Tucker Carlson

Tucker Carlson released his first statement since parting ways with Fox News on Monday.
In a video, Carlson did not mention Fox but criticized American media and both political parties.
He shared the video at 8:01 p.m. ET — the same time that his old primetime show used to start.

Tucker Carlson made his first public statement since being abruptly ousted from Fox News on Monday.

In a 2-minute video posted to Twitter, the former primetime host did not mention the network, but criticized “American media” and “both political parties” for ignoring the “undeniably big topics” that will “define our future.”

“Where can you still find Americans saying true things? There aren’t many places left, but there are some, and that’s enough. As long as you can hear the words, there is hope,” Carlson said. “See you soon.”
