House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) ripped Tucker Carlson ‘s interview with Nick Fuentes on Tuesday morning as a “big mistake,” breaking with President Donald Trump’s take on the matter.

Carlson’s decision to interview Feuntes, a 27-year-old streamer who regularly criticizes people on the basis of race, religion, and ethnicity, sent shockwaves through the conservative coalition this fall, as the fallout divided party leaders . Trump has backed Carlson during the controversy, telling White House reporters, “you can’t tell him who to interview.”
