Sure, he doesn’t have Fox News to hawk his white supremacist B.S. on anymore — nevertheless it seems he’s already discovered a nice substitute.
Tucker Carlson introduced Tuesday afternoon that after his firing he’s going to carry “a new version” of his present again instantly — solely it’ll air immediately on Twitter. He mentioned in a video posted to the social community:
“Starting soon, we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter. Free speech is the main right you have. Without it, you have no others.”
He’s mixing up freedom of speech with freedom of the press, isn’t he? Oh wait, no, as a result of he’s not really doing information and by no means was. He’s simply doing racist canine whistling (whereas reportedly saying far more explicitly racist stuff behind the scenes) for a rising variety of white supremacist-leaning viewers. You know, stuff the lamestream media simply can’t deal with! Sigh.

Innerestingly, in accordance with Puck News reporter Dylan Byers, Tucker had a non-compete clause in his Fox contract. After he was let go from the community — reportedly attributable to their concern his personal texts would make the community look manner too racist — he would have gotten a cool $25 million! For doing nothing! Or, extra precisely, for not doing what he’s doing, one other model of his Fox News present. He may have finished a Westminster Dog Show podcast about why the white canine ought to all win, that may have been wonderful. But he’s selecting to forgo thousands and thousands to do, as he places it, “a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years” on a rival… properly, not community precisely…
Why Twitter? It’s doable no precise community may have him. It’s extra possible, although, that he’s getting a really, superb supply from a like-minded multibillionaire. Under Elon Musk, white supremacists are flourishing on Twitter like by no means earlier than.
As for the cash, properly, it appears to be like like Tucker continues to be going to attempt to get that $25 mil. His lawyer fired off a letter accusing Fox News of “fraud and breach of contract” simply earlier than the announcement. It appears to be like like he’s popping out swinging in opposition to his former community. Will it work? Who is aware of? But he and Twitter are, unhappy to say, a reasonably good match nowadays…
What do YOU consider Tucker’s large transfer??
