Tucker Carlson has posted a cryptic video on Twitter claiming that Fox News has silenced him, ending with a tantalizing: “See you soon.”
The 53-year-old was told Monday morning that he was being fired from Fox News, where he was the most-watched newscaster.
No reason was given.
“Good evening, I’m Tucker Carlson,” he declared in his clip.
“One of the first things you realize when you get away from the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, nice, decent people, people who really care about the truth. And a lot of fun people too, a lot of them. It has to be the majority of the population, even now. That’s encouraging.
“The other thing you realize is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on TV are.
They are completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years we won’t even remember we had them. Trust me, as someone who has participated.
Tucker Carlson posted a video on Wednesday night discussing in oblique terms the “debates” and discussions that shape America, referencing only his own firing, saying it led him “to get out of the noise for a few days.” .
Carlson became a household name through Tucker Carlson Tonight, which became Fox News’ flagship show. In 2022, it averaged around 3.3 million viewers per show.
Carlson, who was in the midst of renegotiating his $20 million a year contract when he was abruptly fired, said the response caught him by surprise.
“And at the same time, and this is the amazing thing, the undeniably big issues, the ones that will define our future, are practically not discussed at all.
