Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has broken his silence two days after his abrupt departure from the network was announced. On Wednesday night, Carlson posted a video to his Twitter account in which he addressed his supporters and shared his thoughts on the current state of political debates.
In the video, Carlson started by addressing the audience with “things you notice when you take a little time off,” like how “unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are.” He then went on to criticize both political parties and lamented that the “big topics get virtually no discussion.”
Carlson, who rose to fame with his misogynistic, fear-mongering and racist rants that often parroted white nationalist talking points, also claimed that there were “some” media outlets he deemed “honest.”
The video, just over two minutes long, made no explicit mention of his firing or of Fox News. However, Carlson’s sudden departure from the network on Monday has sparked a wave of speculation about the reasons behind his dismissal.
The former cable host’s video has been met with both criticism and support from viewers. While some have praised Carlson for speaking out, others have condemned him for his past comments and actions.
