Kari Lake celebrated the news that Tucker Carlson has parted ways with Fox News by sharing her own experience in a tweet today.
Lake shared a picture of a laughing Carlson and said, “The best decision I ever made was leaving Fox.”
“Good for you, @TuckerCarlson. You’re free & uncensored!” Lake declared.
Lake later retweeted a quote tweet from Paul Ingrassia who said in response to her tweet, “Most of us left Faux News on November 3, 2020 when they prematurely (and incorrectly) called Arizona for Biden.”
“Hopefully this will be a wake up call now for the rapidly declining audience who stuck with them, the vast majority of which were only loyal to the network due to Tucker,” Ingrassia insisted.

Breaking911 shared a clip of Carlson speaking at the Heritage Foundation on Friday night where he shared a story about someone refusing to be a “slave” by not putting their pronouns in an email signature.
“I am not a slave. I am a free citizen — and I’m not doing that — and there’s nothing you can do to me to make me do it. And I hope it won’t come to that — but if it does come to that — here I am. Here I am. It’s Paul on trial. Here I am.”

As we previously reported, in a press release, it was announced that, “Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”
“Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating Fox News personalities until a new host is named,” the press release explained.

Tucker, Kari, Maria et al need to start their own cable news network. fox will be buried in the ensuing avalanche.
I know fox is done in my house and I’m sure millions of others. We would welcome a better network.
When I heard on the radio that Tucker wouldn’t be on FOX, they reported that he had been fired and that Don Lemon ? had been fired also.
