Tucker Carlson breaks silence after Fox ouster: ‘See you soon’

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 13:48:36 GMT

Conservative pundit Tucker Carlson posted a cryptic video message to his Twitter profile late Wednesday evening — his first public comments since his ouster from Fox News this week. During the just over two-minute message, Carlson said he had realized after "stepping outside the noise for a few days" how many "genuinely nice people there are in this country." "The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates on television are," he continued. "They're completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years, we won't even remember we had them. Trust me as someone who has participated in them." Carlson was ousted from his perch at Fox News on Monday in a shocking move that continues to ripple through the media industry and Republican party. Fox has given no reason for its parting ways with Carlson beyond a statement thanking him for contributions to the network. The former top prime time host's video on Wednesday was published ju...
