This shift reflects his changing standing within the conservative movement and media institutions. Carlson&#8217;s involvement in the nicotine pouch industry is noted, as he co-owns the ALP brand expanding across Europe. The piece examines how institutions modify their language to signal someone&#8217;s departure or exile from the mainstream conservative fold.It also addresses Carlson&#8217;s political commentary, notably his nuanced views on 9\/11 and foreign policy, and the tensions between his beliefs and the evolving perceptions of his former audience and colleagues. Ultimately, the article portrays Carlson as a figure whose public image has shifted from a prominent conservative media personality to a businessman and outsider, with his media and political influence now viewed through a more critical lens.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The New York Post did not put Tucker Carlson on the opinion page.<\/p>\n<p>It introduced him, in a news story, as a \u201cnicotine-pouch salesman and onetime conservative pundit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That sentence is the story.<\/p>\n<p>Staff writer Ryan King used it while reporting that Carlson had all but endorsed Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and called El-Sayed \u201cobviously right\u201d about 9\/11, the New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/09\/13\/us-news\/tucker-carlson-all-but-endorses-abdul-el-sayed-says-he-was-obviously-right-about-9-11\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson\u2019s Friday newsletter said El-Sayed \u201cdid not celebrate airplane hijackings or cheerlead Al-Qaeda.\u201d He said the Democrat merely objected to how America answered the attacks.<\/p>\n<p>El-Sayed\u2019s 2021 line was that 9\/11 \u201cscarred our country in profound ways, but what we did after 9\/11 scarred millions of other people.\u201d He added that Americans \u201coften fail to center them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republican candidate Mike Rogers called that attitude disqualifying.

He is also the man who spent years as the biggest prime-time conservative on television.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Post chose which half to lead with.<\/p>\n<p>That is how institutions mark an exile.

They will say he is only attacking endless war and a GOP he thinks sold out.<\/p>\n<p>His critics will say the pattern is older than one Senate race: Israel as the organizing grievance, Democrats as occasional allies, 9\/11 recast as a story about American guilt.<\/p>\n<p>Both can be true at once. A man can hate stupid wars and still spend the 25th anniversary of a massacre telling voters the Democrat who wants to \u201ccenter\u201d foreign dead over American dead is the serious one.<\/p>\n<p>What the New York Post\u2019s news desk decided is that he is no longer inside the conservative tent.<\/p>\n<p>Plenty of his old viewers hoped the last year was a phase. The El-Sayed note is not a phase. It is a choice about which coalition he wants to help in November.<\/p>\n<p>He still has an audience. He still has a company. He still has a camera.<\/p>\n<p>He no longer has the presumption that a right-of-center paper will introduce him as one of their own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNicotine-pouch salesman and onetime conservative pundit\u201d is rude. It is also the cleanest summary of how a large piece of the movement now files him.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
