Twitter Flooded With Stories About Tucker Carlson’s Kindness In Wake Of Fox News Exit

“When I first moved to DC, [Tucker Carlson] heard it was my first Thanksgiving away from home. I had just gone through a divorce and my kids were on the other side of the country. He invited me to his home and I enjoyed Thanksgiving with his father, his wife, his children and his dogs,” radio personality Larry O’Connor wrote.

“Tucker Carlson is genuinely one of the kindest, most down to earth people I have ever met in my life. When I had the opportunity to meet him a few months ago, he greeted me as if we had been best friends for a lifetime,” Jaimee Michell, founder of Gays Against Groomers, tweeted.

“Tucker sent me a text message out of the blue several years ago just to tell me he appreciates my work. I had a much lower profile back then. I didn’t think he even knew who I was. He took the time to track my number down and reach out. Very few people like that in this business,” Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh said.

“Extremely rare that someone much higher on the totem pole will send you a word of encouragement when they stand to gain nothing from it. There are only a few people in the business who will do something like that and one of them is Tucker Carlson. Great talent and a good man.”

“Tucker Carlson once called me, out of the blue, because he had heard through friends that I was going through a rough patch. We had never spoken before, but he took 45 minutes out of his night to offer support/advice. It remains one of the most surreal experiences of my life,” National Review staff writer Nate Hochman said.

“One of the most powerful men in conservative politics took the time to sit down and call some random 23 year old kid he had never met — just to tell him to hang in there, and to ask if there was anything he could do to help. It’s something I will never forget.”

I think most people would agree that Jon Stewart had it right.




^^^^ Jon Stewart's 2004 appearance on Crossfire, when he famously called Tucker Carlson a "di*k."

What lies has he specifically promoted?

Seriously?

Tucker Carlson Continues to Prop Up Stolen-Election Lies, Despite Privately Saying They Were Crazy

 

[InVOLuntary]

That's nice of him.

But irrelevant if he is knowingly promoting a lie to millions of people, night after night. Don't you think ?

If we prosecuted media for spreading false info, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, NPR would cease to exist.

Tucker Carlson Continues to Prop Up Stolen-Election Lies, Despite Privately Saying They Were Crazy

I think everyone knows last election was bs especially with the mail in fraud. The ongoing voting machine issues aren’t just an occasional occurrence either.

Hang in there bro. You might become the last man standing.

There is no evidence to support that belief ... and you are dead wrong when you say "everyone knows ... ." You don't speak for anyone but yourself, and the other Trump voters who have sour grapes over his defeat. The only problems with voting machines were identified as being the result of operator error, such as the case in Michigan which Trump touted. There is no proof of systemic fraud involving voting-by-mail either.

That is completely unproven and ridiculous. LOL.

You can't wish something into reality.

 

[Gandalf]

What he says in this short video 1 month ago is probably the reason he got canned. Not this specific instance but you can clearly see where his mind is. Too dangerous to the ruling status quo.

Regardless of your politics, you have to respect what he is saying here.

I’m not on here crying about it everyday like you with all your conspiracy theories. You still cry about Russia propaganda that the dims created. Most people are smart enough to realize how unlikely a corrupt dementia patient that didn’t even campaign while hiding in their basement received 80 million votes. Even with all the unsolicited ballots and other shady mail in shenanigans it’s unlikely he got that. Luckily we’re all suffering since that’s the dim motto…”I don’t mind suffering to protect my feels so long as everyone does too”.

I would find it far more embarrassing knowing I voted for the most inept brain damaged, corrupt president in the history of mankind than to admit his 'election' was arranged. But you do you.

I think the biggest fraud is in the harvesting of ballots. We don't allow that BS here in Ohio. Other states shouldn't either

As for the voting machines, unless you've got the goods on 'em, you can't go public with allegations

Right. Reporting all the people claiming the machines are switching selections and how they happen to just go down in certain districts all the time should be all that’s talked about which should be enough to warrant an investigation.

Crying because Trump lost, is exactly what you're doing and it's pathetic.

It's not unlikely at all, if the opponent is someone as polarizing and unpopular as Donald Trump. You are failing to account for what a poor candidate he was/is. Independent voters turned away from him in masses. The 2020 Presidential General Election results were consistent with where the polls were from April of 2019 until November of 2020 ... and the 2022 mid-term election results also reflected how poorly Trump's message resonates with independent voters in battleground states such as Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona and Nevada.

Even with all the unsolicited ballots and other shady mail in shenanigans it’s unlikely he got that.

