Tucker
By now, everybody has heard that Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. There is tons of speculation as to why, and I certainly have no way of knowing. My best guess is that he was too conservative for Rupert Murdoch, but that’s only a guess. We may never know for sure, and any explanation Fox gives will almost surely be disingenuous. He irritated the wrong people. That’s where my money is.
Now the speculation has turned to what Carlson will do. Heritage Foundation offered him a job immediately, but I can’t see him taking that. That isn’t high profile enough. Unless he just wants to disappear for awhile. Not likely. There is talk that he might make a Presidential run: ‘‘‘He’s running,’ tweeted Stephen L. Miller, a conservative commentator and editor at The Spectator, a sentiment that many media figures on the right echoed. ‘It significantly changes the GOP 2024 primary overnight,’ wrote Philip Wegmann, a White House Correspondent for RealClearNews.” Miller and Wegmann aren’t small fries in the conservative movement, but I can’t see Tucker doing that. But, maybe. I don’t know the man. He hasn’t called me in Thailand and ask for my advice. Yet.
Can you imagine what Trump would do/say if Tucker DID decide to jump into the Presidential melee? Somebody else to insult. Might be a hoot. Carlson would get a lot of support, but he wouldn’t obtain the nomination.
Tucker needs to clean up his act on homosexuality. I heard him, one night, defend homosexual “marriage,” and that is a definite put off. Any conservative who will not strongly defend traditional marriage as ordained by God has a big hole, in my opinion (Trump apparently has the same hole). Still better than Biden, but very disappointing. America’s number one problem is moral, not political, and defense of God and Judeo-Christian morality is essential to get the country back where it needs to be. Carlson has, of course been very outspoken against transgenderism and child mutilation, and that is probably in the mix as to why he got the boot. His attacks on Ray Epps have also been mentioned as a possible reason.
We don’t know why Fox did it. And nobody knows, at the moment, what Carlson will do. He himself probably doesn’t even know yet. Stay tuned.
