make himself so toxic so quickly as Tucker Carlson.