Of the people who have been convicted of election fraud stemming from the 2020 Presidential General Election, Trump supporters outnumber Biden supporters. That's a fact.

 

[BowlBrother85]

There have been audits performed and investigations conducted. There is no evidence of what you are alleging.

 

[Ttucke11]

I, for one, am actually still crying that Trump lost. As should everyone else. This has been an embarrassment of a term so far, and we still have plenty to go.

Since Tucker Carlson has more than likely signed an NDA, we will probably never know the reason for his firing. However, Dominion's CEO, John Poulos, was asked if Carlson's termination was a term of the settlement and he replied, "No comment." Maybe that indicates something ... maybe it doesn't. It doesn't really matter anyway. He's gone.

Also, Fox's statement following the settlement referenced a commitment to "the highest journalistic standards." That's a tough sell if you are still employing someone who tried to have a reporter fired for accurately fact-checking Donald Trump - because he thought it was bad for ratings.

Tucker Carlson Tried to Get Fox News Reporter Fired for Fact-Checking Trump

It did not matter to Carlson that the fact-check was accurate. His only concern was with the Nielsen ratings.

That's an internal employee dispute that doesn't concern Dominion. Again, no one has put forth that Tucker was one of those engaged in libeling them or their machines which, from what I gather people like Bartiromo did and are still there.

I'd imagine both sides of the settlement are under a NDA, so Poulos no comment is likely no more than that. And The Intelligencer goes into the weeds with "Carlson rebranding himself as a white nationalist..." - really? FFS - that's objective journalism. I'm not sure Carlson has ever claimed to be a journo.

Another thing that occurred to me is how quickly no more J6 videos were forthcoming from Carlson after he said much more was coming. Someone, probably Murdoch family, quashed that and I don't imagine Carlson was happy about it. Add in the lawsuit(s) that allege discrimination/harassment or whatever, in which he's a/the figure, and you probably have several things that provoked his firing.

If Trump had been willing to adjust his tone and temperament, he could have won. Biden does not inspire anyone. However, Trump stubbornly (foolishly) never did.

 

[BowlBrother85]

I didn't say that it did ... but lobbying for a colleague to be fired for doing their job as a journalist says a lot about Tucker Carlson as a person. It also says that he valued Nielsen ratings over telling the truth. That speaks volumes about his character, or lack thereof.

 

[NCFisher]

Tucker Carlson's producer was fired too, so it may very well be related to the Abby Grossberg suit ... but how can you claim to care about journalism when you employ Tucker Carlson? That's a joke.

Says the guy of never-ending Alfa Bank and every "Russiaaaaah!" hoax - even the zombie hoaxes with a stake in their heart - as Maddow perpetrated and resuscitated them. Carlson is a pundit, no more or less than Maddow; neither are journalists nor did their respective networks hire them to be.

I was just being an ass. I don't care to talk about the Trump/Biden 2020 election and I really don't want to talk about it in 2024. It's a disgrace all around. Whether their was cheating, propaganda, or outer space alien interference. The media was disgusting, people became disgusting, and the candidates have always been disgusting. It tore the country apart, and a lot of people are responsible.

But you did wonder aloud if he was fired because Dominion might have demanded it. I'm saying there are more likely explanations and detailed why.

 

[OrangeBoro]

I have no doubt there was mass fraud with the mail out voting. Biden even admitted to conducting the largest voter fraud operation in our history.

Fox took a billion dollar stock haircut after they announced that Carlson was fired. How much worse could they have suffered if they went to court and duked it out?

I would of used that in court in the case.

That's not true. There was no evidence that collusion between the 2016 Trump Campaign and the Russian governement occurred. The point I always make about that, however, is that it wasn't from a lack of effort on Trump Jr.'s part. The June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Natalia Veselnitskaya and agents of the Russian government did occur. The e-mail exchanges between Rob Goldstone and Trump Jr. make it clear that the purpose of the meeting was for opposition research on Hillary Clinton to be exchanged. Veselnitskaya and her associates didn't have anything but already publicly available information to exchange, however. Goldstone had over-hyped their dirt. Collusion didn't occur ... but only because the Russians didn't have the goods. This is what I always have said ... Collusion didn't happen, but the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting justified the suspicions and the Mueller probe ... especially when taking Trump's lies about the purpose behind the meeting into account.

You would have presented an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! as evidence in a court of law? LOL. Don't you think most people would laugh at that? You would look like a fool, who didn't know a joke when he saw one.
