Waving him goodbye: The View hosts, Jon Stewart lead liberal celebrity gloating over conservative Tucker Carlson's ouster from Fox
Daily Mail UK ^ | April 24, 2023 | Alex Hammer

Prominent progressives are already celebrating the news of Tucker Carlson's sudden Fox News ousting - with the ladies of The View leading the charge with an on-air Mexican wave.

The response, seen on Monday morning, came almost immediately after Fox issued a statement announcing they had 'parted ways' with the talking head, spurring a litany of left-leaning figures such as Jon Stewart to take to Twitter to revel in the decision.

Apart from the former Daily Show host - who famously clashed with Carlson on a 2004 episode of CNN's Crossfire over his style of interviewing - others saluted the host's nixing included George Takei, Twitch streamer Hasanabi, and Keith Olbermann.

Some offered choice words for the longtime Fox fixture, while others, like Stewart, were more subtle when rubbing salt in the 53-year-old Trump supporter's wound - with the Democrat only offering a pointed emoji in response.

The exhibition seen from the women of the View, meanwhile, was much more marked - with longtime host Whoopi Goldberg announcing the news before joining onlookers in an impassioned rendition of 'Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye'.

Could this have been part of the Dominion deal, since he was named by them?

Tucker will be more than fine, Tucker knows Elon Musk who is going into the broadcasting business. Watch for TwitterTV and/or StarlinkTV.

This is literal Authoritarianism. Carlson showed compromising footage from 1/6/21 and here’s his reward. Ray Epps is allegedly a pedophile according to his own daughter. There is zero reason he shouldn’t be locked up based on what we’ve seen. Why are those in charge protecting this goof? He is seen inciting a riot on 1/5/21 and was even at the gates on 1/6/21. It’s all on tape. Slam dunk case for a legitimate AG.

“part of the Dominion deal, since he was named by them?”

That would be my guess.......and probably Paul Ryan’s idea.

That firing/quitting is costing Fox 698 million, stock going down. Carlson will wind up in a better position and Fox will be gone.

They’ll do it anyway. They can’t help themselves.

And nothing will happen to them.

Careful what you wish for...I’m pretty sure Tucker was being silenced on certain topics (Hunter, J6 videos, ...) and wanted to have more freedom.

Now he has it.

They act as if they watched Fox News in the first place. But hey I wonder if they were as gleeful with CNN FIRING Don Lemon or do they not have any comment on that

Looking through the source (Daily Mail), seeing the type people who made so many disparaging comments about Carlson really shows just how much the liberal socialist scum hated him...

I wish Musk would release a new smart phone and get into the ISP business.
