Famous never Trumpers Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayes quit as contributors for Fox News in protest of Tucker Carlson’s January 6 documentary suggesting that the Capitol Hill riot may have in part been sparked by the FBI.
In late October, as Carlson’s documentary hit the subscription service Fox Nation, Jonah Goldberg sent a text to Stephen Hayes wondering if he should quit the network.
“I’m tempted just to quit Fox over this.”
“I’m game,” Hayes replied. “Totally outrageous. It will lead to violence. Not sure how we can stay.”
Speaking with the New York Times, Hayes and Goldberg said they stayed on as contributors with Fox News despite their never Trump stance in hopes that they could help “right the ship” after the former president exited the White House. Those hopes were dashed with the arrival of Patriot Purge, Tucker Carlson’s documentary exploring January 6 and how the riot has allegedly been used by the Biden administration to crack down on patriotic Americans. Goldberg said the documentary was evidence that “people have made peace with this direction of things, and there is no plan, at least, that anyone made me aware of for a course correction.”
“Now, righting the ship is an academic question,” said Goldberg. “The ‘Patriot Purge’ thing meant: OK, we hit the iceberg now, and I can’t do the rationalizations anymore.”
Hayes, editor-in-chief of The Weekly Standard, worried that the documentary could lead people into believing “that there’s a domestic war on terror and it’s coming for half of the country.”
“That’s not true,” said Hayes. “The imagery of waterboarding and suggestions that half the country is going to be subject to this kind of treatment, that’s the same kind of treatment that the federal government used when it went after Al Qaeda.”

Oh well.
Later, ‘taters.
“Well.... Bye...” /Curly Bill
HAHA!!
And neither one is missed at all...
Let’s roll....clean out the US CONGRESS...AND RETURN OUR RIGHTFUL POTUS TO OFFICE.
BYE!
The IQ avg of Fox just went up dramatically.
Sounds like arranged propaganda texts to me. I’m not buying spontaneity or truthfulness in them. Long ago Jonah Goldberg wrote “Liberal Fascism” and now he has joined up with them.
Too bad Cavuto and Whorealdo didn’t join them.
Jonah... you can go over to MSNBC and ‘assume the position’ as the house conservative. You’ll know what it’s like to be the piñata at a 8 year old’s birthday.
Those 2 are being seriously overpaid at Fox and they know it.
Hey, job openings at FAUX NOOSE for real conservatives? Don’t let the door smack you in the forehead. 😂
Good riddance to Bush League flunkies.
The trash takes itself out.
Excellent.
I didn't know that Jonah was still with Fox. Haven't watched him in years. Always thought that he was an arrogant snob elitist back in the day.
Good riddance!
